How Can This Ayurvedic Recipe Make You Feel Great?AYURVEDIC ANALYSISRadishes & Fat MetabolismBy stimulating the flow of bile, radishes are a useful tool for fat digestion, decongesting the gall bladder, and cleansing of both the liver and the blood. They have also been used to break up gallstones and kidney stones.Radishes and Blood PressureRadishes are high in potassium which is helps keep blood pressure at safe levels. Potassium lowers blood pressure because its effects are opposite of those of sodium. Salt, which is sodium based, increases water retention. Potassium, on the other hand, is a diuretic that flushes water from the body. The National Institute of Health DASH Diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) recommends increasing potassium, calcium, and magnesium to keep blood pressure at healthy levels.Raw radish strongly provokes Pitta in the digestive tract. It clears food stagnation and has a laxative effect due to its diuretic nature, all while having a cooling effect on the blood. Vata individuals be warned, radishes may be difficult to digest and create gas for your dosha. Raw brassicas like radish contain chemicals that can block thyroid function called goitrogens. These chemicals are easily inactivated by steaming or cooking. WHAT IS HONEY MUSTARD RADISHES?WHY EAT AN AYURVEDIC DIET?Eating Ayurvedically makes you feel nourished and energized.
