plaques that narrow blood cells.

They explain that in tomato here are compounds known as p coumaric acid and chlorogenic acid which stop the formation of carcinogenic compounds like Nitrosamine. The habit of meat product consumption increases the formation of the harmful compound in the body.
Eggplants are Beneficial As Well!

One good thing about it is that it has plenty of fiber; in slimming diets its grilled or boiled forms are applied with no limitations.

You are recommended to consume wholemeal bread along with your dish; Sangak and oat bread, for instance. The people in the north of the country usually serve with rice. You can do so if desired. Don't forget to consume yogurt mixed with wheat sprouts and grated cucumber beside your dish to complete a rich meal.If you are overweight, make sure to grill the eggplants and avoid frying. Instead of the eggs, apply mushrooms to reduce the gained calories remarkably. 3 to 4 pieces of Sangak (palm-sized) will be good too.
If you have kidney stones, you should limit consumption of the vegetable and only consume it every now and then as there is oxalate in eggplants.
