- Allium vegetables - like onions, garlic, leeks and shallots - have a host of health benefits, including possible reductions in the rates of some cancers. Two of the most commonly used of these veggies - onions and garlic - are also the most pungent; sometimes too pungent.
But despite some drawbacks, they are minor compared to the variety of health benefits that these veggies can bring.
EPISODE SCRIPT
Let’s start with garlic.
This vegetable has been a part of great, tasty dishes for hundreds of years. It’s also been used as a home remedy for colds with some recent studies suggesting that people taking garlic supplements have a reduced rate of catching colds compared to people who didn’t.
And there are some even more serious conditions that garlic can help with. It’s been shown to reduce both blood pressure and total cholesterol. And for people with diabetes, garlic supplements over a few months have reduced their fasting blood glucose levels. All pretty impressive.
Next, let’s move to onions that have their own particular benefits.
Like apples, onions contain a flavonoid that’s a great antioxidant: quercetin. This flavonoid can contribute to reductions in atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease! And although quercetin is available in other foods, it’s absorbed much faster into the bloodstream if it’s consumed through onions! Another way that onions help against cardiovascular-related problems is that they can inhibit or reduce platelet aggregation, which can lead to blood clots.
One thing that people don’t like about onions is what happens when you cut them for cooking - your eyes start to tear up. While you’re cutting through an onion, organosulfur compounds are created. These may be part of the process contributing to tearing up, but they also have anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties that are very beneficial. (And don’t peel too much of the onion - most of the best stuff is in the outer layers.)
Two things to remember about onions that may encourage you to eat them more: cooked onions can be sweet, without the lachrymose edge (this is the sulfur based compound that makes us tear up). Also, if you put your onions in the fridge an hour before you cut them, the onions release less of the gas that irritates the eyes.
Onions and garlic might be unusually dramatic in the way they can take over a room with their odors and gases released through cooking. But with the right approaches, they not only add zest to your meals, but they also add truly healthy ingredients to your body’s daily food intake. Despite the smell, give these valuable veggies a try!

Every time i feel a cold or fever coming, I just drink more water, sleep, chopped raw onion/shallot with honey and viola, always recover in a day. Never fail me yet after so many years.
A good diet is very healing! I like taking supplements with elderberry, garlic, echinacea, and medicinal mushrooms such as reishi, lions mane, and chaga to help me ward off a viral infection before it has a chance to establish itself. I'll have to try your suggestions next time I'm not feeling well 😊
Be careful with honey, although it contains strong anti=bacterial elements, it can also incredibly increase your blood sugar.
@@Sara-gl8ue Quercetin supplements are good too or you could just eat onions and drink onion peel tea regularly. Slow cook and boil them and enjoy .Don't burn or caramelize your foods if you're eating for your health and not just your pleasure. Raw onions are great too if you can handle them .
Onions are awesome and garlic just scares everything bad away lol
Some people may think onions and garlic stink, but to me, nothing smells better than onions and garlic when they're cooking on my stove top!
Yes it's all about what you're used to . The more onions and garlic you consume the less it will bother you .
I realized this years ago with sesame oil and when I was a pizza maker .The owner of the restaurant was Italian and was used to eating tons of garlic .
So when he made white pizzas he put way too much minced garlic on them for the average person and people complained. I wasn't very used to it so I put quite a bit less on.
Even the waitresses said I made better white pizza because I didn't put too much garlic on them .
I just thought at the time that I was just using common sense but I have since learned that what's common to us differs .
Like when my Grandmother taught me to cook .Use a recipe as a basic guide but differ in whatever way makes you happy .She called this "doctoring up " foods like putting extra cheese on a pizza or mushrooms or whatever.
I make smoothie with raw onion,garlic,ginger and lemon.
1/4 cup of onion
2 peeled garlic
Small piece of ginger
Squeeze one lemon
Add everything in a smoothie maker with glass of water. Blend and drink up.
What does it taste like? Do you recommend a fruit added with it
@@donnamckenzie6254 I would! What he is stated wuld be gross.
They don't stink. They're amazing 😉
3 times a week I chop up 4 spoon fulls of Raw onions, garlic, turmeric and ginger and give it to my wife and two daughters. Since doing this 2 1/2 years ago our families health have be transformed for the better ie: lower blood pressure, weight loss, moles disappearing off my back, Never being sick with colds or flus anymore etc...
Thank you for your comment! The right foods can be powerful. There are a number of studies in support of garlic for the very symptoms/conditions you mention. "Food as medicine" is an excellent addition to your daily routine. Also, because you do it with regularity the effects build over time.
Eating at least 1 raw red onion a day regrow hair.
Oh my gosh, garlic is making my moles go away also... wow
Garlic also if used in a blow dart it will kill you. Im not even kidding
Put some black pepper in that as well... powerfullllllll
I like the smell of garlic and onions. Seems like it's the sickness inside of people that doesn't like the smell. Even the odor can kill certain microbes.
Really?🤔
I don't understand myself garlic and onions does make the food interesting

I eat garlic 🧄 raw Daily..they don't stink.
You got it wrong, onion and garlic don´t stink; they just smell strong.
By the way, to avoid the smell and crying when cutting, I cut onion once or twice and put it in a soup together with pealed whole garlics, some minutes before the soup is fininshed...
You don´t need to cut them...
do onions and garlic contribute to face bloating and paralysis? they look like they have a bit of a botox effect.
How about green onion?

Interesting how different approaches to health lead to different conclusions about our food. For example: Compare this info to the Ayurvedic view on garlic and onions. Listen for instance to what Sadhguru has to say about this.
Iam from India, I've listend him. He speaks pseudoscience. Recently he said that if a woman gives birth to twins each brest secreat dif types of milk. Don't listen to him.
Brian Gude...As with any health topic, it's true that different conclusions come about, having their start in a person's foundational belief. Most of us know, thankfully, that just because something is believed doesn't necessarily make it true...or false. But then, Man is such an opinionated 'animal' that we usually have to almost be hit over the head with facts before we're willing to change our base beliefs. Lol. Hence, the varying conclusions of so-called "specialists"...on ALL topics. :)
Onion and garlic are tamshik in nature according to ayurveda..it has health benefits but overall it's not worth to it
I have always used onion, garlic and ginger with honey when i have a cold or fever and already recover in a day.
I eat raw onion's everyday it's natural viagra helps alot but gotta eat alot very good results thx

Will eating raw onions and or garlic fight off covid 19?
Yes
COVID-19 will not be detrimental to u if ur immune system is strong!
Garlic & onion helps boost immune system if eaten raw.
Your surname is worth 892,219 on a Scrabble triple word score. 👍😂
Medicine in plain sight but nobody knows
I'm going to stop eating garlic and onions for a few weeks to find out why so many cultures don't even touch them.
Look at that skin
They Stink? Have you guys ever tried frying them together with oil?
Or your onion & garlic is different from Philippines?
Because Frying Onion & Garlic together or sautéing them for a recipe has a very aromatic smell
and that, my kababayan, is killing the enzymes and annihilating its power to heal.
Write in simple English Easy please . read me
U r such a goddess
they're not stinky you vampire
Stop with the Botox and fillers
The irony, of a plastic surgery using slit, telling people what's healthy and what's not. Ha!
