Why do I crave onions when I'm angry or stressed!?!?!?
Most women crave chocolate when they've reached their limit. I want anything and everything that has STRONG onions in it! Like today has been just "one of those days", so how do I handle it? I grab the phone and order a pizza with extra extra onions! I feel like a junkie because now that I've had my onion fix, I'm totally stress-free. What's up with that!?!
Answers:
Believe it or not, onions contain a variety of naturally occurring chemicals known as organosulfur compounds that have been linked to lowering blood pressure...so it actually makes sense that they could have a calming effect on you! I love onions, but have never noticed if I crave them when I'm feeling stressed...I'll have to watch that!
