Check out these tips to lower cholesterol with lifestyle changes: 1  Reduce all fats in your diet. Pay particular attention to saturated fats.  Try to exercise 30 minutes a day. Go for a walk around the block after lunch or dinner, spend time in the garden, or ride bikes with the kids.
Dry the onion skins. After the onions are harvested, spread them out in a ventilated area so that the skins can harden. Do not remove the leaves. Allow the onions to cure for two to four weeks. Dry the onions in an area away from sunlight and humidity. Sunlight can taint the taste of the onions and make them bitter.
Any with soft spots or sprouts should be eaten immediately or discarded. Just as with onions, keep them in a cool, dry and dark space in a single layer. Onions and garlic will last in storage for three to six months, provided the environment is adequately dry and cool and the temperature is relatively stable. Uneven temperature can cause produce to spoil more quickly.
