Dieting and weight loss is hard for the most of us. For most of us, our bodies are programmed to retain fat for survival. The history behind this is that the human beings were evolved to be surviving machines, and over the history of mankind, food was something that was scarce and it took a lot of energy to acquire. In the harsher past, if you did not have the genes that retained and held on to fat for dear life, it could have meant death. But within a short period of time, mankind has become very efficient at making and maintaining a steady supply of food. So in today’s world we have the genetics that hold onto fat for dear life, instinctual cravings for sugary and high fatty foods, and high supply of sugary and fatty foods, no wonder obesity is such a pandemic. It’s hard to escape from all the fast food, sugary drinks, fructose corn syrup and snacks. Even our restaurant entrees usually are loaded with butter and fat.
Everyone knows that eating your vegetables are good for your health. One particular vegetable I’ll be focusing on is alcachofa (artichoke), and more importantly, the artichoke extract. The artichoke has one of the highest amounts of antioxidants found in vegetables. Everyone knows that antioxidants are good for you. The oxidization of molecules can lead to cancer causing free radicals, and antioxidants help fight against that. The active ingredients in this great and healthy vegetable also help promote liver and kidney functions. This helps with stomach ailments because it helps to digest fat effectively. Artichoke is also known for its cleansing and weight loss properties. Diet and exercise combined with artichoke extract can help. Sometimes when you lose fat, your body doesn’t show it. This is because of water retention in the skin. Dieters can get frustrated with this because for all the hard work they put in, they can’t visually see the results. Artichoke extract can help fight against water retention and reveal your progress.

You can find many artichoke extract products online, but the ones that are alcachofa blends are much more effective because they are combination of many ingredients known for their health properties. Alcachofa diet products are available in pill form, capsule form, as well as vial form known as ampolletas de alcachofa .
