Labanos (Radish)

Here are some surprising health benefits of radish:

–Aids in Digestion

Radishes are rich in fiber which can add considerable bulk (and regularity) to bowel movements that may help relieve the symptoms of constipation.

–Prevents Piles

Radishes are considered to have roughage and are composed of indigestible carbohydrates (specifically lignin, a type of insoluble fiber). This facilitates digestion, water retention, and alleviates constipation, which is one of the major causes of piles also referred to as hemorrhoids. As a good detoxifier, they help relieve the symptoms of piles very quickly. Radish juice also soothes the digestive and excretory system, further relieving the symptoms of piles.

–Anticancer Properties

Since radishes are detoxifiers and are rich in vitamin C, folic acid, and anthocyanins, they have been linked with having a protective effect against some type of cancers, particularly colon, kidney, intestinal, stomach, and oral cancer.

–Urinary Disorders

Radishes are diuretic in nature, which means that they increase the production of urine. Radish juice also helps reduce inflammation and may relieve the burning sensation during urination. It may also inhibit infections in the kidneys and urinary system, thus helping the treatment of various urinary conditions that are exacerbated by excess toxins in the system.

–Improves Cardiovascular Health

Radishes are a great source of anthocyanins, a flavonoid, which not only give color to radishes but also provide numerous health benefits. Anthocyanins have been the subject of numerous medical studies, and have been positively associated with reducing the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases.

–Relieves Respiratory Disorders

Radishes are an anti-congestive, meaning that they decrease congestion of the respiratory system including irritation of the nose, throat, windpipe, and lungs that can come from colds, infections, allergies, and other causes. They are a great disinfectant and are rich in vitamins, which further protects the respiratory system.

–Skin Care

Vitamin C, zinc, and some members of the vitamin-B family, present in radishes are good for the skin. The high water content in radishes also helps to maintain healthy moisture levels and hydration of the skin. Due to its disinfectant properties, radishes also help clear up skin disorders like dry skin, rashes, and cracks while the presence of niacin helps prevent the skin condition pellagra.

–Protects Kidneys

Radishes are thought to act as a diuretic, cleanser, and disinfectant which can aid in relieving symptoms of kidney ailments. They are low in potassium and phosphorus and may make a great choice for patients on hemodialysis.
