Tan Dunci pointed out in the program "Medical Points No Exaggeration" that some people asked her what foods can protect the kidneys. She would recommend eating onions because onions contain sulfides and quercetin, which are antioxidants and are very helpful for kidney health.

Diabetes accelerates the deterioration of kidney function

Tan Dunci said that many people say that there are a lot of unscrupulous foods in Taiwan, so there are many dialysis patients. In fact, this is not the case.

Hong Yongxiang said that eating onions raw can retain more quercetin and sulfide, which has the highest nutritional value. It is also okay to eat them cooked, but the nutritional value will deteriorate. It is recommended to consume 1/4 to half an onion every day. However, although onions are nutritious, it is recommended to avoid them for kidney patients who need to limit potassium and phosphorus, those who are bleeding or taking anticoagulants, those with gastric ulcers, gastritis, acute gastrointestinal inflammation, pregnant women and breastfeeding women.
