Consuming red onions in their original, raw state on a regular basis may help maintain your body health and prevent chronic disease in the long run.


Why?


Because red onions are a powerhouse of vitamins and minerals high in folate, thiamine, calcium, magnesium, potassium, manganese, and vitamins C, K, and B6. Phytonutrients have potent anti-cancer and anti-heart disease effects. And epidemiological research suggests that food patterns that include fruits and vegetables are associated with a reduced risk of many chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, and may be protective against certain types of cancers.


Here’s some of the benefits of red onions:


✅May stop cancer cell growth
Red onions are full of sulfur compounds that protect the body from ulcers and various cancers. They can also fight bacteria in the urinary tract. The most important of these chemicals is quercetin, which is an antioxidant that may help prevent cancer, heart disease, and allergies.


✅Helps control diabetes
Raw red onions are good for diabetics since they help to raise insulin levels. Red onions and raw garlic are very popular amongst diabetics in Europe and Asia.


✅Reduces high cholesterol levels
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad" cholesterol, may be reduced in obese persons at risk of heart disease by flavonoid chemicals, which are the same molecules that give onions their vibrant color.
