Eggplant can prevent diseases

In recent years, research both at home and abroad has found that eggplants contain special nutrients. Eggplants are sweet in taste and cool in nature, rich in vitamins A, B, C, D, p, protein and calcium, which can make human blood vessels soft. Eggplant can also disperse blood stasis, thus reducing the probability of cerebral vascular embolism. Purple eggplant is rich in vitamin P, which can improve the fragility of capillaries and prevent small vessel bleeding. It has certain preventive and therapeutic effects on hypertension, arteriosclerosis, hemoptysis, purpura, etc. 2. It can prevent and treat hypercholesterolemia: The saponins contained in eggplant fiber have the effect of lowering cholesterol. Brazilian scientists conducted an experiment on obese rabbits. The result showed that the blood cholesterol content of a group of rabbits that consumed eggplant juice decreased by 10% compared to the control rabbits. 3. Anti-cancer: Eggplant contains solanine, which can inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells in the digestive tract, especially having an inhibitory effect on gastric cancer and rectal cancer. When some cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy have a fever, they can cook eggplant and eat it cold, which has the effect of reducing fever. Eggplant can also be used as an auxiliary therapeutic food for the above two types of cancer. 4. It can prevent and treat internal hemorrhoids and bloody stool: Eggplant has the effects of clearing heat, promoting blood circulation, reducing swelling and relieving pain. 5. It can reduce "age spots". Due to the gradual aging and hardening of blood vessels in the elderly, "age spots" (senile plaques) may appear on their skin. These spots grow from small to large as people age and merge into larger areas. Such small subcutaneous bleeding is often a precursor to a stroke. Eating more eggplants can significantly reduce age spots. Extracted from China Food Network
