10 Benefits of Onions
Benefit #10: Strong Bones
Our bones are really quite strong. This is down to the materials they are made of and also the way they are structured. As we get older, though, our skeletal structure tends to become less dense, and this can cause our bones to become weaker. This can cause problems, such as an increased likelihood of picking up fractures from impacts.
Keep plenty of onion in your diet, though, and your bones are likely to stay stronger for longer. This is because onions help to maintain bone density, helping them to keep their strength. Studies have shown that women who have been through the menopause are 20% less likely to suffer from bone disease if they eat plenty of onion.
