Daikon Radish - Tucson Acupuncture - American Health Acupuncture
My health is more precious than gold. So for me, preventative health care is where I spend my money. It’s a lot more fun feeling good all the time. It’s really a choice and a priority that one makes in life.
One has to eat to stay alive, right? This food is a gem! We have so much fun introducing new foods to our diet. Once again, we’ve been shopping at Lee Lee Supermarket in Tucson. We have found so many new healing foods in the fresh produce dept. Today, I am talking about Daikon Radish. WE bought it to put with other vegetables in a beef bone stew.
I went online to get the facts about Daikon radish. The first one is the website devoted entirely to this vegetable! Click here for the website: http://daikonradish.com/ they talk about its anti-cancer benefits as well as the nutrition facts. Click here for the nutrition info.
Googleing more…I found information about using it for detoxifying your body and eating it with other foods or supplements at the same time. This gives you a double whammy of healing and protection. All this power in one little root! Wow! Here’s just a little excerpt of the information from this other Website source:
Daikon also detoxifies smoked or grilled meat or fish. The amino acid cysteine in the radish traps formaldehyde in the meat or fish to form thioproline, which by itself is a carcinogenic chemical. The form of thioproline made with the amino acids in daikon radish, however, never enters the body because it is excreted in the urine. Japanese nutritionists have found that eating daikon (or other Japanese vegetables) with cod increases the elimination of cancer-causing thiroproline over 15-fold. Click here to see entire article.
We have everything we need on this planet to heal and keep ourselves healthy in all the plants that are provided for us. My question is “Why don’t more people eat for health to prevent being sick?”
