“Onion cures seven ailments” – so goes the famous proverb.
But did you know that in some situations this healthy vegetable can cause serious harm to health? Today we will tell you about contraindications to eating onions.
If we talk about raw vegetables, they pose a danger to people who suffer from gastritis, pancreatitis or peptic ulcers.
The whole point is that in its fresh “state” the vegetable increases the acidity in the stomach and can cause an exacerbation of the listed diseases.
To avoid negative consequences, if you have problems with the gastrointestinal tract, you should eat boiled, baked or fried onions.
In this form it does not cause exacerbations.
Another possible unpleasant effect is flatulence. Raw onions contain a lot of fructose, which when broken down can cause increased gas in some people.
In this case, you should monitor your body's reaction to the vegetable and avoid eating it if you experience gas.
In addition, onions are known to cause high blood pressure, so people with hypertension are not recommended to consume them in large quantities.
