Horseradish - a source of antioxidants

In our bodies, there are always many chemical reactions occurring that are associated with the production of reactive forms of oxygen, also known as free radicals. Although they are a natural component of the body, in excess they are harmful and lead to a variety of disorders such as autoimmune diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular disease, digestive and respiratory system disorders, and even cancer. An excess of free radicals is counteracted by specific substances, namely antioxidants. In a normally functioning body, there is a balance between the amount of free radicals and antioxidants. Disruption of this balance is called oxidative stress. Nowadays, this balance is often disrupted, leading to an excess of free radicals compared to antioxidants. This is due to high environmental pollution, highly processed foods in the diet, and high levels of stress that a person is exposed to every day. Therefore, it is so important that the daily diet is rich in antioxidants, and horseradish is one such source. Horseradish contains many strong antioxidants such as vitamin C, peroxidase, or kaempferol.

Horseradish - health benefits

Horseradish is characterized by the presence of numerous health-promoting properties. It demonstrates antibacterial and antioxidant efficacy. It stimulates appetite and facilitates the digestion of meals. Thanks to the presence of kemferol, it has anti-inflammatory, anticancer, neuroprotective, and cardioprotective effects. Horseradish peroxidase, which is isolated from horseradish, finds extensive application in medicine, including cancer treatment. Horseradish is also a natural agent with antibiotic properties. It is particularly effective in treating respiratory diseases. In Ayurvedic medicine, it is further utilized in the wound healing process.
