Eating onions on July 5th (Friday) can actually be 'poison' for such people.

 

Onions are one of the essential ingredients that cannot be missing from our dining table. They are used in various dishes and are known to have positive effects on health. However, onions are not beneficial for everyone. For some people, onions can be toxic. So, who should be cautious about consuming onions?

 

📍Onions, they are so good for your health..

 

Onions are rich in antioxidants such as quercetin and vitamin C, which help strengthen the immune system, have anti-inflammatory effects, and prevent cardiovascular diseases. However, for some people, these benefits may act as side effects.

 

People who should avoid consuming onions

 

1. People with gastrointestinal diseases

Onions can produce a strong aroma and irritation during digestion. Especially for people suffering from gastrointestinal conditions such as gastritis, gastric ulcers, or reflux esophagitis, onion consumption can stimulate stomach acid secretion and worsen symptoms. Professor Kim Ji-hoon of the Department of Gastroenterology at Seoul National University Hospital advises, "Patients with gastrointestinal diseases should be cautious about consuming onions."

 

2. People taking blood thinners

Onions have a blood-thinning effect that can help prevent blood clots. However, people taking blood thinners may have an increased risk of bleeding if they consume onions. This is because the anticoagulant properties of onions can interact with medications, potentially leading to excessive bleeding.

 

3. People with allergic tendencies

Some people also have allergic reactions to onions. These individuals may experience allergy symptoms such as skin rashes, itching, and difficulty breathing when consuming onions. People with a tendency to allergies should avoid eating onions or check their safety through allergy testing before consumption.

 

4. Women who are pregnant

Some studies report that onions can cause excessive uterine contractions during pregnancy. Therefore, women who are pregnant should appropriately regulate their onion intake. In particular, reducing onion consumption is recommended during the early stages of pregnancy.
