It is said that often eating eggplant can help prevent and treat hypertension, coronary heart disease, arteriosclerosis, cerebral thrombosis, hemorrhagic purpura, age spots and other disorders.
Eggplant is a purple vegetable, which contains many nutritional ingredients, including protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other nutrients. Especially, eggplant is rich in vitamin P. 100 grams eggplant contains 750 mg of vitamin P – this is much higher than other fruits and vegetables. Eggplant skin contains even more vitamin P, so it is recommended to eat eggplant with skin. Vitamin P has effects to maintain the flexibility and normal functioning of the blood vessel walls, thus prevent them from hardening and cracking. Often eating eggplant can help control high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, arteriosclerosis, hemorrhagic purpura and other related diseases.
