Visceral fat is a dangerous type of fat that surrounds internal organs of the body such as the liver, kidneys, intestines, etc. The accumulation of visceral fat not only increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, fatty liver but also seriously affects overall health.
Artichokes contain an active ingredient that can promote bile production and help the liver remove excess fat from the body. Research shows that artichoke extract can reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase lipid metabolism, thereby helping to reduce fat in visceral fat tissue. In addition, the high fiber content in artichokes helps improve digestion, increase satiety and reduce fat absorption.
One of the popular ways to use it is to drink boiled artichoke or dried water every day. Artichoke juice not only helps detoxify the liver and cool down, but also effectively supports fat loss.
Artichoke tea is also used by many people instead of daily water to improve liver function and boost metabolism. A study conducted in Italy showed that people who took artichoke extract for 12 weeks had a significantly reduced liver and visceral fat index compared to the control group.
However, using artichokes also requires careful consideration of reasonable dosage. Excessive use can cause bloating, digestive disorders or affect blood pressure.
When combined with a healthy diet and reasonable exercise, artichokes are a natural, safe method to help reduce visceral fat and protect long-term health.
