Eggplant makes you lose weight

Why did we select eggplant to help us slim down and reduce our waistline?

• Eggplant is very rich in water and fiber, which makes it a satiating food. That is, you will not feel the need to eat other foods that make you fat and that do not bring any feeling of fullness.
• It is low in calories and the body expends more calories digesting it than consuming it.
• It is diuretic, and therefore helps us eliminate excess fluids from our body. Eggplant is very effective when we are feeling bloated.
• In case you suffer from constipation, which is also the cause of an excessively large belly, eggplant helps us to fight against it in a natural way thanks to its high fiber content.
  In this way, the intestines will function better, will not become inflamed and thus will not create an enlargement at the level of the waistline.
• Eggplants contain an amount of minerals that help us balance the nervous system.
  This is fundamental to avoid anxiety and binge eating because at these times we eat too much, without chewing, and high calorie foods.

• Eggplant facilitates the functioning of the liver and the gallbladder, which is essential for proper digestion, especially fats. In this way, we will assimilate the food better and we will prevent it from turning into reserves.
• Finally, eggplant also has the purifying properties that help us eliminate toxins from our body, which, in addition to reducing the accumulation of fat, allows us to get rid of toxic substances that can be the cause of multiple diseases in the future.
