- Blood Pressure Regulation: Quercetin helps relax blood vessels and reduce hypertension.
- Cholesterol Balance: Studies show that onions can help decrease harmful LDL (bad) cholesterol levels while helping maintain healthy HDL levels.
- Inhibits Blood Clots: Sulfur compounds in onions act as natural blood thinners, preventing blood platelets from clumping together abnormally.
