Set the Table with Love

Veggie Soup international

—

,

I am doing a little fall detox. I like to use soup and broths during these times, so today I made a veggie soup but pulled from some international favorites. This soup is loaded with nutrition and flavor. The ingredients I used are packed with vitamin C, antioxidants, beta-carotene, zinc, iron and many more. But the one think I am blown away with is this root veggie, Daikon.

Daikon is a Japanese radish that is eaten raw, shredded, stir fried, and even juiced. But the healing benefits is what got my attention. Daikon has the ability to help remove excess fat and protein from the body when you mix grated daikon with a small amount of soy sauce. Also a tea is made with daikon, shitake mushrooms and seaweed (kombu) this tea is known to lower fever and fight infection.

But the coolest thing about this radish is the fact that there are enzymes found in daikon which has the ability to slow down the production of nitrosamine, a carcinogen found in the chemicals of many processed foods. Nitrosamine attacks our gut, but daikon is used to combat nitrosamine’s effects.

So next time you are shopping look for this little healing radish. Remember to set the table with love.

● About Me

Hi, I am Lisa. I am learning every day how to love up on this beautiful gift of living, cherishing each moment as it comes. Especially because at 38 I was dying, and now I am 55 years old, I have gained a deeper appreciation for life’s simple pleasures. I’m married to my wonderful husband of 30 years, who not only supports me through thick and thin but has also selflessly served as my kidney donor, a true testament to his love and commitment. Together, we have raised two incredible kids, aged 38 and 25, and I delight in watching them thrive. Our family has expanded beautifully with two grandkids who fill our lives with joy, a lovely daughter-in-law who has seamlessly joined our family, and a grand fur baby who adds warmth to our home. Here you will find life, food, and how I set the table with love for myself, my friends, and my family, creating cherished memories around meals that go beyond nourishment. I hope it inspires you to love up on your life a bit more and encourage you to surround your table with love, laughter, and the people you hold dear. We get one go at this precious journey, so let’s make it something deliciously beautiful, savoring each bite along the way. Thanks for stopping by; your presence adds to the warmth of this shared experience.
