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.
Onions are easy to dry, and being lightweight, they reconstitute easily. Peel and slice them in rings about 1/8 inch thick and put them in a dehydrator at about 140Â°F until they're nearly dry. To keep the pieces from browning, bring the temperature down to 130Â° F for the last hour or so and keep testing for dryness. If you don't own a dehydrator, try drying onions in your oven.
