5-Artichokes
Research reveals that artichokes contain a prebiotic that can be beneficial to digestive tract health and help maintain regularity. Prebiotics are a unique type of fiber, which functions by feeding the healthy bacteria present in the colon, assisting in optimizing your gut health. Consuming prebiotics can aid in relieving constipation.
According to a 2017 review of five studies, it was concluded that prebiotics improved stool frequency and increased consistency. One study included 32 participants who consumed fiber removed from globe artichokes. Three weeks later, it was found that there were high levels of healthy bacteria in the colon, while harmful gut bacteria were minimal.
Artichokes have been shown to minimize irritable bowel syndrome and assist in normalizing bowel patterns. Artichokes are available in both jarred and fresh form and can be utilized in everything from savory tarts to creamy dips.
