8. Asparagus
In addition to supplying an assortment of important vitamins and minerals, asparagus has also been well studied for its ability to promote liver health. In fact, one study found that asparagus extract improved several markers of liver function and increased antioxidant status in mice with liver damage.
What’s more, test-tube studies indicate that asparagus is a great source of antioxidants like ferulic acid, kaempferol, quercetin, rutin, and isorhamnetin, which prevent cell damage caused by excess alcohol consumption. For an easy side dish, drizzle asparagus with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 10–15 minutes, or until lightly browned.
