Onions are so healthy, help your body deal with inflammation, fight chronic disease and regulate blood sugar. They help our body fight against many bacteria including Bacillus subtilis, Salmonella, and E. coli. The World Health Organization (WHO) suggests eating onions for treatment of poor appetite and to prevent atherosclerosis.
WHY ONIONS:
1. SULFER: Onions contain a number of sulfides similar to those found in garlic which may lower blood lipids and blood pressure.
2. FLAVONIODS: Onions are a rich source of flavonoids, substances known to provide protection against cardiovascular disease.
3. ANTI-CLOTTING: Onions are also natural anticlotting agents since they possess substances with fibrinolytic activity and can suppress platelet-clumping. The anti-clotting effect of onions closely correlates with their sulfur content.
4. BLOOD SUGAR: One cup of raw onion contains more than 20% of the daily requirement of the trace mineral chromium, important for helping the body to metabolize sugar and lipids.
5. GOOD GUT BACTERIA (increase serotonin/decrease cravings): Onions are a very rich source of fructo-oligosaccharides. These oligomers stimulate the growth of healthy bifidobacteria and suppress the growth of potentially harmful bacteria in the colon.
6. ANTIOXIDANTS: Onions are rich in phytochemicals and the antioxidant flavonoid quercetin, which helps lower the risk of high blood pressure, heart attack, and many types of cancer.
7. ASTHMA: In addition, onion extracts help with treat coughs and colds, asthma and bronchitis. Onions are known to decrease bronchial spasms, they have very powerful anti-inflammatory properties. Onion extract helps to decrease allergy-induced bronchial constriction in asthma patients. Click HERE to find pure onion extract.
