2. Vitamin A, or retinol. It is very important for the retina of the eyes (from the Latin “retina” - retina). Without retinol, normal functioning of the mucous membranes and respiratory apparatus is impossible; it builds immunity and helps fight infections.

There is quite a lot of ascorbic acid in radish. Vitamin C helps in the production of collagen, a protein found in almost all body tissues. Without ascorbic acid, wounds heal slowly, cartilage and teeth are destroyed, and gums bleed. It is also an important antioxidant and a participant in immune reactions.

• Niacin – is part of enzymes, ensures the functioning of the digestive organs and nervous system
• Pyridoxine - responsible for human growth, for the prevention of depression, hormone production, hemoglobin production

Without calcium, there will be problems in the blood coagulation system, in the transmission of nerve impulses, and vitamin D will not be absorbed normally.

Potassium, which is also abundant in vegetables, is responsible for regulating the functioning of the heart and helps transmit nerve impulses. Manganese stimulates cell renewal, magnesium regulates muscle excitability and energy metabolism. Sodium is a participant in the formation of osmotic pressure, copper is part of enzymes and hormones. IN small quantities Chlorine and sulfur have been identified in radish - they protect the body from infections, stimulate respiration, reproductive function, and regulate blood sugar.

What else is in radish?
