Some friends objected to my idea about these root foods, being beneficial against the viruses (like the Coronavirus): they said: this is not scientific.
I answered them:
This is what I think; I will not swear for it, but I think it is logical.
I am not in a position to give figures and data; If I work in a hospital and have my ward and patients: I may divide them into two groups: to one group I give such food, and to the other I don't .. then I observe the result of such work: which of the two groups get better.
But in my situation: I find it reasonable and logical: useful and not harmful.
In addition, there is the carrot which is also a root: so clean it without peeling its crust or outer membrane and eat it fresh and raw.. it almost has an effect.
