what helps prevent hangovers
Eating asparagus before you go out, or while you're drinking, can help prevent or ease a hangover, according to 2009 research from Korea. Scientists found that extracts taken from the leaves and shoots of asparagus boosted levels of important enzymes that break down alcohol after heavy drinking.
These nutrients can be taken at the time the alcohol is consumed or before bedtime to help prevent a hangover. Vitamin C. Vitamin C is one of the essential nutrients depleted by alcohol consumption (Hancock 2005). Because it is the body's primary water-soluble dietary antioxidant, this depletion results in severe oxidative stress in daily drinkers (Masalkar 2005).
Garlic extract (S-allyl-cysteine). Because the heavy consumption of alcohol produces many deleterious effects within the body, including an increased risk of cancer, liver disease, and neurological disease, it is suggested that hangover-prevention ingredients such as garlic be taken any time alcohol is consumed.
