Effect of onions on heart health

Antioxidants: Onions are rich in antioxidants such as flavonoids and quercetin, which are compounds that help reduce inflammation and improve heart health by reducing damage caused by free radicals.

Reducing blood pressure: Onions contain compounds that help dilate blood vessels, which contributes to improving blood flow and lowering blood pressure. Regulating blood pressure reduces the risk of heart disease.

Reducing cholesterol: Some studies suggest that eating onions regularly can help reduce levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase levels of good cholesterol (HDL), which reduces the risk of atherosclerosis.

Anti-inflammatory: Chronic inflammation is a factor that contributes to heart disease. Onions contain anti-inflammatory compounds that help prevent inflammation associated with heart disease.

Improving blood vessel function: Onions enhance the function of the endothelium (endothelium), which enhances blood flow and improves cardiovascular health
