Why artichokes help prevent blood sugar spikes

HẠ MÂY (Theo indianexpress) |

Artichoke is a healthy food that helps control blood sugar and is good for health thanks to its outstanding properties.

Artichokes are rich in fiber, which helps slow glucose absorption; they contain inulin, a prebiotic fiber that may improve insulin sensitivity.

We can eat boiled artichokes as a vegetable in meals to reduce the amount of sugar and insulin entering the body.

However, people with metabolic syndrome should consult a nutritionist before consuming artichokes.

People who are taking diabetes medication should not use artichoke at the same time because it can cause blood sugar levels to drop too low, causing hypoglycemia.

Artichokes are also a rich source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, iron, magnesium and potassium - good for people with high blood sugar.

Antioxidants found in artichokes help fight free radicals, a major contributor to aging.

According to Harvard Health Publishing, cynarin in artichoke leaves helps stimulate bile secretion, which can remove cholesterol from the body.

Artichoke extract also has neuroprotective effects, improves cognitive function, prevents Alzheimer's disease, restores memory, reduces anxiety and depression.
