Radishes stimulate the liver, improve elimination, cleanse/detoxify the system which leads to permanent weigh loss.

Reasons to eat radishes to look fabulous.

Radishes are the most beautifying of all foods. They rejuvenate the skin because of high sulfur and silicon and vitamin C content, which make our skin glow. The sulfurous mustard oil in radishes stimulates the circulation system which makes the skin look radiant.

Signs of a Silicon deficiency:

poor skin quality, brittle nails and hair, dental cavities, atherosclerosis, lung disorders.

Signs of Sulfur deficiency:

acne, arthritis, brittle hair and nails, immune dysfunction, memory loss, rashes, slow wound healing, etc.

To eliminate gas sulfur-rich foods should be eaten with salty vegetables, such as seaweeds. More on beautifying foods you can find in Eating for Beauty by David Wolfe.

Breathe, smile and be happy.
