Can white radish and carrots be eaten together?

Can white radish and carrots be eaten together?It may be that we often hear or discuss this question.However, the answer is that white radish and carrots cannot be eaten together.The reasons are as follows:

Although both white radishes and carrots have many benefits for the human body, they cannot be eaten together.This is due to their different characteristics.Studies have shown that white radishes have good digestive properties because they contain mustard oil and digestive enzymes and cellulose, of which cellulose is absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract and can also activate the activity of macrophages, improving the body's immunity;White radishes also contain a variety of enzymes that can eliminate carcinogenic substances and have an anticancer effect;The interferons contained in white radishes can stimulate the gastric mucosa to produce interferon, which has an antiviral effect and inhibits the proliferation of tumor cells.The above enzymes, cellulose, and interferons are all heat-sensitive and are destroyed at 70℃.

Therefore, to better play the digestive and anticancer effects of white radishes, it is best to eat them raw.As for carrots, the opposite is true. Carrots contain a lot of β-carotene, which can be converted into vitamin A in the human body.Vitamin A and β-carotene can promote the formation of light-sensitive pigments in the eyes, prevent night blindness, strengthen the ability to distinguish colors, and also improve eye fatigue and dry eyes.However, carrots cannot be absorbed when eaten raw, more than 70% of the carrots.Researchers have shown through repeated experiments that there are two main scientific ways to eat carrots: first, to cut carrots into pieces and season them, and then stew them with meat, preferably in a pressure cooker, to reduce the contact between carrots and air, so that the preservation rate of carrots can reach 97%;Second, cut carrots into slices and cook them with an adequate amount of edible oil, so that the absorption and utilization rate of carrots can reach 90%.

If you cook carrots and white radishes togetherCold saladOr cook them togetherCooking methods, it will cause one of the nutritional value of radishes to decrease.In addition, this cooking method will also induce "internal war", because white radishes contain a high amount of vitamin C, while carrots contain an enzyme that can decompose vitamin C in white radishes.

The two encounter, the vitamin C in white radish is greatly reduced, its nutritional value is also greatly reduced.

Therefore, white radishes and carrots cannot be eaten together.
