Every time after a holiday, I gain three pounds, especially during the Spring Festival. After happily celebrating the Spring Festival, we start to worry about our weight. So, I recommend pickled radish with white rice vinegar to help you lose weight successfully!

Pickled Radish with White Rice Vinegar
[Ingredients]
1 white radish, salt, peppercorn, white rice vinegar, as needed
1. Wash the white radish and cut it into thin slices.
2. Take a sealable container with a lid, such as a bowl or box, or a glass jar. Place all the ingredients together and pour in equal amounts of white rice vinegar and cold water.
3. Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator. It can be eaten after 24 hours.
[Benefits]
1. Treats vomiting: 100g of white radish leaves. Crush the white radish leaves and extract the juice, then drink it with boiling water. It can treat vomiting caused by typhoid fever or indigestion.
2. Treats bloating and stomach pain: 20-30g of dried radish leaves. Cut the dried radish leaves into small pieces and brew them with boiling water, cover and let it steep for 15 minutes, then drink it as tea. You can also add 30g of hawthorn to cook together and drink it as tea.
It helps with digestion, stimulates the appetite, and stops diarrhea. It is mainly used to treat chest pain and fullness, belching, sour regurgitation, and diarrhea caused by indigestion. People with weak Qi and blood deficiency should avoid or consume it in moderation.
3. Treats hemorrhoids, anal itching, and genital eczema for both men and women: 1500g of vinegar, 150g of dried radish sprouts. Boil the vinegar and dried radish sprouts in a pot (heat it to 70°C when using it again), pour the vinegar and radish sprouts into an enamel basin, and let it cool slightly. The patient can squat on the basin for fumigation and cleaning.
The next day, reheat the original vinegar and radish sprouts for fumigation. Fumigate once before bedtime every day, and replace the vinegar and radish sprouts every 4-5 days.
[Tips]
It must be white rice vinegar, white vinegar cannot be substituted. The former has a better taste as it is made from rice. In hot weather, store it in the refrigerator; in cold weather, it can be placed outside. I do not recommend adding wild pepper when pickling, as it affects the sweet and sour taste when eating. When tasting, if the taste is too sour or salty, you can add some rock sugar and pickle it again. It tastes delicious.
[Weight Loss Benefits of Radish Leaves]
The nutritional content of radish leaves is astonishingly high. It contains more vitamin A than animal liver, better vitamin B complex than soybeans and milk, and a higher vitamin C content than citrus fruits. Moreover, it is extremely low in calories, making it a burden-free food to consume.
