Benefits of Eating Raw Onions
Well, it is surprising to know that these vegetables that we use to add
flavour and aroma to the dish have many health benefits. If eaten raw,
onion and garlic can be really good for the body. Raw onions have sulphur compounds and essential vitamins that can be best consumed raw. If cooked, the essential nutrients and vitamins get lost.
So, if you love onion salad, here are few good reasons to have it regularly.
Health benefits of eating raw onions:
Cures constipation:
The fibre in raw onions help flush out toxins and hard food particles that get stuck
in the intestines. If you are suffering from constipation, have raw onions.
An Ayurveda medicine for sore throat:
If you are suffering from cold, cough and a sore throat, have fresh onion juice.
Add jaggery or honey to the onion juice.
Remedy for bleeding problems:
Have a bleeding nose or suffer from piles? Have raw onions. It is one simple and
effective home remedy to cure piles naturally. To cure a bleeding nose, cut a raw
onion and smell it for some time. The white onions can help cure bleeding problems.
Controls diabetes:
This is one of the health benefits of eating raw onions. If consumed raw, onions increase
the production of insulin. So, if you are diabetic, you have a good reason to munch crisp
raw onion salad regularly.

Regular consumption of raw onion protects the heart from coronary diseases. It controls
high blood pressure and also opens blocked arteries. This is one of the known health
benefits of eating raw onions.
Controls cholesterol levels:
The small herbaceous plant vegetable has a very good health benefit for obese people and
heart patients. Raw onions control cholesterol by reducing the bad cholesterol (LDL) levels. It has methylallyl sulphide as well as the sulphur-containing amino-acids that lowers bad
cholesterol and increases good cholesterol (HDL) levels.

Onion is rich in sulphur compounds. Sulphur protects the body from stomach, colon,
breast, lung and prostate cancer and prevents the growth of cancer cells. It also helps
cure urinary tract disorders.
Treats anaemia:
We often see tears flowing from the eyes while chopping onions. The sulphur-containing
oils and organic sulphides lead to tears once it enters the nostrils. These oils help treat
anaemia. Note that the oils and the effect of organic sulphides reduce when the onions
are cooked. So, to treat anaemia, have raw onions.
These are few health benefits of eating raw onions. You can have raw onions in sandwiches, mix with your vegetable salad or use as toppings for hamburgers and chaats. To prevent the strong
and pungent mouth odour of raw onions, brush your teeth and have some mouth fresheners
like cardamom or clove.
