Japanese scientists from the research company "Kagome" have proven that turnips can protect us from influenza viruses.
Experts have found that the bacteria in pickled turnips, which is a very popular dish in Japan, stimulates immunity and fights influenza viruses.
For the purpose of the experiments, a probiotic drink was created, which contained the powerful bacterium.
The drink has only been tested on mice, but experts hope to launch tests on humans soon.
If the beneficial effect of the bacterium is confirmed, it is likely that a large number of human lives will be saved.
The researchers found that the bacterium Lactobacillus brevis in pickled turnips protected laboratory mice exposed to influenza viruses.
Tests have shown that the bacterium has stimulated the production of immune molecules and specific influenza antibodies.
The effect on rodents was so strong that it was able to prevent infection with the highly contagious H1N1 strain of swine flu.
Scientists believe that in the same way it will be able to provide protection against the deadly new strain of Chinese bird flu, H7N9, which first appeared in humans earlier this year.
According to the authors of the study, the consumption of the probiotic drink for 14 days before a viral infection will alleviate the symptoms of the disease and will prevent weight loss and deterioration of health.
Turnip juice is also used as a proven means of improving bile secretion.
This juice also has a healing effect on anorexia, anemia, recovery from fatigue or illness to boost the immune system.
Turnip juice can be consumed in diabetes without any side effects for the patient, but it should be in moderation and the turnip should be combined with grated carrots.
Turnips are very rich in enzymes and vitamins, and black turnips contain 3 times more than white.
You can also eat turnips to lose weight, as long as you eat it in limited quantities.
