6. Garlic and onions:
They are both included in a group of foods of the Allium genus. Onions and garlic have much in common, and not only the strong odor. They contain a substance known as allicin, which is responsible for their taste and characteristic smell.
An interesting fact about garlic and onions is how they reduce our circulating levels of bad cholesterol while protecting the body against oxidative stress. They have hepatoprotective activity and prevent heavy metal accumulation in the liver, especially cadmium. These foods have also been tested in alcoholic fatty liver and fibrosis.
