Learn more about healing with onions:

1. How do onions help? Onions have many health benefits:

* Onions have sulfuric compounds that can fight bacteria and other germs. These compounds may also lower the risk of cancer and other health issues.

* Onions have antioxidants that can fight free radicals in your body that may lead to cancer.

* They may also help toothaches and gum issues.

* Onions may also be beneficial to good bacteria in the gut, which may reduce stomach issues and help heal you in many ways.

2. Using onions for congestion. One of the most popular home remedies is to use onions for common colds. By consuming onions, you may be able to break up the congestion in your body caused by a cold or flu. You may find it easier to cough up the mucus in your lungs.

* Start by dicing one small onion and add about a teaspoon of water to a pot. Cook the onion in the water on the stove until the water evaporates. Then, let the cooked onion cool so it wonÕt burn your skin.

* Next, take the onion and put it inside a small towel. Place the towel on your chest or back. Leave it on for about 30 minutes.

* When youÕre done, throw away the used onion and make a new batch.

3. Using onions for coughs. There are several home remedies that use onions to relieve coughing.

* The simplest remedy is to take a large, white onion and peel it. Then, slice some of the top off, so itÕs flat. Next, put the onion in a small bowl. Pour about two or more tablespoons of honey on top of the onion and let it sit for a couple of hours. Take a teaspoon of the honey when you cough.

* Another way to prepare onions for coughs is to cook them. Start by cutting an onion into small pieces and add it to a pot. Add about half a cup of honey and slowly heat it. Turn off the heat once the onions are clear and let the mixture cool. Take a teaspoon of the honey every couple of hours.

* In some cases, eating too much onion can cause stomach issues. So, use these remedies in moderation.

4. Using onions for other illnesses. This vegetable has many uses.

* You may want to put a piece of raw onion on your skin after a sprain or muscle issue. The onion is supposed to draw blood closer to the skin and promote healing.

* A raw onion may also help a bruise heal. But donÕt put it on an open wound or sore.

* Some people put raw onions in their socks at night when theyÕre sick to draw out the illness from the body. This may not always work, and itÕs important to wash the socks well and throw away the onion after you use it.

* Onion soup is another popular home remedy that is easy to make. You may want to use onion soup when you have a cold or flu. It may also help urinary tract infections and kidneys issues. Add bone broth to it for more health benefits.

* Consider using garlic and onion together in your home remedies for even greater germ-fighting power.

With their antioxidant and antibacterial properties, onions are truly a healing powerhouse when you consider all the health issues they can help you with. From relieving bruises and sprains, to helping you get over your colds and coughs, to helping prevent cancer, and more, onions can help. Plus, theyÕre safe to use in many home remedies.

Give onions a try! If you have concerns about using them, talk to your doctor first.

Overcoming the Top Obstacle to a Plant-Based Diet

Many adults are interested in plant-based diets because of the health benefits and positive impact on the environment. However, there's one thing holding them back. They don’t like the taste.

In a recent poll of Americans who tried giving up meat but were unable to continue, 28% blamed the lack of flavor, and 23% said they needed more options. Overall, the average experiment with vegetarianism or veganism lasts only 3 months.

On the bright side, the same poll found that three in five respondents would eat a plant-based diet if it was more appetizing. If that sounds like you, try these tips.

Dining In on a Plant Based Diet:

1. Add healthy fats. A lot of recipes will turn out bland if you just leave the meat out. You need to do something to replace the flavor you get from cooking skin and bones. Olive oil will give you more mouthfeel and taste. Other smart choices include sunflower, avocado, and coconut.

2. Use seasonings. Spices and herbs help too. To avoid too much salt, be creative. Experiment with garam masala and sumac, along with the usual garlic and parsley.

3. Consider the texture. Burgers might seem mushy without the muscle tissue that makes them meaty. You can experience chewiness and crunchiness with ingredients like toasted nuts, roasted beans, croutons, and breadcrumbs.

4. Adapt your favorites. Satisfy your cravings and invent substitutes for the dishes you usually make. Switch from pulled pork sandwiches to jackfruit versions. Prepare your next lasagna with spinach, carrots, and cauliflower in place of ground beef.

5. Upgrade your skills. If you read labels carefully, you can probably find nutritious and appealing products in the freezer section at your supermarket. However, you’ll save a lot of money and enjoy fresher food if you do your own cooking.

6. Buy a subscription. What if you prefer to minimize your time in the kitchen? Meal kit plans will do most of the work for you. You can find meatless delivery services at companies like Sun Basket, Green Chef, Purple Carrot, and Daily Harvest.

7. Be patient. Your taste buds may need time to adjust to any new way of eating. That’s especially true if you’re cutting down on ultra-processed products and eating more natural foods with subtle flavors.

Dining Out on a Plant Based Diet:

1. Plan ahead. It’s easy to check what a restaurant serves before you make reservations. Look up the menu online and read customer reviews.

2. Sample different cuisines. Some parts of the world have been vegetarian-friendly for centuries. Enjoy yourself at restaurants that serve food from India, Thailand, Mexico, Ethiopia, and the MIddle East.

3. Make special requests. The hotel and restaurant industries have been working hard to accommodate a wide range of dietary restrictions. Call ahead or discuss your needs with your server. They may be able to recommend popular dishes or create something special for you.

4. Bring supplies. What if you're stuck on a road trip with no quinoa or dairy-free cheese in sight? You might be able to make your order more enticing with a little nutritional yeast or sriracha sauce.

5. Check sourcing. Delicious dishes depend on fresh ingredients. Check the website to see if they get their food from local organic farms or even grow some of their own produce.

6. Support local businesses. Keeping your local vegetarian restaurant in business preserves your options and makes your neighborhood more interesting. Visit them often and post positive reviews.

A plant-based diet may reduce your risk of heart disease and dementia, along with your carbon footprint. Make it taste delicious, so you can stick with eating vegan or just cut back on meat.
