Diabetes

Diabetes is a disease when the level of sugar in the blood is high but the cells remain hungry for sugar. Why is this happening? Because, for some reasons, glucose from the blood cannot pass into cells. These are two reasons: either there is not enough insulin to bring glucose into the cell, or there is enough insulin but the cells are less responsive to its action.

In the case of  lack of insulin, then it is type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disease often triggered by a viral infection, in which the body began to destroy parts of the pancreas that create insulin. The result is less and less insulin. This form of diabetes is treated by taking insulin prescribed by a doctor. Insulin must be taken conscientiously because it can lead to hypoglycemic coma, which is a life-threatening condition.

Another form of diabetes is type 2 diabetes, which occurs because the body does not respond well to insulin. The most common cause of type 2 diabetes is obesity. It can be well controlled by a special diet for diabetics, which includes maintenance of normal body weight.

Onion

Onion is a very healthy and useful herb. It has been proven to contain ingredients that promote the establishment of insulin.

In addition, it contains chromium, which affects the sensitivity of cells to insulin.

Substances that contain onion can affect the blood pressure lowering, and they can also be used as a mild diuretic. Onion contains isocyanates which act as antiseptic and can help reduce inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis and diseases of the respiratory tract. This useful vegetable helps expectoration and helps increase immunity.

Studies have shown that the use of ports for two to three times a week reduces the risk of colon cancer.

It contains plenty of potassium, sulfur, and chromium. It is rich in quercetin, bioflavonoids with antioxidant properties. It is interesting that the portion of 100 grams contains the daily dose of vitamin C and has a lot of vitamin A and vitamin B1, B2, E, H and K. It would be the best to use onion raw.
