THERE IS A WIDE SPECTRUM OFPHYTONUTRIENTS IN EGGPLANT
EXHIBITING A GOOD ANTIOXIDANTACTIVITY: CAFFEIC, CHLOROGENIC ACID
AND NASUNIN. CHLOROGENIC ACID ISALSO CONSIDERED A POTENT
ANTIOXIDANT WITH MANY PROVENBENEFITS. NASUNIN IS A FLAVONOID
WITH POWERFUL ANTIOXIDANTCAPACITY.

THE HIGH POTASSIUM-TO-SODIUM RATIOIS BENEFICIAL IN PREVENTING
HYPERTENSION. MOREOVER, THENASUNIN IN THE SKIN OF THE EGGPLANT
IS AN EXCELLENT ANTIANGIOGENICPHYTONUTRIENT HELP CONTROL
HYPERTENSION BY RESTRICTING THEGROWTH OF NEW BLOOD VESSELS ANDKEEPING BLOOD VESSELS CLEAR AND
RELAX.

EGGPLANT HAS BEEN CALLED “BRAINFOOD” BECAUSE OF ITS WONDERFUL
CONTENT OF PHYTONUTRIENTS KNOWNAS BOOSTERS FOR COGNITIVE ACTIVITYAND GENERAL MENTAL HEALTH. THESE
PHYTOCHEMICALS INCREASE BLOODFLOW AND THUS MORE OXYGEN TO THEBRAIN; STIMULATES THE DEVELOPMENTOF NEURAL PATHWAYS; AND BOOST THEMEMORY AND ANALYTICAL CAPABILITY
OF OUR BRAIN.

EGGPLANT IS ALSO A GREAT SOURCE OFVITAMIN B1, B3 AND B6. THE GROUP OF B-VITAMINS PLAYS AN ESSENTIAL ROLE INTHE PROPER FUNCTION OF THE CENTRALNERVOUS SYSTEM, ENERGY PRODUCTION,
HORMONE BALANCE AND LIVERFUNCTION.

ANTIOXIDANTS ARE ONE OF THE BODY’SBEST LINES OF DEFENSE AGAINST A WIDE
VARIETY OF CANCERS. DIETARYANTIOXIDANTS SCAVENGE THE FREE
RADICALS, WHICH ARE BY-PRODUCTS OFNORMAL CELLULAR METABOLISM IN OURBODY THAT CAN ATTACK HEALTHY CELLS
AND DECONSTRUCT THE DNA INTOPOTENTIAL CARCINOGENIC CELLS.

EGGPLANT IS AN UNUSUAL VEGETABLETHAT HELPS BUILD STRONG BONES AND
PREVENT OSTEOPOROSIS. THISWONDERFUL BENEFIT FOR BONE HEALTH
IS PRIMARILY DERIVED FROM ITSVITAMIN AND MINERAL CONTENT. THEPHENOLIC COMPOUNDS IN EGGPLANT
PEELS HAVE BEEN LINKED TO REDUCEDSIGNS OF OSTEOPOROSIS, STRONGER
BONES AND INCREASED BONE MINERALDENSITY.

FIRSTLY, THE HIGH FIBER AND LOWSOLUBLE CARBOHYDRATE CONTENT OF
EGGPLANT MAKE IT A HEALTHIER CHOICEPEOPLES WITH HIGH POSTPRANDIAL
GLUCOSE LEVEL. SECONDLY, THEANTHOCYANINS PRESENT IN THE PEEL OF
EGGPLANT IS A POTENT INHIBITOR OFDIGESTIVE ENZYMES SUCH AS ALPHA-GLUCOSIDASE AND ALPHA-AMYLASE.

THE FIBER CONTENT OF THE EGGPLANTHELPS TO REDUCE CHOLESTEROL ANDRELAX BLOOD VESSELS, BOTH AIDS TOMAINTAIN GOOD HEART HEALTH. THE
ANTIOXIDANTS IN EGGPLANT HELPELIMINATE OXIDATIVE STRESS TO THECARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM AND THUS
DECREASE THE RISK OF HEART ATTACKAND HEART DISEASE.

EGGPLANT IS A GOOD SOURCE OF DIETARYFIBER WHICH IS KNOWN TO BE CRITICAL
FOR GASTROINTESTINAL HEALTH. ONEWHOLE UNPEELED EGGPLANT HAS MORE
THAN 16 G OF FIBER. ONE CUP OFEGGPLANT CONTAINS ABOUT 8% OF THE
DAILY VALUES OF DIETARY FIBER.INGESTION OF ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF
FIBER HELP TO STIMULATE YOUR BOWELMOVEMENT, RELIEVE CONSTIPATION,
HEMORRHOIDS AND COLITIS.

SINCE EGGPLANT CONTAINS ALMOST NOFAT OR CHOLESTEROL AND AT THE SAME
TIME CONTAINS A LARGE AMOUNT OFFIBER, IT IS A VERY GOOD CHOICE FORTHOSE TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT OR
FIGHT OBESITY PROBLEMS. THE FIBERINHIBITS THE RELEASE OF GHRELIN, THE
HORMONE THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FORSIGNALING THE HUNGER TO OUR BRAIN.

EATING EGGPLANT BOOST YOUR DIETARYFIBER INTAKE WHICH IS KNOWN TO BE
LINKED TO A REDUCTION IN HEARTDISEASE. IT REDUCES THE RISK OF
ATHEROSCLEROSIS, HEART ATTACKS ANDSTROKES BY ELIMINATING THE “BAD”
CHOLESTEROL (LDL CHOLESTEROL) THATCAN CLOG ARTERIES AND VEINS, ANDSTIMULATE THE UPTAKE OF “GOOD”CHOLESTEROL (HDL CHOLESTEROL).
