Health Benefits : Radishes

[mysteriouza]

Radishes belong to the crucifer family, valuable for those at risk from cancer.
But it is for problems of the liver and gall bladder that traditional medicine has most warmly recommended them.
Radish juice acts powerfully on the gall bladder, stimulating the discharge of bile.


Radishes contain other good things, plenty of potassium, calcium and sulfur, as well as some vitamin A and B complex.


Radishes should be eaten as fresh as possible, while still young and crisp, their tops eaten at the same time, which aids the digestion of the vegetable.

However, beware of overindulging, too much hot stinging radish can irritate rather than stimulate the liver, kidneys and gall bladder.
