The effects of white radish leaves on bones and joints.

According to the Urban Economic Newspaper, Dr. Nguyen Van Thai (a specialist in oncology and cosmetic surgery, working in Hanoi) said that eating white radish leaves is as beneficial as ginseng, but many Vietnamese people often throw them away.

Radishes are very nutritious, but most of us only use the root and discard the green leaves. "Few people know that the leaves of white radishes are a treasure trove of nutrients, containing a high amount of calcium. Modern medical research shows that every 100g of white radish leaves contains up to 350g of calcium," the expert revealed.

Furthermore, white radish leaves are very rich in vitamin K, which is essential for bone formation and helps supplement calcium more effectively. It is known as "natural calcium." That's why eating white radish leaves regularly is extremely effective in preventing osteoporosis. This is a very important food for women after childbirth.
