Artichokes: True Superfood

Artichokes are one of the most abundant sources of nutrition, filled with phytochemicals such as lutein and isothiocyanates; vitamins such as A, E, and K; amino acids; and enzymes. They are B12-enhancing stars, wonderful for bringing balance to the gut.

Artichokes are dense with minerals such as silica, which is one of the foundational minerals of our bodies that’s critical for our existence. Artichokes’ magnesium content gets attention, and rightfully so. There’s a bigger picture to what gives artichokes their sedative qualities, though: In addition to magnesium, artichokes contain sedation phytochemicals that calm all body systems, as well as a compilation of calming minerals. This mineral denseness corresponds with the dense organs and glands (such as the liver, spleen, pancreas, brain, adrenals, and thyroid) that artichokes nourish. Deep within these organs, we have foundational nutrient reserves, and artichokes are one of those foods that replenish our reserves to promote longevity.

Artichokes are incredible for the pancreas, making them a fantastic food for people with diabetes, hypoglycemia, and other blood sugar imbalances. They are also one of the best foods for helping to reduce kidney stones and gallstones, as well as calcifications and scar tissue inside the body.

Artichokes help protect the body from the radiation of X-rays, cancer treatments, dental treatment, and common exposure. Artichokes are meant to be taken seriously in our lives, and should be considered medicine.

How To Use:

Artichokes are most nutritious when steamed. Consider having artichokes on the dinner menu four times a week for promising results.
