What are the benefits of eating onions for women?

I love eating onions, especially purple onions. I use them to fry eggs, as a condiment for grilled cold noodles, and even as fillings for dumplings. These are temptations that I cannot resist. But onions have a very bad disadvantage: they can easily make people cry. Every time I eat onions, my eyes turn red. I definitely don’t feel touched. I just pout. Although it always makes us cry, it is still very good for our body, so everyone should start eating onions as soon as possible.

Onion Benefits

The anti-cancer effect of onion comes from its rich content of selenium and quercetin.
