Sudden changes in temperature, wind, rain, are inevitable conditions that with the arrival of the autumn and winter season, put a strain on our immune system. And here comes the first annoying ailments on time: cough, sore throat, cold and flu.
To prevent and defend against contagion, it is good to follow simple but fundamental rules. Avoid closed environments and crowded places, always wash your hands, provide the vaccine for people at risk, cover your mouth and nose during a sneeze or cough.
Not only oranges but also this small vegetable boosts the immune system and protects against the flu
Together with the attention described above, it is also essential to follow a healthy and balanced diet, rich in fruit and vegetables, to strengthen and strengthen the defenses of our body. In fact, here’s what to sow now in the garden to fill up on vitamin C in the fall.
Today at ProiezionidiBorsa we want to talk about a small vegetable that we use above all for its root. Red in color, with a crunchy texture and a pungent and spicy flavor: radishes.
The radishes that we find in Italy are small in size, contain a lot of water and have very few calories (approximately 16 calories per 100 grams). They are perfect to consume during the diet, because they are rich in fiber and quickly satiate.
A small root that boasts many therapeutic and medicinal properties. Radishes are diuretics, purify the body and promote muscle relaxation.
They are an excellent source of vitamin C which strengthens the body’s defenses and consequently helps the immune system to fight bacteria and inflammation.
The infusion or decoction of radish was used as a natural remedy by our grandmothers, to relieve cough symptoms, protect the respiratory tract and lower fever.
But how can we eat this root
We have seen that not only oranges but also this little vegetable boosts the immune system and protects against flu.
Radishes in Italy are mainly consumed raw. We always make sure that the leaves are a beautiful bright green color and that they do not appear withered.
There are tons of ways to enjoy radishes. We can cut them in half to enrich the vegetables of the pinzimonio, or they are perfect for giving a spicy taste to salads.
Let’s remember that they are low-calorie foods and therefore suitable as a snack to break hunger.
Few people know, however, that radishes are delicious even when cooked. For example, we can fry them or cook them in a pan to season pasta and rice.
