Onions Health Benefits
A lot of people know that onions are good for their health. However, a new study on onions found that their health benefits may be similar to those of garlic.
Here are the most important health benefits of onions:
- Decrease bronchial spasms.
- Decrease allergy-induced bronchial constriction in asthma patients.
- Prevent bacterial lung infections.
- Reduce cholesterol and blood pressure
- Prevent harmful blood clots.
- Help reduce the risk for cancer, particularly stomach and colon cancer
Onion varieties such as Western Yellow, New York Bold, and Northern Red are very rich in flavonoids, such as quercetin and phenols.
Because of all these huge health benefits, you should make onions a regular part of your diet.
