A study has shown that garlic, white onion, and purple onion help protect against Type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure, which may be attributed to their strong antioxidant properties. The study, which was published in the Journal of Dietary Supplements, examined the effect of aqueous extracts of garlic, white onion, and purple onion on key enzymes linked with Type 2 diabetes and hypertension.
These findings suggest that garlic, white onion, and purple onion exhibit antidiabetic and antihypertensive properties due to their inhibitory effect on key enzymes linked with diabetes and hypertension and their powerful antioxidant properties.
