Artichoke: benefits and properties of this diuretic food
The month of November brings the beginning of the best season to eat artichokes, a vegetable that offers excellent culinary qualities and great versatility, in addition to its multiple health benefits.
The artichoke (cynara scolymus), whose origin is traced back to ancient Egypt, is characterized by its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory power, being rich in fiber, vitamins A, B, C, and E, minerals, carbohydrates, and low in calories. Its consumption season extends until March, making this the time when they have the most flavor and nutrients, and are more sustainable and economical.
Properties and benefits of the artichoke: ideal for weight control
The artichoke contributes to weight control, normal liver function, and the elimination of toxins. Here are its main properties and benefits:
Satiating and diuretic
One of the most notable benefits of the artichoke is its high fiber content, which helps regulate intestinal transit and slows down nutrient absorption, preventing sharp spikes in blood glucose. Plant fibers help increase the feeling of fullness and, therefore, control weight.
Ally against cholesterol
It is a plant food with very few calories and virtually fat-free, containing a large amount of water and is effective in treating hyperlipidemia (too much fat in the blood) and in eliminating cholesterol. In fact, it is widely used as a dietary supplement for maintaining blood lipid levels and for weight control.
Excellent detoxifier
It stimulates bile secretion and aids in the digestion of fats due to its content of cynarin, a component that gives it part of its bitter flavor. Thus, it is an ideal vegetable for cleansing, detoxifying, and purifying fatty liver and treating inflamed liver. Additionally, it helps drain the gallbladder to prevent the formation of stones.
