Onions
Similar to garlic, onions not only add flavor but also boast a nutritional profile worth acknowledging. They are rich in vitamins B6 and C, manganese, and copper.
Their unique compounds, including quercetin and other sulfur-containing compounds, exhibit antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Quercetin, in particular, holds promise in combating oxidative stress and inflammation, thereby supporting kidney function. Additionally, onions’ role in cardiovascular health by potentially reducing the risk of high blood pressure and heart disease further highlights their importance in a kidney-friendly diet.
