Asparagus

The benefits of asparagus are plentiful, but one of the most important is that it helps with liver drainage. The liver is responsible for filtering the toxins out of the body, so cleaning that out will definitely help you live a healthier life. Asparagus can be prepared in many different ways, including steaming, boiling, stir-frying, roasting or grilling, and can be eaten as a side dish or as part of the main meal.
