Hangovers are the worst. It’s great when you’re having a Saturday night out, but then the next morning it can be hell.

Over the years, everyone comes to create their own versions of hangover cures. These can range from the greasy, dirty burger and fries to an herbal tea and some rice crackers – whatever works for you.

However, there might be actual scientific proof that one veggie, in particular, could help to cure your hangover symptoms.

According to science, it seems that asparagus is the miracle veggie for hangover cures.

That is because scientists believe that the veggie’s amino acids and minerals don’t just guard your liver against toxins, but can also help to take away the usual hangover symptoms such as headache, upset stomach, and nausea. However, it should be noted that the one symptom it can’t cure is regret.

Furthermore, another reason it is supposedly so great is because the vegetable is actually a diuretic, meaning it will make you have to pee, thus being able to flush out your system of all the toxins from the previous night. It’s also full of vitamin C as well as other antioxidants.
