3. Can.cer Prevention:
Eggplant contains polyphenols, anthocyanins, and chlorogenic acid, which may protect against cancer by preventing cell damage caused by free radicals.
Anthocyanins help prevent tumor growth by:
- Inhibiting new blood vessel formation in tumors
- Reducing inflammation
- Blocking enzymes that promote can.cer cell spread
4. Cognitive Function:
Animal studies suggest that nasunin, an anthocyanin found in eggplant skin, may protect brain cell membranes from free radical da.mage.
Nasunin also aids in nutrient transport into cells and waste removal.
Additionally, anthocyanins help:
- Reduce neuroinflammation
- Improve blood flow to the brain
- Prevent memory loss and age-related cognitive decline
Lab tests indicate that nasunin can slow lipid peroxidation in the brain, a process that da.mages cells.
