BULK UP thinning bones with this stinky trick from Ancient Egypt
Isn’t it funny how younger folks treat you with “kid gloves”…
Even though you’re TOUGHER than they could ever IMAGINE being!
But while you may have a STRONG constitution…
There is something that could be getting WEAKER on the inside.
Your bones!
If you’re a gal who’s already gone through “the change”… or a guy who’s over 65…
Your bone tissue could be DISINTEGRATING more quickly than it can REGENERATE.
But you DON’T have to keep losing bone.
You can SHORE UP your bone mineral density… and even REDUCE your fracture risk…
With an ancient culinary secret.
It may not make your bones IMMORTAL… but it could help keep them THICKER and STRONGER in the long run.
A bone-building bulb
The medicinal history of onions (Allium cepa) goes as far back as about 5,000 years ago.
Ancient Egyptians painted the onion… which they considered a symbol of eternity… on the walls of their pyramids and tombs…
And even tucked the bulbs away in the mummies they entombed!
A natural antibiotic, onions have been used to heal wounds for MILLENNIA.
But what may SURPRISE you… is how onions can support healthy bones!
That makes sense, when you consider that onions are a rich source of sulfur… which influences the production of a CRUCIAL protein for strong bones.
That’s right – the plant chemical that makes your eyes tear up when you slice into an onion helps produce bone-building collagen!
In fact, one study showed how the MORE onions older gals ate… the BETTER their bone density was!
In that study, consuming onions on a daily basis was associated with 5% greater bone density than consuming them once a month or less.
A daily onion habit was also linked to a hip fracture risk that was decreased by more than 20%!
A 2015 study out of Taiwan also found that older gals’ bone mineral density could be improved… simply by DRINKING onion juice!
But it appears that onions have MORE going for them than just sulfur.
Animal research has shown how a certain type of onion extract can help beat back a hallmark of the degenerative bone disease known as osteoporosis.
I’m talking about keeping bones from getting too thin… thanks to a plant chemical known as GPCS.
Specifically, GPCS is a protein building block known as a peptide…
And it appears to help CURB bone loss by BLOCKING the loss of bone minerals, like calcium… and by INHIBITING the activity of “bone-eating” cells (a.k.a. osteoclasts).
Unfortunately, you can’t find GPCS right now in supplement form on its own…
But fortunately, whole onions contain GPCS and calcium… as well as the sulfur I mentioned earlier!
They’re also PACKED with antioxidants.
And the more pungent the flavor… the more potent the antioxidant action.
Keep in mind that while red onions may be the strongest antioxidant powerhouse… GPCS is actually found in white onions.
If you don’t care for the oniony flavor, look for full-spectrum onion bulb supplements from a quality maker you trust at your local health food store or online.
