Summary:

1. Combats Cancer Cells: Wasabi contains powerful compounds called phytonutrients, or phytochemicals. These contain sulphur which has strong anticancer effects. They occur naturally in cruciferous vegetables, like wasabi. When raw vegetables are chewed, plant cells are broken down and converted into phytochemicals.
2. Improves Gut Health: Studies have shown this root has characteristics that may suppress bacteria found in the gut, such as gastric inflammation and potentially stomach cancer. It’s possible that it can prevent food poisoning, which is one of the reasons it’s served with raw fish.
3. Protects Heart Health: Another popular reason for adding wasabi regularly is to prevent heart issues. It has compounds that can help lower high cholesterol and reduce the risk of strokes and heart attacks. The phytochemicals in wasabi do more than just prevent cancer.
4. Fights Arthritis: The pungent wasabi, has also been shown to reduce cases of joint swelling, inflammation, and even subdue the effects of arthritis. Again, the powerful antioxidant phytochemicals have been shown to reduce inflammation of joints, ligaments, and muscles. Studies suggest that wasabi helps maintain bone integrity in humans and can help reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
