Radish Soup

Introduction:

Radish is a very health vegetable which has been cherished by the Chinese people for hundreds of years. In China, this special vegetable has been looked on as second to Ginseng which is a herb that nurtures the human body for patients and healthy people.

The rich content of Vitamin C and Zinc, white radish can improve our immune system and our resistance for diseases.

The mustard oil contained in white radish can also increase our gastrointestinal motility and help with our digestion.

It also contains amylase which help with the discomposition of starch and fats, making them easier to be absorbed by the human body.

The lignin contained improves the activity of the macrophage which swallows cancer cells. So eating radish often can prevent cancers.
