In one study from 2003, researchers calculated that conventionally grown produce travels, on average, nearly 1,500 miles before reaching consumers. Other factors is frozen gets picked at an earlier age and quickly frozen when it's at its peak of vitamins and minerals. Fresh sits on the shelf and nutrients start to deplete.

For home remedies Artichokes. have also been used to stimulate the flow of bile from the liver, and this is thought to help reduce the symptoms of heartburn and alcohol “hangover.” It would make sense since the evidence shows that it stimulates liver cell generation.

This beautiful looking dish can be Eaten by broiling or baking. The leaves, which is the heart of the plant, are tasty and good for dipping. You bite down and slide each white part of the leaf under your teeth to get the meat. The middle part is very meaty where you can make dips. Always ask your doctor to check your AST and ALT LEVELS in your blood work. It is one of the indicators of healthy liver functions .
