Onion

Posted Feb 08 2012 10:56am

As strong in healing power as they are in taste, these vegetables keep disease at a safe distance.

The powerful anti-inflammatory effects of onions make them a vital ingredient in nourishing winter dishes. They are full of nutrients that counteract respiratory problems at all levels, from the nasal congestion caused by a cold to the wheezing of asthma. Their antibacterial action combats all kinds of infectious disease and they protect the digestive system, reducing the risks of intestinal growths that can lead to cancer. The same compounds cause the smell and the healing effects, so the more pungent the onion, the more it will do for you.

 

Nutrients: Vitamins B6, C, folate, chromium, copper, manganese, molybdenum, phosphorus, potassium and fiber.
