BRINJAL/EGGPLANT

     Brinjal, also known as Baingan and Vrintak in Ayurveda, is a nutritious food that is high in minerals, vitamins, and fibre while being low in calories.

     Brinjal may aid in weight loss because it is low in calories and high in dietary fibres, which aid in digestion and metabolism. It also keeps you feeling fuller for longer, which helps to prevent overeating.

     Brinjal also helps to manage cholesterol levels, which helps to keep the heart healthy. Its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties may also aid in the relief of pain and inflammation. Brinjal should be avoided in excess because it can cause stomach pain or abdominal discomfort.

Benefits :

Hair Thinning :

     Brinjal, when applied to the scalp, helps to control hair loss and promote hair growth. This is because hair loss is caused primarily by an aggravated Vata dosha in the body. Brinjal prevents hair loss by balancing the Vata dosha. Brinjal helps to remove excess oil from the scalp and keeps it clean due to its Vata balancing and Kshaya (astringent) properties.


Anti-wrinkle :

     Wrinkles develop as a result of ageing, dry skin, and a lack of moisture. According to Ayurveda, it appears due to an aggravated Vata. Brinjal helps in controlling wrinkles due to its Vata balancing property. It also restores the moisture in the skin when used with olive oil. 


Aid In Control Of Diabetes :

     Eggplants are high in fibre and low in soluble carbohydrates. As a result, they are extremely beneficial for regulating blood sugar levels as well as controlling glucose absorption. As a result, they are the best option for people with type 2 diabetes.


Eggplant Is Good For Heart :

     The eggplant lowers cholesterol levels significantly. It also aids in the stabilisation of blood pressure. All of this reduces the risk of heart disease. Because of the potassium content in this vegetable, the body is also kept hydrated. This ensures that there is no fluid retention, thereby preventing coronary heart disease.


Helpful To The Brain :

     Eggplant contains phytonutrients that protect cell membranes from damage and facilitate message transfer from one part to another, thereby preserving memory function. 


Helps In Iron Production :

     We all need iron to function properly in our daily lives. Too much iron in the body, on the other hand, is not a good sign. The nasunin content of eggplant aids in the removal of excess iron from the body. This reduces the risk of having a heart attack by reducing the presence of free radicals in one's system.


Facilitates Weight Loss : 

     Eggplant has a high water content but a low calorie count. This feature makes it an excellent choice as a healthy diet for people looking to lose weight. Because the spongy texture of the vegetable facilitates these characteristics, it should be consumed in its natural form as much as possible. 


Helps Indigestion :

     The high fibre content of brinjals keeps the digestive system healthy and safe. This also prevents constipation. Colon cancer is also no longer a possibility.


Keeps Chronic Deseases At Bay :

     Eggplant has been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke.


Helps Quit Smoking :

     Eggplant contains a trace of nicotine, which aids in the gradual cessation of smoking.


Antibacterial Properties :

     Because eggplant contains a high concentration of vitamin C, it is an effective anti-viral and anti-bacterial source. 


Side Effects :

  • Despite all of the health benefits that eggplant provides, excessive consumption of this vegetable may have some negative effects on your body.
  • Nasunin is a phytochemical found in eggplants that can bind to and remove iron from cells.
  • The oxalates in this vegetable can cause kidney stones.
  • Eggplant is a member of the nightshade vegetable family, which can cause allergic reactions in some people if consumed in large quantities.
