2. Sinus Cleanser
Radishes are roots in the mustard family that
are available year round. Their flavor is somewhat mild but has a
peppery finish. The spiciness of the radish should help clear your
sinus passages without medication, which many providers recommend you
stay away from throughout pregnancy. And, while some spicy foods may
not agree with your sensitive stomach during pregnancy, radishes may
curb nausea in the first trimester by reducing the acid in your stomach.
YIELDS: 3⁄4 CUP
2 tomatoes
4 radishes
Juice tomatoes and radishes. Stir.
