Reduce the Risk of Heart Disease

Some studies show that eggplants may help lower the risk of heart disease due to their antioxidant content. Rabbits with elevated cholesterol were given 0.3 ounces (10 mL) of eggplant juice every day for two weeks in one research. They had decreased levels of both LDL cholesterol and triglycerides at the conclusion of the research, two blood indicators that, when raised, can contribute to an increased risk of heart disease.

Other research has shown that eggplants may have a heart-protective impact. For 30 days, animals were given either raw or grilled eggplant in one research. Both methods enhanced cardiac function and lowered the severity of heart attacks. While these findings are encouraging, it is worth noting that present research is confined to animal and test-tube investigations. More study is needed to determine how eggplants may influence human heart health.
