4. Chinese radish

According to TCM, Chinese radish is neutral in character, slightly pungent and sweet in flavor. It can promote a better appetite and digestion, eliminate toxin, resolve phlegm, clear heat, and regulate Qi movement. There is an old Chinese saying, "eating Chinese radish in winter and ginger in summer can ensure health all the year round".
