So autumn has crept up imperceptibly with slush, when it is so easy to get your feet wet. And as soon as you get your feet wet, the throat begins to sore, the temperature rises, and weakness appears throughout the body. It's time to attract natural helpers to protect our bodies from germs and infections. One of these helpers is our old friend - radish

The value of the radish

The value of the radish is given by the enzymes contained in all parts of the plant. This is a black (white, red or purple) root vegetable, and leaves, and flowers, and pods in the company of seeds.

Getting into the human body from dishes with radish, these enzymes stimulate the digestion process, activate metabolism, helping to remove harmful substances.

Radish has phytoncidal properties, that is, like onions, garlic and other plants, it inhibits the growth of bacteria and other protozoan pests of the human body, or even affects them outright.

Due to its sharp specific taste, radish is widely used in food, adding it to many dishes to add piquancy, and also eat radish with salt and black bread, or with kvass.

Traditional medicine is very actively using the healing properties of the radish. It is a diuretic and lactiferous agent; radish helps to remove kidney stones; it is recommended to use it for gout.

It is not for nothing that people say that radish loves to boast about how good it is when paired with honey. Indeed, such a union helps to cope with a cold cough, catarrh of the upper respiratory tract, bronchitis.

Radish juice is also used for medicinal purposes. It is used as an expectorant and anthelmintic.

Contraindications: the radish is not recommended for people with digestive problems such as stomach and duodenal ulcers; gastritis with increased acidity of gastric juice. And also to those who recently suffered a heart attack.

Types of radish

• White radish - the hottest in taste. This is what they mean when they talk about something or someone that they are much worse than even the most bitter radish in the world.

• Black radish - also has a spicy taste. It is most often used for medicinal purposes.

• Green radish - helps the nervous system, vision, regulates metabolism, restores immunity.

• Chinese radish (forehead or lobo) - The lobo root crop grows two-thirds of its height above the soil surface, making it easy to pull it out of the ground. The plant is sensitive to the length of the day, relatively drought-resistant and cold-resistant. In the northwestern zone of our country, Chinese radish is sown in early spring, or after July 20. At other dates, for example, in May, the plant shoots without forming a root crop. The root vegetable can be white, dark green or red. It is inferior in sharpness to our radish varieties.

• Japanese radish (daikon) - a long white root vegetable with a mild taste is not a rarity in our beds for a long time.

Use

A simple vitamin salad made from spicy radish varieties is very easy to prepare. To do this, you need to rub the root vegetable on a grater, add salt to taste, season with sunflower or olive oil and serve with rye Borodino bread. It will help to defeat colds and viruses, to raise the general tone of the body.

You can add radish to other vegetable salads. Some marinate it, stew it with meat, cook a soup with slices of toasted radish.

To get radish juice for cough treatment, honey is used to help. A depression is made in the black radish, in which honey is placed. Honey has the ability to extract its spicy healing juice from the radish. Taking such juice in a tablespoon 40 minutes before meals, you can very quickly cope with a suffocating cough. If honey is not available, you can replace it with sugar.
