Here’s a quick way to lower your blood pressure and protect your heart: Eat red onions every day! Researchers from the University of Maryland Medical Center zeroed in on a flavonoid in red onions called quercetin… and found that it relaxes the arteries leading to your heart, and flushes out artery-clogging “bad” LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. Bottom line: Just adding a third of a cup of red onions to your daily diet – whether they’re raw, roasted, or sautéed – can help cut your risk of heart disease in HALF.
