Never mind the tears they provoke, onions help in your fight against diseases. A prized member of the lily family, they lavish you with health benefits while

adding taste to your food. A quick glimpse at their incredible health benefits:

• The phytochemicals in onions improve the working of Vitamin C in the body, thus gifting you with improved immunity.

• Onions contain chromium, which assists in regulating blood sugar.

• For centuries, onions have been used to reduce inflammation and heal infections.

• Do you enjoy sliced onions with your food? If yes, rejoice! Raw onion encourages the production of good cholesterol (HDL), thus keeping your heart healthy.

• A powerful compound called quercetin in onions is known to play a significant role in preventing cancer.

• Got bitten by a honeybee? Apply onion juice on the area for immediate relief from the pain and burning sensation.

• Onions and garlic are both pungent in odour and flavour. Linked to this pungency is the fact that both of these vegetables are excellent natural antibacterial agents. By eating a diet that is heavy in (raw or slightly cooked) onions, you can boost your body’s natural protection against bacteria. You’ll be less likely to experience certain types of infections.

• Onions are generally high in iron. Red onions, in particular, have the highest concentrations of iron. This can be helpful for a number of reasons. Onions can prevent anaemia and also boost blood cells in a number of ways as a result of the iron that they contain.

• Folic acid is helpful in regulating body systems. It is typically found in different types of fruits, but onions are unique in that they contain a hefty amount of folic acid.
