10 Health Benefits of Artichokes
Health Benefit #3: Healthy Liver
The liver is quite a large organ that is found just above the stomach. It helps to filter toxins from our bodies and also has other functions such as producing certain digestive chemicals. It is very important to us and we cannot live without it. It therefore makes a lot of sense to look after it.
The liver is a good source of silymarin and cynarin. These are antioxidants and both have been shown to be able to keep the liver in good condition by helping to reduce the presence of otherwise harmful toxins. Some studies have shown that these compounds may even be able to help repair liver cells that have been damaged.
