ARTICHOKE 600

Even the ancient Romans benefited from the artichoke

"After eating, should you rest or take 1000 steps?" For the ancient Romans, the answer was clear: neither! They simply reached for the artichoke (botanical name: Cynara scolymus). The thistle-like cultivated plant was served to the nobility and wealthy - after their famously lavish feasts with greasy food and lots of alcohol - to get their digestion and bodies going again.

But what the ancients didn't know about this pleasantly bitter-tasting "luxury vegetable" was that artichokes are even better before meals! This is because the artichoke is rich in vitamins A, B1 and folic acid, minerals and soluble fibers (including inulin). And today we know that a diet rich in fiber fills you up faster and helps to regulate your appetite. And if you feel full faster, you eat less and lose weight faster.

ARTISCHOCKE 600 - with a particularly high proportion of cynarin for digestion

Artichokes contain many valuable nutrients. The most important of these is cynarin. Cynarin is a plant substance that belongs to the organic caffeic acid compounds. The aromatic cynarin is primarily responsible for the production of bile, which in turn supports the digestion of dietary fats*.

Artichoke against digestive problems

Digestion is the process of breaking down food in the digestive tract. How long the digestion process takes depends on the food components. Carbohydrates are digested and utilized the fastest, followed by proteins. Dietary fats take the longest to be digested - this can take up to three days. This can put a lot of strain on the body. Especially after a high-fat meal or if you already have problems with digestion ...

The artichoke in ARTISCHOCKE 600 supports digestion, the normal functioning of the intestinal tract and helps with digestive complaints (stomach pain, nausea, bloating, flatulence).

Lower your blood lipid levels with artichokes

Especially those who often eat fatty foods need a functioning fat metabolism. Fat metabolism is the breakdown of dietary fats in the digestive tract, in short: "fat digestion". This begins in the stomach and continues in the intestine. We absorb the following fats (lipids) through our food:

• Cholesterol (eggs, meat, etc.)

• Triglycerides (vegetable oils, animal fats, etc.)

• Fatty acids of different sizes (chain length of the molecule) and saturation (saturated or unsaturated fatty acids)

The amount of these fats that we consume is reflected in our blood lipid levels. For example, high blood cholesterol levels (primarily the "bad LDL cholesterol") can have serious consequences - from circulatory disorders to heart attacks or strokes.

The aim should therefore be to normalize blood lipid levels. Which brings us back to ARTISCHOCKE 600: Because artichoke can help to lower blood lipid levels*.

Lose weight naturally with artichokes

According to the "Study on the Health of Adults in Germany" conducted by the Robert Koch Institute in 2012, around 53% of women and 67% of men are overweight. This means that they had a BMI (body mass index) of over 25 points. Today we know that there is a connection between being overweight and the blood lipid levels already mentioned.

However, artichokes not only help to lower blood lipid levels, they also promote weight loss*. ARTISCHOCKE 600 from My Perfect Shape can therefore be a particularly useful companion during a diet - in a completely natural and plant-based way.

Please note: There are artichoke preparations on the market that are advertised as being able to lose 5-10 kg in just a few days by taking them. Such advertising promises are completely unrealistic and dubious. It is better to stay away from such products, which are often sold at completely inflated prices and are advertised very aggressively on TV and the Internet.

Artichoke - and the liver laughs

The liver plays a major role in our metabolism. It functions like a chemical factory, breaking down, converting and building up substances - and is involved in the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates and proteins. The body can excrete toxic substances via the liver. It also provides bile acids for fat metabolism.

These tasks make the liver absolutely vital. It is dangerous that diseases of this organ are often not recognized at first, as it is insensitive to pain. An unhealthy diet can damage the liver - and even go unnoticed for many years.

With ARTISCHOCKE 600 you can rely on a particularly high-quality dietary supplement. The fact that artichoke also supports normal heart health and the normal immune system* is a less important, but all the better side effect.
