Daikon
Daikon is a rather large root, white in color, well known and used in Japan. Here it is still not very widespread, it is found above all in organic food stores, also called white radish or Chinese radish.
Daikon has a characteristic spicy flavor, similar to what we know of radish and has many properties, mainly related to the elimination of toxins. In fact, it has diuretic, draining and purifying properties and for traditional Chinese medicine it has the ability to move stagnation.

Cucumber, a typically summer vegetable, has a good draining action, helping to eliminate excess liquids (think of the classic cucumber slices on the eyes to deflate).

Fava beans
Other vegetables present in the summer season are broad beans, which can be eaten fresh or dried. To facilitate the drainage of fats, it is preferable to consume them fresh in the cooked version: they act on diuresis by favoring the elimination of fats and counteracting retention. They are especially indicated for those who tend to accumulate their own weight due to the retention of body fluids.

Pineapple
It is a fruit that does not grow directly in our area, but consuming it in the summer season, when our temperatures are also high, helps the body for its high draining properties.
Pineapple is rich in vitamin C, which counteracts inflammation of the tissues, has anti-inflammatory and decongestant properties especially for edema and cellulite. Water retention is in fact a phenomenon of inflammation of the lymphatic system and microcirculation. Pineapple, as an alkalizing fruit, stabilizes the pH by reducing the acid level within the body.
