Every spring, when it is the season to nourish the liver, I, a child with a bad liver, will start various actions to nourish the liver. There are many traditional liver-nourishing foods in traditional Chinese medicine, which are not easy to buy here, so I went to Rome and followed the customs and ate the traditional French liver-nourishing food-artichoke. <br /><br />Artichoke, which looks like a lotus lantern in a Buddhist temple, should still be a strange food in China, but in France, it is the most common favorite vegetable. Its liver-nourishing effect is also recognized, and there are many health products made of artichoke. I have also been taking artichoke concentrate now. I can't say how magical its effect is. After all, it is just an extract and not a quick-acting medicine. As long as it persists for a long time, it should have an effect. <br /><br />The taste of artichoke is very fresh, with the fragrance of wild spring vegetables. The taste is slightly bitter between bitter gourd and tea leaves, but the aftertaste is very sweet. The taste is like the most tender and skinned bamboo shoots, but also seems to have a faint fragrance of flowers. <br /><br />The reason why artichoke is called a liver-nourishing sacred object is that its effect is threefold:<br /><br /> 1. Artichoke has the effect of promoting liver blood circulation and promoting liver cell regeneration. It can promote the recovery and improvement of liver function. <br /><br />2. Artichoke has the effect of promoting the secretion and excretion of bile (medically called "choleic effect") and can promote the excretion of toxins in the body. <br /><br />3. Artichoke has the effect of lowering blood lipids and cholesterol and can promote the discharge of excess lipids in the body.
