They both have excellent cholesterol-lowering abilities, but most folks stay
away from them due to the pungent odour associated with it especially garlic.
They have been used for ages for their medicinal properties and for spicing
dishes. They both stimulate the production of digestive enzymes which actively
breaks down fatty acid deposits. Garlic has a broader spectrum of action
compared to the onion, and its active ingredients are stronger than those found
in onions. They are both useful in the cleansing of the liver, high blood
pressure, bacterial infections and it is not limited to gastrointestinal disorders
and the common cold.
So now let’s get into the act of effectively using these new found friends of
ours. You can munch on cloves of garlic and onions by dicing them up and
adding some vinegar or lemon juice to make a zingy salad. A dash of honey
will add some much needed mellow taste to this mixture. It is handy in the
treatment of respiratory tract problems. I bet you know onions and garlic are
used for cooking either in boiling, steaming or frying of specific types of foods.
The healing effects of these two great friends on our bodies cannot be overestimated.
Onions and garlic can also be consumed in their powder or oil forms. It all
comes down to which one suits you at any given point in time. You may want to
dissolve the powder in warm water and drink or take a clove or two of garlic
two to three times daily. It all depends on you. It is important to note that if you
have issues with your gallbladder, take a full berth around garlic and onions
and keep walking. You taste them, and you are going to be having some severe
pains for a very long time.
