Onions are a nutrient-dense vegetable with a unique bundle of vitamins and antioxidants that support your body and brain health as you age.
Onions contain nutrients that help support everyday brain function.
This includes vitamin C, folate and potassium, as well as powerful plant compounds called polyphenol flavonoids, which help to protect your brain from the impacts of ageing. Emerging research has linked polyphenol flavonoids with better brain function and a lower likelihood of experiencing memory loss and thinking difficulties.
Onions are particularly rich in the flavonoid quercetin, which has been shown to help protect against neurodegeneration, Alzheimer’s disease and memory loss.
