Onions Can Help Improve Our Cardiovascular Health
Studies have shown that the health benefits of onions can be linked to sulfur compounds found in onions. These compounds have anti-clotting properties that prevent blood platelet cells from clumping together. This action, in turn, prevents blood clots from occurring in our bodies and can also lower bad cholesterol levels, raise good cholesterol levels, thin the blood, and ward off asthma and hay fever. In addition, onions contain a high amount of flavonoids, which aid Vitamin C in a way that allows it to prevent heart attacks.
