Why onions are good for you when you crave onion or anything else your body is trying to tell you something​

Improves kidney function
Thanks to its diuretic action, eating onion is good for patients with kidney problems (stones, insufficiency, etc.). It is also recommended for people suffering from hypertension and water retention.

It is expectorant
When we suffer from respiratory diseases such as pharyngitis or bronchitis, it promotes expectoration and the elimination of mucus.
We must also consume onion if we have a cold.

Reduces cholesterol
Regular consumption of this bulb lowers blood fat levels and reduces bad cholesterol (LDL). In addition, the onion helps us to purify the arteries in a natural way.

Balances glucose
People who suffer from diabetes can find a great ally in onion, as it has the ability to lower blood sugar levels.

Onions activate pathways that encourage cancer cells to undergo cell death. They promote an unfavourable environment for cancer cells and they disrupt communication between cancer cells, which inhibits growth." The researchers have also recently determined onions are effective at killing breast cancer cells.

Hope this answers your question. Did your sister have skin problems?

Lemons also have antimicrobial effects, which may help tame Propionibacterium acnes bacteria that lead to inflammatory acne. At the same time, lemon also has antifungal effects, which may help treat Candida rashes as well as scalp fungus that sometimes occurs with seborrheic dermatitis.18 Apr 2022
