Here are few reasons you should add ONIONS and GARLIC to your diet
ππΌ ONION AND GARLIC AGAINST CANCER
Both onion and garlic contain organosulfur compounds and flavonoids which are very powerful antioxidants. These therefore provide good protection against several types of cancer. A study in China found that eating garlic and onion would reduce their risk of getting cancer by 60%.
ππΌ PROTECTION AGAINST VIRUSES
Garlic stimulates our immune system and allows us to treat colds and flu more quickly by swallowing a raw clove as soon as the first symptoms appear. To relieve as well as treat, also try onion soup.
ππΌ AGAINST BACTERIA
Garlic is an antibacterial and antiviral food that destroys microbes, intestinal parasites, and even fungi. Onion has a similar effect, helping the body fight various infections.
ππΌ TO REGULARIZE CHOLESTEROL LEVELS
Garlic has the property of lowering the level of βbadβ cholesterol (LDL), while increasing the level of βgoodβ cholesterol (HDL). The onion also has this capacity, but especially when eaten raw.
ππΌ STRENGTHENING HEART FUNCTIONS
Garlic lowers blood pressure in people for whom it is too high. The onion, for its part, prevents the formation of clots, and therefore prevents thrombosis. This provides double protection to our arteries
NB: To benefit from these benefits, you must eat them regularly but in moderation.
