Artichokes are frequently cited as a superfood, in part because of their high levels of antioxidants. Studies show a number of proven and potential health benefits of artichokes.
High blood pressure, or hypertension, can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. One study showed that artichoke leaf juice helped regulate blood pressure for people with mild high blood pressure. Though studies are still in their early stages, researchers believe that the high levels of potassium in artichokes may be a contributing factor to this effect.
