See Reasons Why Onion Are House Hold Savior

Onions can be found in almost every household kitchen. You may not enjoy cutting this vegetable as it releases enzymes and gas-prone compounds that make you cry.
These pesky and eye watering compounds are what gives onions the flavor that enhances salads, soups, and just about any dish it is added to. The bulbs, however, have more uses than expected from health benefits to the perfect grill cleaner. These reasons below prove to us why onions are basically a household miracle;

1. Don’t throw out your burned rice.
Place half of the onion on top of the rice. The bulb will absorb the burnt smell, saving tonight’s dinner in the process.

2. Polish your silverware.
Slice and crush onions followed by placing them in water. Dip a cloth in the mix and use that to remove all the grime and dirt off the metal.

3. Stop feeling dizzy.
Grab a piece of cut onion and place it directly under the nose of someone who is feeling dizzy.
4. Cure your insomnia once and for all.

Onions on their own may not produce the best smell out there, but cutting one in half and breathing in the smell has been known to help folks fall asleep easier. You can also place a cut onion in an open jar and place it close to your bed.

4. Add more onions to your food for an increased sex drive.
Sex expert and yogi Psalm Isadora says this bulb increases testosterone, thus, boosting both men and women’s libido. “In Ayurveda, it’s known as a tonic for building sexual energy,” she explains. “Monks have to avoid it because it’s known to build up semen.”

Onions contain oligofructose, a soluble fiber that helps prevent and treat diarrhea. Oligofructose reduces the risk of developing gastric ulcers and promotes good bacteria growth in the intestines.

8. Reduce menstrual cramps.
Make an onion tea to help with menstrual cramps. Use the layer of skin and rinse them. Boil them for a couple of minutes and add honey to drink. Onions contain phenolic compounds like quercetin which have medicinal properties.

9. Helps to fight cancer.
A 2004 study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry found that quercetin has anti-cancer properties. The research found that quercetin slows the cancer cells growth in the colon and liver.
