At the same time, radishes are 93% water, making them a low-calorie product (20 kcal per 100 grams).
Radish should be included in the diet of those who want to lose weight, normalize the digestive tract, lower blood pressure, strengthen the nervous system and immunity.
This healthy product also has contraindications: individual intolerance and exacerbation of diseases of the pancreas, liver and gastrointestinal tract.
To get the most benefit, radish should be eaten raw. It can be combined with almost anything: protein products (meat, fish), carbohydrates (cereals, potatoes), any vegetables.
It is recommended to season radish salads with sour cream, it reduces the irritating effect on the mucous membrane. Vegetable oil is also a good option.
