Onions are known as "good friends of people with diabetes". Fresh onion contains 88 grams of moisture, 1.1 grams of protein, 8.1 grams of carbohydrates, 0.9 grams of crude fiber, 0.2 grams of fat, 0.2 grams of ash, 0.02 milligrams of carotene, 8 milligrams of vitamin C8, 0.02 milligrams of vitamin B2, 0.03 milligrams of vitamin B1, 0.14 milligrams of vitamin E, 147 milligrams of potassium, 4.4 milligrams of sodium.

The role of onions:

1. Protective effect (lowering blood pressure and regulating blood lipid)

Prostaglandin An in onion is a strong vasodilator, which can reduce the resistance of human peripheral blood vessels and heart perfect artery, resist the pressor substances such as catecholamines, and promote the excretion of sodium salts and other substances that cause high blood pressure. Therefore, it has the effect of lowering blood pressure and preventing thrombosis. Diallyl disulfides and sulfur amino acids have the strange functions of anti-angiosclerosis and reducing blood lipids. It was found that the cholesterol, triglyceride and lipoprotein of hyperlipidemic patients decreased significantly after eating onions for a period of time. Eating onions regularly can stabilize blood pressure and reduce vascular fragility for a long time. It has a good protective effect on human arteries and vessels.

two。 Diuretic effect

Onion can not only play a health care role in middle-aged and elderly people with multiple cardiovascular diseases, but also can be used to prevent and treat diabetes and renal edema. This is because onions contain organic compounds similar to the hypoglycemic drug methanesulfonylurea and produce quercetin which has a strong diuretic effect in the body.

3. Anticancer effect

Modern medical research shows that onions contain trace element selenium. Selenium is an antioxidant that promotes the production of large amounts of glutathione in the body. The main physiological function of glutathione is to scavenge free radicals. When the concentration of this substance increases, the incidence of cancer decreases. So onion is also an anti-cancer medicinal food.

4. Bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects

Animal experiments have proved that onion can increase tension and secretion of gastrointestinal tract, and can be used in intestinal weakness and non-dysentery enteritis.

5. Other functions

People use onion as a diuretic and expectorant. External use has a mild stimulating effect. It has anti-diabetic effect on alloxan and epinephrine-induced hyperglycemia. Onion extract has a contractile effect on isolated uterus.
