Khaberni - Overconsumption of sugar is a major problem in the modern diet due to its harmful effects, such as increased inflammation, high blood sugar levels, and the development of metabolic syndrome.
Recent scientific discoveries indicate that garlic and onions can be powerful allies in combating the health consequences of overeating sugar.
1- Reducing Blood Sugar Response
Studies have shown that consuming garlic and onions with carbohydrates slows the absorption of sugar and prevents its rapid rise in the blood. Raw garlic is considered most effective in this area.
2- Improving Insulin Sensitivity
The organic sulfur compounds in garlic (allicin) and the flavonoids in onions (quercetin) increase cell sensitivity to insulin, helping the body use glucose more efficiently and reducing the risk of diabetes.
3- Fighting Inflammation
Quercetin in onions and allicin in garlic have strong anti-inflammatory properties, which help neutralize chronic inflammation caused by overconsumption of sugar.
4- Protecting Blood Vessels
Garlic and onions help lower harmful cholesterol (LDL) levels and prevent the formation of cholesterol plaques, which is especially important when consuming sugar that can damage the walls of blood vessels.
Overall, garlic and onions are effective supplements for controlling sugar damage, but they do not replace the need to control its consumption. The best way to protect health is still to reduce added sugar in the diet and use garlic and onions as an additional aid.
