Radish, the high pran (life) energy food of winter

Overweight and feeling hungry, better to prefer Radish to Chicken!

Good to eat with salt if have pain, piles and heart problems. Good to eat with sugar (sakar) if have Acdt (amlapitta). If eaten before meal, it increases pitta and burning sensation; but if eaten with meal, gives strength.
