We often include juices in our diet to stay healthy and energetic. But have you ever thought about using onion juice?
I know that when it comes to juices, we mostly rely on fresh fruits and vegetables. Onion is not usually our first choice. However, being a rich source of the organosulfur compound, allicin, the juice of this vegetable can stimulate our metabolism, lower cholesterol levels, improve blood circulation, reduce cardiovascular risks, and treat urinary disorders.
This wonderful vegetable is high in sulfur, vitamins A, B, C, and E, powerful antioxidants, quercetin, and many other flavonoids. Onion juice is completely skin-friendly, preventing wrinkles and giving a glow to the skin. It also addresses hair issues.
