Cucumbers and tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant, pumpkins and squash, cabbage and onions - all this allows the housewife to delight her loved ones with a variety delicious dishes, which are also very useful. The bulk of the vegetables have already been harvested, and only root vegetables continue to show off in the garden beds, gaining sugar ripeness.

All of them are rich in vitamins and nutrients, necessary for the body person. But there is among the late autumn gifts unique vegetables. We will talk about them. These are beets and radishes.

Beetroot and its healing properties

Beetroot has been known to man since ancient times. Its first use (about 2000 BC) is associated not with fruits, but with succulent leaf petioles. Much later the root was also tried. Until now, wild beets are found along the coasts of the Black, Caspian and Mediterranean seas, in Iran, China and India. The ancient Greeks and Romans grew beets as a vegetable, eating both the fruit and the leaves soaked in wine. History knows the fact that the ancient Germans, conquered by the Roman emperor Tiberius, supplied tribute to Rome in the form of beets, which contributed to the spread of this vegetable in Europe. In Rus', beets became known already in the 10th century. thanks to connections with Byzantium.

Beetroot has healing properties, which the ancient Greeks and Romans knew about. It contains a lot of fiber, vitamins C, B1, B2, B6, iron, potassium, magnesium; phosphorus, silicon, boron, folic acid.

It is boiled on meat broth, with bacon, sausages, smoked meats. In addition to beets and cabbage, vegetables include carrots, onions, potatoes, and tomatoes. Borschts are very diverse, only Ukrainian borscht there are about forty options. It all depends on the availability of products and the imagination of the housewife.

Radish and ethnoscience

Radish can be a worthy competitor to beets. In ancient Greece, radishes were cast in gold as a gift to the god Apollo,
beets are made of silver, and carrots are made of bronze.

It is believed that the birthplace of radish is Egypt, where vegetable oil, which was very common in those days, was made from its seeds. From Egypt the radish came to Ancient Greece, and from there to Europe. It was brought to Russia from Asia and quickly became popular. Radish was used mainly in the preparation of turi and helped survive times of famine.

The ancient Egyptians gave workers building the pyramids a meal of radish and garlic, which gave them strength. The ancient Romans used radish as an antidote for mushroom poisoning.

Fruits of sweet varieties are in great demand. good Japanese radish- daikon, reaching large sizes (up to 16-17 kg).

Radish juice has an antiseptic effect. The list of advantages of this truly golden vegetable can be continued. And they provide it medicinal properties substances such as vitamin C, essential oil containing sulfur, rafanol and rafanin, butyl mustard oil and many others.

Unlike beets, radishes do not need to be subjected to culinary processing, it is used for spicy salads fresh, either grated or cut into pieces. In Russia, radish is less popular than beets. Obviously, this is due to its pungent smell and taste. Usually in salads, radishes are used with sour cream, which softens the taste.

Hello, dear readers. Now the weather outside is not stable, there are constant temperature changes. If two days ago our temperature was -18 degrees, today we have +3 degrees. Such changes cannot but affect our health. Some people have their joints twisted, others become susceptible to viral infections.
And as you know, it is in such weather that various viral infections are activated. Therefore, I am again turning to the topic of strengthening the immune system, and today we will have a recipe for a simple vitamin mixture, a mixture of radish juice and carrot juice.

All the ingredients are available, and they can provide good help, so to speak, they will help you avoid trips to the hospital and pharmacy. In addition to radishes and carrots, we will also add honey and lemon juice.

To prepare the vitamin mixture, take:

• one medium radish
• two large carrots
• 100 - 150 grams of honey
• two tablespoons lemon juice

To be honest, the recipe I used indicated radish, but it did not indicate which one. From my own experience, I know that there should be black radish, because we already wrote about it on the blog in the article: But in my refrigerator there was only Chinese green radish. It’s just that my daughter tries to eat the same thing as me, so we keep radishes that are not very bitter at home so that the child can at least eat one.

So I had to make this vitamin mixture from green radish juice, again in the hope that my daughter would also use it. We need to peel the carrots and radishes, then grate and squeeze. But if you have a juicer, it makes preparing the mixture easier.

I didn't take many photos of how I was rubbing and squeezing. I will just show the juice that has already been squeezed out, and integrate into the photo a small photograph where you can see that I squeeze the juice with my hands. The fact is that I don’t throw away the pressed cake, I make it into vitamin salad. I talked about the salad in the article

And especially for this, I squeezed the juice without fanaticism, so that a little more juice would remain in the salad. Otherwise, when it’s dry, it’s not as tasty. In total, I got 150 grams of juice each. I poured all the juice into one jar and added two tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Meanwhile, my daughter was already eating the salad, not even dressed. She knows about the benefits of bitter radish, and even more so, she doesn’t want to get sick.

Then I added one tablespoon of spring honey, May honey, so to speak, which is my favorite. It contains the nectar of the first spring flowers, and it is the most useful. Although there was only one spoon, you can see from the photograph that it was a third of the resulting juice. It turned out that I added 1/3 of radish juice, 1/3 of carrot juice, 1/3 of honey and two tablespoons of lemon juice.

