Mooli Benefits for Type 2 Diabetes

A root vegetable that comes in a variety of colours—white and pink being the most prominent—the radish, or muli or mooli, as it is known in India, has been cultivated and consumed in Asia since centuries. It's distinctive peppery, pungent flavor makes it a popular ingredient in salads, and soups. It can be enjoyed raw, pickled, or eaten as a vegetable. 

Reduces Risk of Cancer

Radishes—regardless of color—contain a high level of phytochemicals and anthocyanins. These are prized for their anti-carcinogenic properties. In addition, Vitamin C in radish acts as a powerful antioxidant to prevent free radical damage to the DNA inside the cells, thus helping reduce the risks associated with some cancers.

Potassium in the radish give it anti-hypertensive properties that enable it to control high blood pressure. Potassium is necessary for the body to regulate the sodium-potassium balance in the body. This is necessary for normal BP to be maintained.

3. Provides anti-diabetic nutrition

With a rating of 32, the radish’s GI ranking falls in the low category. It is also high in fiber. These qualities make it the ideal food for diabetics, as the low GI means slow blood sugar absorption and the high fiber further slows this down. Radishes are also low in carbs—a single serving of about half a cup, contains just 2 grams of carbs!

4. Detoxes the liver

Eating radish regularly helps flush out toxins from the liver. It regulates the amount of bilirubin in the blood and increases the oxygen supply within the body, which reduces the destruction of red blood cells caused by jaundice.
