The presence of quercetin in onions is what makes them a wonder veggie for high blood pressure patients. Quercetin prevents constriction of blood vessels which maintains a smooth flow of blood. A study in 70 overweight people with high blood pressure found that a dose of 162 mg per day of onion extract significantly reduced systolic blood pressure by 3–6 mmHg. You can easily include raw onion in your diet by making it a part of your salad.
Disclaimer: Keep monitoring your blood pressure regularly and do not stop having medication suggested by the doctor.
