However, for white radish to have good effects on the lungs, housewives need to process it properly, at the right time but still in accordance with the taste of family members.
White radish is cool in nature, lightly spicy in taste, helps clear the lungs, reduce phlegm and supports cleaning the respiratory tract. In cold weather, the lungs are often invaded by "evil spirits", causing cough, a lot of phlegm or shortness of breath.
The natural sulfur compounds in white radish have mild antibacterial effects, helping to reduce inflammation and support lung mucosa protection. Therefore, adding white radish to cold meals can help the lungs work better.
Regarding eating habits, it is advisable to prioritize processing white radish in a cooked form instead of eating it raw in cold weather. Housewives can prepare dishes such as cooked white radish with stewing, cooking soup or steaming to reduce coldness, helping the body absorb easily and avoid causing abdominal cold. Dishes such as bone-chipped radish soup, ginger-chipped radish soup or radish cooked with lean meat are also good choices because they are not only nutritious but also have the effect of warming the lungs, reducing coughs and effectively reducing phlegm.
A note in cooking that housewives should take advantage of because it is good for the lungs in cold weather. It is to combine white radishes with warm spices. For example, ginger, onions, garlic or pepper help balance the coolness of radishes, while increasing the ability to warm the body and protect the respiratory tract. This combination is especially suitable for people who often cough from the cold or are susceptible to colds when the weather changes.
The time to eat white radish is also important. You should eat it at lunch or dinner early, avoid eating too late at night because it can cause cold stomachs and affect the digestive system. You should only use 2-3 times a week with a moderate amount, do not eat too much in a day.
To make white radish really good for the lungs, it is necessary to combine it with a healthy lifestyle such as keeping the body warm, drinking enough warm water and limiting inhaling dust in cold weather.
