Artichokes for Health and Beauty

8/9/2016

 
Artichokes are high on the list of foods that are packed full of antioxidants.  In a recent study artichokes ranked number one as the vegetable with the most antioxidants.  Artichokes reduce inflammation throughout the entire body because they contain an antioxidants. The reduced inflammation makes you more beautiful by decreasing puffiness and skin redness, and well as reducing wrinkles. 
Artichokes contain lots of fiber, which helps the body rid itself of toxins.  This can help your skin by fighting acne.  Artichokes also contain antioxidants that are especially good for your liver and may prevent liver disease.  According to folklore, artichokes have long been reputed to cure liver ailments and liver cancer, as well as curing hangovers.  Just one artichoke contains about 25% of your daily requirement for fiber.  Artichokes are very low in calories, just remember to watch out for high calorie dips!
