healthy food : Radish Cancer Cure
Radishes are an excellent source of vitamin C and are rich in minerals like sulphur, iron, and iodine. Radish shoots were estimated to have approximately 20 times the anti-cancer potential of roots.
Throughout history radishes have been effective when used as a medicinal food for liver disorders. They contain a variety of sulfur-based chemicals that increase the flow of bile. Therefore, they help to maintain a healthy gallbladder, liver, and improve digestion.
Radishes are known to help prevent the body from developing cancer due to the high amount of antioxidants that they contain. There is not a whole lot of research that has been done in regards to the specific types of cancer that radishes prevent the body from developing. However, it is believed that radishes mainly aid the prevention of colon, breast, and prostate cancer. It can also help cure many types of cancer, particularly those of colon, kidney, intestines, stomach, and oral cancer.
Numerous studies suggest that brassica vegetables (abbage, kale, broccolli, radish, and brussels sprouts) are protective against cancers of the lungs and alimentary tract. Brassica vegetables appear to reduce the risk of some cancers by preventing the formation of carcinogens in the body or by blocking cancer-causing substances from reaching or reacting with sensitive body tissues or by inhibiting the transformation of healthy cells to malignant ones.
The Daikon, oriental radish, is one of the most researched type of radish regarding cancer. The Spanish Black Radish, on the other hand, is grown for medical purposes rather than for food.
