Benefits
Artichoke is used as a herbal medicine for liver health and is also great for the liver as a food. Artichokes contain cynarin which is known for stimulating bile production. Bile helps us to digest fats efficiently and flush out any toxins from our system supporting the liver’s process. It is also full of antioxidants which help prevent free radical damage to the liver.
Goats cheese is a great addition as it is lower in fat than other cheese so may be easier for some to digest and it contains calcium, protein, vitamin A and has even been shown to be anti-inflammatory which may assist conditions like non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
