Nutritional value of radish and ginger

The efficacy and function of radish

Radish is neutral in nature, spicy and sweet in taste, and enters the spleen and stomach meridians

It has the effects of eliminating stagnation, resolving phlegm and relieving cough, relieving qi and relieving fullness, and detoxification.

It is mainly used to treat food stagnation, phlegm, cough, aphonia, vomiting blood, epistaxis, thirst, dysentery, migraine, etc.

How to eat radish: Eat 30g of radish before going to bed every night, which can help digestion, clear away heat and detoxify. It can also prolong life.

Eating radish promotes calcium absorption

As the saying goes, "Eat radishes in winter and ginger in summer, and you won't need a doctor to prescribe medicine."

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that radish can help digestion, resolve phlegm and relieve asthma, clear away heat and relieve qi, and reduce swelling and dissipate blood stasis. Most children experience upper respiratory tract infection symptoms such as dry throat and sore throat, repeated coughing, and phlegm that is difficult to spit out when they catch a cold. Eating more crisp, delicious, and tender radish can not only stimulate appetite and aid digestion, but also nourish the throat, resolve phlegm and relieve qi, and effectively prevent colds.

In addition, radish has high nutritional value, rich in carbohydrates and multiple vitamins, among which the content of vitamin C is 8 to 10 times higher than that of pear. Radish does not contain oxalic acid, which not only will not combine with calcium in food, but also is more conducive to calcium absorption.

Recent studies have shown that the fiber lignin contained in radish has a strong anti-cancer effect, and the effect is better when eaten raw. For young children who are afraid of spicy food, it is best to choose radishes that are green, rich in water, light in spiciness, and heavy in sweetness.

When parents feed their children radishes, it is best to cut the radish vertically so that the head, waist and tail are balanced. As the saying goes, "The head of the radish is spicy, the butt is dry, and the waist is just right." This is because the nutrients contained in different parts of the radish are different. If the child is very afraid of spicy food, you can peel the radish, cut the radish into strips or slices and dip it in sugar, or make it into radish dipped in vinegar or radish bone stew, so that the child will like it.
