Eating green onions can prevent lymphoma

Scallions are the favorite of northerners. No matter whether they are eaten raw or cooked, they seem to be inseparable from scallions. The aroma and appetite of stir-fried dishes all come from the fragrance of scallions. The favorite dish of Shandong people is scallion pancakes, and the favorite dish of Northeastern people is scallions dipped in soybean paste. Although this was a habit in the past when material life was not rich, this habit has continued to this day, and this dish is still loved by everyone.

Friends in the south don't seem to be very fond of scallions. They just treat it as a side dish and use it when making soup or cooking. It is impossible for southerners to eat scallions raw. Therefore, the difference between the north and the south can be seen in the way they eat scallions.

Eating scallions raw is indeed very nutritious, but people in many places do not accept it because of the spiciness of eating scallions raw and the taste that will be left in the mouth after eating. Therefore, many people do not like it. In fact, scallions are vegetables with very rich nutritional value. The people in the north are eating scallions and cooking them all year round, so their overall physique is still higher than that of Guangdong people. So what are the effects of scallions? Let's discuss it together.

Green onions are rich in nutrients and relatively balanced. The main nutrients of green onions are protein, carbohydrates, and provitamin A, which is mainly found in green onion leaves. In addition, they also contain dietary fiber and minerals such as phosphorus, iron, and magnesium.

1. It helps to promote appetite and relieve fatigue. Raw shallots, like onions, also contain allyl sulfide. Allyl sulfide stimulates the secretion of gastric juice and helps to increase appetite. When taken with foods rich in vitamin B1, the starch and sugar contained in vitamin B1 will turn into heat, thus relieving fatigue.

2. Prevent Alzheimer's disease. The green onion leaves contain more vitamin A, vitamin C and calcium than the white part. Onions contain a considerable amount of vitamin C, which can dilate small blood vessels and promote blood circulation, helping to prevent dizziness caused by high blood pressure and keep the brain flexible, thus helping to prevent Alzheimer's disease.

3. Prevent cancer. People who often eat onions, even if they are fat, do not have high cholesterol and have a strong physique. Onions also contain the trace element selenium and can reduce the nitrite content in gastric juice, which has a certain effect on preventing gastric cancer and various cancers.

4. Treat colds. Onions contain volatile oils and capsaicin with pungent odors, which can remove the odors of greasy and heavy dishes such as fishy and muttony, produce a special aroma, and have a strong bactericidal effect. Volatile capsaicin can also slightly stimulate the secretion of related glands when it is discharged through the sweat glands, respiratory tract, and urinary system, thereby playing a role in sweating, expectoration, and diuresis. It is one of the traditional Chinese medicines for treating colds.

5. Protect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Scallions can also lower blood lipids, blood pressure, and blood sugar. If eaten with mushrooms, they can promote blood circulation. Eating scallions regularly can control cholesterol levels.
