More than 7,000 years ago, the onion (Allium cepa L.), often known as the common onion or bulb onion, was first cultivated. White, red, and yellow onions are the three basic types of onions.

According to World Health Organization, the Okinawans (native to the Ryukyu Islands) have the longest life expectancy of any nation in the world. It was discovered that they regularly eat a lot of different vegetables, including onions.

Several studies have shown that onions assist in the production of luteinizing hormone which affects testosterone production.

Additionally, it improves the antioxidant defence system in the testes, lowers insulin resistance, and counteracts the harmful effects of the free radicals in the testes.
