It therefore maybe suitable for people with digestive disorders such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Artichoke also contains inulin, a prebiotic which slows down the rate at which the body digests food. This not only helps to control blood sugar levels after eating, but also provides nourishment for friendly bacteria, which are needed for the final breakdown of food in the large intestine.

Take up to 800mg of artichoke daily straight after a meal to promote healthy digestion and to balance blood sugar levels.
