What ginger is to Asian cuisine, horseradish should be to European cuisine. Horseradish is just as healthy, rich in minerals and vitamins. Take a look at 7 reasons why you should eat horseradish at least once a week.

1. The white root of horseradish boosts the immune system. It contains a lot of vitamin C, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. The entire B vitamin complex is also very important. Horseradish protects against colds, flu, and inflammation.

2. The spicy taste of horseradish comes from the glycoside sinigrin, which opens the airways and helps with sinus illnesses. Additionally, this substance repels pests, so it is recommended to plant horseradish next to potatoes. Such horseradish is also less spicy but just as healthy.

3. A natural antibiotic and preservative. Horseradish is extremely effective at preventing the growth of bacteria and destroys all kinds of viruses.

4. Horseradish detoxifies, stimulates liver function, and speeds up digestion. Because of horseradish, toxins leave the body more quickly.

5. It speeds up intestinal function and strengthens the intestinal flora. Horseradish is especially important if you eat a lot of fatty and salty foods, as it neutralizes harmful substances. Unfortunately, Easter is not the only day when we eat more than we should.

6. Against muscle stiffness. Horseradish relieves rheumatic pain, increases joint mobility, and helps with headaches... It's enough to press a horseradish slice on your temples for a few minutes, and the headache will disappear in moments.

7. Horseradish is a guardian of the heart, stimulates circulation, cleanses the blood vessels, and thus prevents heart and vascular diseases.
