This beautiful veggie is particularly high in vitamin C, a nutrient involved in regulating;

Onions are also rich in B vitamins, including folate (B9) and pyridoxine (B6) — which play key roles in
🧅 metabolism,

In fact, the average potassium intake of Americans is just over half the recommended daily value (DV) of 4,700 mg
In order to function we need potassium. Potassium is responsible for
🧅 Normal cellular function,
🧅 fluid balance,

In a paper published in Foodborne Pathogens and Illness, discusses the hygiene hypothesis, which they say first began being bandied about in the mid-1900s & has increased in credibility among doctors and other experts.
According to these researchers: “This hypothesis states that a lack of exposure of children (as well as adults) to diet, commensalism bacteria, & minor pathogenic insults results in an immune system that does not function normally.
This lack of antibodies to true pathogens in the immune system has resulted in the dramatic increase in allergies and asthma in developed country over the past 20 years.”
