Onions do not protect against influenza and SARS viruses
Onion phytoncides cannot kill influenza and SARS viruses. Onions and garlic can only be protected by the fact that people will keep a distance between themselves because of the pungent and unpleasant smell. Alexey Kalinchev, an endocrinologist, nutritionist, nutritionist, spoke about this in a conversation with URA.RU.
“Onions are a source of phytoncides, biologically active substances that can suppress the growth and reproduction of flora pathogenic for plants. Please note, for plants, not for humans. For humans, their value is greatly overestimated, they have no medical use. Onion phytoncides cannot kill the influenza virus or SARS. You should not count on it,” Alexey Kalinchev explained.
According to the nutritionist, onions and garlic can only protect against infection due to the distance that will be created due to the unpleasant odor. “In fact, onions, like garlic, can protect you from infection during the SARS epidemic, but more due to the distance that people will keep with you because of the pungent and unpleasant smell coming from your mouth,” Kalinchev said. .
At the same time, the nutritionist noted that onions can harm. “With onions, you need to be more careful for people who have chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (gastrointestinal tract) in the acute stage. With the same recurrence of gastritis, onions should be excluded from the diet. Conversely, the abuse of onions can lead to an exacerbation of chronic gastritis in remission, ”summed up the agency’s interlocutor.
All-Russian Onion Day is celebrated on September 9th. Few urban residents know about this holiday, but in the villages and villages, festivals and fairs are held in honor of the onion.
