White radish can not only stimulate appetite, help digestion, dissipate phlegm and generate fluid, but also play the role of anti-virus and anti-cancer. It is also worth mentioning cauliflower. breast cancer has always been a high incidence of cancer. Don't think breast cancer is just a patent of women.

According to nutritionists, it contains 2.2 grams of protein, 160 mg of calcium, 6 mg of phosphorus, 8.5 mg of iron, as well as carotene, vitamin C, vitamin B1, etc. per 100 grams of celery. Among them, the protein content is twice higher than that of ordinary fruits and vegetables, and the calcium and iron content is 20 times higher than that of tomatoes. Celery is rich in cellulose, but also contains a volatile oil, which can improve people's appetite, Stimulate gastric acid secretion, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, and promote blood circulation.

Compared with tomato, the content of protein and calcium in eggplant is 3.8 times and 2.75 times higher than that in tomato, respectively. The difference between eggplant and other vegetables is that it contains higher vitamin P in natural foods. Vitamin P is one of the 14 essential vitamins for human body.
