Protect the cardiovascular system
The nutritional value of eggplant lays the foundation for cardiovascular protection. Eggplant is rich in vitamin P, which can enhance the adhesion between human cells, effectively enhance the elasticity of capillaries and reduce the brittleness and permeability of low capillaries. Therefore, eating more eggplant can prevent microvascular bleeding and keep our cardiovascular function normal.
Anti-wrinkle
Anti-aging is also an aspect that reflects the nutritional value of eggplant. Eggplant can enhance the activity of antioxidant substances in the body and has obvious effect on reducing free radicals. In addition, eggplant contains vitamin E, which has the functions of preventing bleeding and resisting aging. Eating eggplant regularly can prevent the cholesterol level in the blood from rising, which has positive significance for delaying human aging. Moreover, eggplant only contains extremely low calories, so women who are afraid of gaining weight may wish to eat more.
Prevention and treatment of gastric cancer
Solanine rich in eggplant can inhibit the proliferation of digestive system tumors and has a certain therapeutic effect on the prevention and treatment of gastric cancer. Many people like to remove the eggplant skin before cooking, but in fact, the highest content of solanine is eggplant skin, which has the strongest anticancer activity. Therefore, in order to give full play to the nutritional value of this eggplant, I suggest that you don't peel it before eating it.
Although eggplant is rich in nutritional value, how to eat eggplant is also very important. Only a healthy diet can maximize the nutritional value of eggplant. Many people like fried eggplant, and some people like fish-flavored eggplant. However, this method of eating eggplant will not only exert the nutritional value of eggplant, but also endanger human health. The best way to eat eggplant is cold eggplant.
In order to reduce the loss of eggplant nutrition, the temperature should be selected when steaming eggplant, and the time for steaming eggplant should be shortened to the shortest. Mix eggplant with less oil, preferably olive oil. Because the fat content of olive oil is very low, and olive oil itself also contains protein, vitamins and other nutrients, combined with eggplant to eat together, is very beneficial to health.
Eggplant is not only good for people, but also useful for eggplant seedlings. If there is chilblain in winter, you can use two or three eggplant seedlings (rooted) and then boil them in water for another 20 minutes, and then you can soak them in this water or rub them on them.
