After a couple of days of heavy drinking I would like to know if there is anything I can eat to help my liver recover?

NOTICE: By the time you have noticed this notice, you will have noticed that this notice is not worth noticing.

The easiest way is not to undergo spells of heavy drinking in the first place.  However, in today's society, that is frequently frowned upon ("wet blanket", "teetotaler", weird)  Or, someone accidentally goes too far.

If the spell of drinking was an acute incident, i.e. not a frequent occurence, and is not likely to become a habit, then the easiest way to help the liver to recover is not to be continually "attacked" by toxins.  (In other words, don't make a habit of it.)  Then, the easiest treatment is a high carbohydrate diet for a few days.  This will give the liver cells a rest from having to deal with additional toxins, and allow them to recover.  It's best to avoid fatty foods for a few days, as well, as these tend to cause the liver cells to have to work overtime.

 So, the short answer is a high carbohydrate diet (cakes, candy, jelly donuts)--everything that your mother told you to avoid.

Of course, this presupposes that you do not have diabetes.  Then, all bets are off; you shouldn't have been drinking, anyway.

Stretch yourself into healthy living, recycle for life! 

Live kind

Hoping that your not trying to heal cirrhosis or hepatitis C then a couple niacin tablets with a 1/2 gallon of water over a 24 hr. period is a pretty good toxic flush. Don't take more than 2 tablets and lots o' h2o or else you will not like the side effects.

Hope that helps.

You don't have to do anything.

The liver is the only organ that can regerate itself anew every time.

The ancient Greeks knew that, thus the punishment on prmetheus - that an eagle will eat his liver everyday was an endless one.

The answer is very simple and direct - don't drink.
