What happens if you eat too much onion?

Onion is the most planted vegetable in the world, and its nutritional value is very high, known as the "Queen of Vegetables".

Onions not only contain nutrients that the body needs, but onions also have many medicinal properties, including antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-virus and so on.

It should be mentioned that onions contain some fructans, which most vegetables do not.

Fructan is a carbohydrate with health-care functions, which can reduce the production of tumor-related substances and has a good effect on preventing cancer and other chronic diseases.

Fructan is also a nutrient for good bacteria in the gut, which can increase the number of good bacteria.

However, There May Be Some Side Effects after eating too much onion.

There are no enzymes in the gut that can decompose fructans, so fructans cannot be digested and absorbed by body.

Large amounts of fructans accumulate in the gut and may cause gut problems such as bloating, abdominal pain, gas, and cramping.

Therefore, you can't eat too many onions, and it is advisable to eat 50 grams to 80 grams a day.

What happens to the brain if you do not sleep at night?

The world record for the longest time gone without sleep is 264 hours - 11 days.

It was set by a 17-year old, Randy Gardner under lab conditions. Prior to this endeavour, Randy was an extremely fit athlete. Yet, the question that remained on everybody’s mind was:

Will Randy survive this experiment and will he be the same afterwards?

Day 1 without sleep

After 24 hours of no sleep, Randy felt drowsy, irritable and stressed.

Although the teenager did not consume any alcohol, his blood alcohol levels were at 0.10 BAC. The maximum amount allowed to drive on the road is 0.08 BAC.

At this point, your body also starts “local sleep”.

This means that while you may be awake, certain parts of your brain will be rested. This can affect your appetite and hormone levels.

Day 2 without sleep

48 hours without sleep. Randy would occasionally lose consciousness for a few seconds. This is known as “microsleep” and is a protection mechanism.

Day 3 without sleep

Honestly, after 72 hours, your brain simply stops working correctly. Randy lost his ability to taste, smell or feel objects properly.

Most people will feel very depressed at this stage.

Day 3–11 without sleep

You lose the sense of reality.

Most people who have arrived at this stage, including Randy, start hallucinating and becoming paranoid of everything. Your brain has officially given off.

Recovery

On the 11th day of no sleep, Randy finally collapsed. He slept for 14 hours only to wake up, grab some water and go back to bed.

Randy felt very tired for the next couple of days. Yet, the human body is extremely resilient. Eventually, he started sleeping normally and just 7–8 days after his experiment, he went back to school.

This experiment was carried out in 1963. At the age of 79, Randy remains healthy, fit and happy. Through merely looking at him, nobody could have imagined that this man did not sleep for 11 consecutive days when he was younger.

Test your Eyesight 👁👀

Stop waiting for ‘One Day’

‘One day’ doesn’t exist. It isn’t going to come. No calendar in the world has a day called ‘one day’.

Stop waiting for this fictitious day to start getting fit. Stop believing that ‘one day’ you will start spending more time with your family. You postpone your life when you tell yourself that one day you will pay attention to the issues and people that matter the most.

Make smaller plans but get something done. Make progress. Don’t start today…start now!

May Allah accept Our Good deeds 🤲🏼