At first, this mixture tasted like radish and lemon, but when it brewed, the taste became softer, you couldn’t hear the lemon, and a light sweetness. Now, with this vitamin mixture, I and my family are not afraid of temperature changes, because no viral infection can now survive in our bodies.

You should take this vitamin mixture twice a day on an empty stomach. Once in the morning, and the second before bed. I hope you don't eat before going to bed. Stir the mixture before use.

And if this mixture is not entirely convenient for you, maybe someone doesn’t like the smell of your breath after drinking a mixture of juices, because a radish is a radish, then I can suggest Alternative option from nuts and honey. You can see the recipe in the article: It is very tasty and healthy.
Well, we alternate vitamin mixtures, each will benefit. And I also hope that I will find out some more new recipe to strengthen the immune system, because we have a competition “Our Immunity” on our blog and I have special hopes for this competition.
Be healthy and don't get sick! And if you have another interesting vitamin mixture to strengthen the immune system, then please share it in the comments.

A glass of pomegranate juice a day can slow down the growth of malignant tumors in prostate cancer patients. This conclusion was reached by scientists from the University of California under the leadership of Allan Pantuck.
Pomegranate juice and its seeds are valuable food product, preserving all constituent elements fresh fruits, possessing pleasant taste and healing properties, easily absorbed by the body.

One glass of freshly squeezed juice, drunk in the morning on an empty stomach, will have a revitalizing effect on your body. It will give you a boost of energy for the whole day. You will feel more energetic and active. Useful material and great content nutrients– micro- and macroelements contained in the juice will help the functioning of the whole body, cleanse it, activate metabolism, relieve the effects of stress and fatigue, help the body restore strength and stock up on energy. Their use is useful for weakened people, recovering from illness, as well as children and adolescents.
But we must not forget that daily supplying the body with many vital necessary substances, a person can have good health provided that he pays Special attention on your thoughts and soul. We can eat the best and most constructive food, but it will not serve us well if fear, anxiety, resentment, envy and other negative emotions haunt us constantly.
Life and death cannot coexist at the same time, and this applies not only to the human body, but also to vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds. And where there is life, there are enzymes. It is for this reason that food must be wisely and properly selected and processed and consumed raw and unprocessed. If you consume enough fresh vegetable juices, the body will have enough enzymes or enzymes - an important component of food. Enzymes enable the body to nourish itself and replenish its energy resources. They are the very element that is contained in the seeds and sprouts of plants and forms the basis of life. It is known that enzymes are very sensitive to temperatures above 47 ° C. At more than 49 ° C they become as sluggish as the human body immersed in hot bath. At a temperature of 54° C, enzymes are destroyed. In seeds they are in a state of hibernation and, under favorable conditions, can retain their properties for hundreds and even thousands of years.

Food must be alive and include both various salts, organic and minerals, which are necessary for the restoration of cells and tissues of the body. To better understand the processes occurring in the body, it is necessary to know what elements it consists of. Today, thanks to the development of science, it has become possible to find out and analyze this. It is known that the most important are: Oxygen, Calcium, Sodium, Chlorine, Carbohydrate, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Fluorine, Hydrogen, Potassium, Iron, Silicon, Nitrogen, Sulfur, Iodine, Manganese. All processes associated with the restoration of body cells occur inside it. And if in the blood, cells and tissues of various organs the above elements are not contained in the required proportion, or for some reason they are not enough, then such an imbalance can lead to poisoning of the body. For example, oxygen, which is one of the essential elements, at high temperatures during cooking, it is almost completely lost, and after it, at 54 ° C, all enzymes are destroyed and most of the vital force necessary for nutrition is dissipated. When we eat foods that are not compatible with the needs and balance of our body, we cause ourselves some damage and, as a result, a warning in the form of pain and spasms gradually leading to any one of the countless diseases. This is a fair punishment for poor nutrition - nature’s retribution for violating its laws.
Juices are digested and absorbed by the body very quickly, sometimes within a few minutes, while the digestive system expends minimal energy. While it takes much more time and energy to digest solid food before its nutrients become available to the cells and tissues of the body. Nevertheless, the importance of fiber cannot be underestimated, since its value lies in the fact that it is like an internal broom that has a positive effect on intestinal prestalsis. Vegetables and fruits consist of large quantity fiber, between the cells of which are contained atoms and molecules of nutrients necessary for the body. It is thanks to these substances and the corresponding enzymes contained in juices that accelerated cell saturation occurs. When cooking food heat destroys her vitality and reduces to zero positive effect product. Then, passing through the intestines this product often leaves a significant layer of slag on its walls, which accumulates, rots and causes toxemia. As a result, the large intestine becomes sluggish, distorted, with a tendency to colitis, diverticulosis and other disorders. Juices extracted from fresh raw vegetables and fruits are best able to provide the cells and tissues of the body with all the necessary elements and enzymes that they need in the most accessible form for absorption.

Fruit juices are a cleanser human body , but the fruit must be ripe. With few exceptions, they should not be eaten with foods containing starch and sugar. A sufficient variety of fruits provides the body with all the necessary carbohydrates and sugars.
