Onions add flavor and detox the system – important in any weight loss program

Posted by in Foods and recipes

Onions are much milder than garlic, and are very good at cleansing and detoxifying the system. They contain a very important flavonoid called quercetin.

Onions have the same merits to a greater or lesser extent as leeks or garlic and out of the three I prefer leeks. Onions also lower cholesterol, keep the blood thin, protect the heart and improve circulation.

All of the onion family will add plenty of flavor and richness to your meals, important when you are on a weight-loss, health-gain program.  Onions can be used in so many ways, to enhance the taste of so many recipes.
