Can carrots prevent cancer?

The incidence of major diseases is too high nowadays, including many types of cancer. I heard that white radish can prevent cancer, so come and take a look.

Radish prevents cancer

Most people think that radish is a winter vegetable, but in fact, different radishes are cultivated according to different seasons, such as spring radishes, summer radishes, and autumn and winter radishes. People can enjoy the deliciousness and nutrition brought by radishes all year round.

The spicy ingredients in radish can inhibit abnormal cell division and thus prevent cancer. Radish also has antibacterial, appetite-enhancing and platelet-inhibiting effects. Radish contains a lot of dietary fiber and amylolytic enzymes, which can effectively promote food digestion and absorption. In addition, radish also contains a lot of vitamin C, especially the vitamin C content in radish skin is twice that of radish core.

Nutritional content of radish

It contains more vitamin C and a large amount of vitamin A than radish, and also contains vitamins B1, B2, calcium, sodium, phosphorus and iron.

Eating fresh radish has a good therapeutic effect, and even if it is dried, it is a universal medicine. Dried radish still contains a lot of vitamin B1, calcium and iron, which can supplement dietary fiber and minerals for the human body.

Generally speaking, young radishes have more spicy components than old radishes, and the spiciness will decrease as the growth process progresses. Radishes grown in high temperature environments will also have more spicy components, and summer radishes are spicier than winter radishes.

It should be noted that the vitamin C contained in radish is easily oxidized once it comes into contact with air. After peeling the radish, the vitamin C will be oxidized by 20% after 20 minutes, and the vitamin C content will be only half after 2 hours. Therefore, when cooking, it is best to peel the radish last, and eat it immediately after peeling to ensure that the vitamin C is not lost.

Peeling carrots scientifically

The way to peel radish is also worth mentioning. Generally, people peel radish vertically, but such strong linear peeling can easily damage the cells in the radish, making the radish particularly spicy. The correct way is to peel it in circles like peeling an apple, which can effectively suppress the spicy taste of the radish and make the cooked dishes more refreshing and delicious.
