Radish for Thyroid Regulation




Did you know that Radish are said to be one of the most beneficial vegetables for regulation of the thyroid? Radish contain "Raphanin" (a sulfur) which is responsible for balancing the body's production of thyroxine and calcitonin. With enough radish juice the thyroid won't under or over produce these hormones (good news for people with Hashimotos.)

I'm on day 9 of my juice feast and have been juicing a good number of radish daily. I'm not sure if it is the radish juice or just the fact that I'm giving my body a rest but, I'm feeling pretty stable energy wise.
