Love this post by @enjoyingtheartofliving. Nutrition tip….Artichokes rank among the most antioxidant-rich of all vegetables. Artichokes are low in fat, high in fiber, and loaded with vitamins and minerals like vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, phosphorus, and magnesium. Let’s look at what else they can do for your body 💪🏻 Artichoke reduce total and “bad” LDL cholesterol while increasing “good” HDL cholesterol. They contain luteolin, an antioxidant which prevents cholesterol formation. Regular consumption of artichoke help protect your liver from damage and help relieve symptoms of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.Scientists think antioxidants found in artichokes — cynarin and silymarin — are partly responsible for these benefits. Artichoke leafs may maintain digestive health by boosting friendly gut bacteria and alleviating symptoms of indigestion. Cynarin, a natural compound in artichokes, may cause these positive effects by stimulating bile production, accelerating gut movement, Certain compounds in artichokes have antispasmodic properties. This means that they can help stop muscle spasms common in IBS, balance gut bacteria, and reduce inflammation They can be steamed, boiled, grilled, roasted, or sautéed. You can also prepare them stuffed or breaded, and adding other seasonings for an extra burst of flavor.Steaming is the most popular cooking method and usually takes 20–40 minutes, depending on the size. 👩🏼‍🍳🥘 Once cooked, the outer leaves can be pulled off and dipped in sauce, such as aioli . Simply remove the edible flesh from the leaves by pulling them through your teeth.Once the leaves are removed, carefully spoon out the fuzzy substance called the choke until you reach the heart. You can then scoop out the heart to eat or spread. #artichokes #mediterraneandiet #wholefoods #vegetarianrecipes #mediterraneanfood #mediterraneanlifestyle #phytonutrients #eeeeeats #mediterraneanrecipes #todayfoods #grilling #eatmoreplants #mediterraneannutrition #nutritiontips #nutritionadvice #liverhealth #nutritioncoach #functionalnutrition #tuesdaytips #hearthealth #stopdieting #eathighfats #oliveoil #healthycooking #guthealth #enddietculture #eatwell #enj https://www.instagram.com/p/CMVfL0UjbBM/?igshid=xv0zodvjw144
