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.
