24. Onions
Onions are not just for making your meals tasty, but aside from adding flavor to most dishes, these vegetables are full of flavonoids, which is a phytonutrient with anti-inflammatory benefits that protect the body from oxidative stress. One of its specific flavonoids is quercetin, a powerful antioxidant that helps reduce cancer risk and heart disease. Onions are also chockful of prostaglandin, a substance that helps reduce high blood pressure and blood viscosity, which in turn works to slow down kidney disease. So when you get the chance, make sure to prepare your dishes with onions to not only add flavor, but to help your overall kidney health.
