10 Foods Good for Digestion
Digestive Food #9: Artichoke
Artichokes contain a unique form of fiber known as inulin, which is known as a prebiotic. Prebiotics act as a fertilizer for the gut and increase the amount of probiotic bacteria in the stomach. One artichoke contains 6 grams of dietary fiber, that’s more than one whole cup of prunes. They also contain 4 grams of protein, which is significant for a vegetable.
The bile-producing cynarin alleviates digestive bloating while the fiber in artichokes helps to break down food and keep the digestive system going. Artichokes are considered to be one of the most antioxidant-rich vegetables you could eat. They have antioxidant power that help detox the liver and prevent cardiovascular disease.
