Onions count too. Just one that is!
They lower blood pressure and cholesterol.
Not always good if you plan to kiss a girl just after a meal.
But ideal when heated and placed on the boil for drawing out puss !
Lots to be said for onions.

You have made me cry! I am not sure if it is the onions or crocodile tears? What ever the cause you have cut me to the ‘quick’
Hear Yea Hear yea! come all you suffers of colds and sneezes, draw closer: I have a tale to tell. Should you secrect a whole onion uncut in a room, descrectly but not protected, it will reward those occuppies of that room, while the oinion remains freash defence agaionst colds snuffles and sneezes. An old wives tale but It works.
Good on you onions. Remember to change the onion when it becomes stale. The facts are that the onion draws into itself the omens of coughs and sneezes, and so puifies the air one breaths. Belive this or believe it not. Being a whole onion unpeeled it does not ‘stink the room’ out or cause an onion like odour-Please try it. Do not eat the onoin on completion of its duty, but it it too rest carefully, with respect and thanks.
Please excuse my spelling? I get really excited at times, and this was one time.
