However, at present, most people value this berry for its taste, without trying to figure out what the benefits of eggplant are.

For health
Eggplant is the main enemy of cholesterol plaques, gout, atherosclerosis and various congestive processes in the gall bladder. The combination of iron and copper improves blood formation processes, and the presence of potassium has a beneficial effect on the work of the heart muscle.
An important nuance: the combination of trace elements such as manganese and zinc also speaks in favor of eggplant. More precisely, it makes it a mandatory part of the diet of people who have had a stroke. The fact is that a deficiency of manganese and zinc leads to the development of Parkinson's disease in this group of patients, and dishes from the "blue ones", in turn, help minimize the risk of its development.
A by-product that can be obtained from purple berries is juice. This is a universal remedy with a strong antiseptic and restorative effect. Lotions of eggplant juice provide early healing of wounds, and its ingestion stops the development of infections.
For harmony
In addition, the use of eggplant is a large number of ballast substances - special dietary fiber that cleanses the human gastrointestinal tract from toxins and toxins, as well as prevents the occurrence of constipation. By the way, ballast substances do not contain calories at all. Together with low calorie content, this allows you to include eggplant in almost any weight loss program. The main thing is that the purple berry should be steamed, without adding oil.
In addition, the diuretic properties of eggplant will help in the fight against extra pounds. Removing excess water from the body, it not only reduces the burden on internal organs and the vascular system, but also directly affects a person’s weight.
