Eggplant is a high-fiber, low- calorie fruit that's used in many dishes and boasts a host of potential health benefits.
Aubergine also known as Eggplant are fruits originally native to the India now found throughout the world in different cuisines.
Eggplants have a high water content with almost nocholesterolor fat and are a source of vitamin C, vitamin K, magnesium, phosphorus, copper, dietary fiber, folic acid, potassium, and manganese.
Health Benefits of Eggplants
Aid in Digestion
Eggplants, like many other vegetables, are good sources of dietary fiber. Fiber is essential for gastrointestinal health, as well as for regular bowel movements. It bulks up your stool so it passes more easily through the digestive tract, while also stimulating peristaltic motion, the contraction of the smooth muscles that help food pushed out of the body.
Weight Loss
Eggplants contain a minimal amount of fat or cholesterol and high water content, they are very healthy food for people trying to lose weight or battling obesity. Full of Fiber, helping us to reduce our appetite.
Anti-cancer Potential
Extracts found In the peel, has shown potential as a topical treatment in killing skin cancer cells, when used topically in a cream formulation, can be effective in the treatment of large non-melanoma skin cancers.
Improve Bone Health
They contain phenolic compounds. These compounds have been linked to reduce signs of osteoporosis, stronger bones, and increased bone mineral density in certain populations. Eggplants also have significant amounts of iron and calcium, also integral to bone health and overall strength.
Prevent Anemia
Anaemia is characterised by headaches, fatigue, weakness, depression, and even cognitive malfunction. Eating foods high in iron may help combat anemia, and eggplants are iron-containing food, also rich in copper, another essential component of red blood cells (RBCs), just like iron. Without these two minerals, the red blood cells in the body cannot function normally. With healthier red blood cells coursing through your veins, you will see a noticeable boost in energy and strength, which will eliminate feelings of fatigue
Improve Brain Function
Eggplants are a wonderful source of hytonutrients, which have long been thought to assist in boosting cognitive activity and general mental health. They not only defend against the free radical activity but also increase blood flow to the brain. Phytonutrients and potassium–which acts as a vasodilator assisting in widening blood vessels–could be considered “brain boosters,” delivering more oxygen-rich blood to the brain.

Eating too much SUGAR can make you gain weight and cause tooth decay.
"free sugars".
• Sugars added to food/drinks. Biscuits, chocolate, flavoured yoghurts, cereals, fizzy drinks.
• Natural Sugars in honey, syrups (such as maple, agave and golden), nectars, unsweetened fruit juices, vegetable juices and smoothies.
Sugar found naturally in milk, fruit and vegetables DOES NOT count as free sugars.
We do not need to cut down on these sugars, but remember that they are included in the "total sugar" figure found on food labels.
How much sugar can we eat?
NhS The government recommends that free sugars, should not make up more than 5% of the energy (calories) you get from food and drink each day.
Adults
30g of free sugars a day, (roughly equivalent to 7 sugar cubes).
Kids7-10 max 24g (6 cubes)
Kids 4-6 Max 19g (5 cubes).
Under the age of 4, AVOID sugar drinks/food
For example, a can of cola can have as much as 9 cubes of sugar – more than the recommended daily limit
