SERENE CHATS: You’ll eat this for the yum factor, but there’s a lot more than just yum going on here. Eggplant is rich in fiber but low in calories and satiates the appetite. It does this by powerfully regulating your blood sugar and inhibiting your hunger hormone ghrelin through high amounts of both soluble and insoluble fiber. Suffering from foggy thinking? Eggplant can help. It has a substance called nasunin, which studies show inhibits detrimental behavior in the brain. The dark purple color means it is teaming with phytonutrients that boost mental health and cognitive activity.
It wields a fierce axe against the free radicals that scavenge your brain and cause neural degeneration. Eggplant delivers oxygen-rich blood to the brain, which helps neural pathways flourish and stimulates memory and analytic thought. It is also an abundant source of potassium, which is known as a vasodilator and widens blood vessels to the brain. I chose to add MCT oil because it is ultimate brain fuel and has even been clinically studied to reverse dementia.
This dip is brain food on steroids! By adding a scoop or two of our grass-fed collagen powder we amp up this beautifying, body-repairing food. Let’s dig in and feast our brain and bodies strong! Dip on-plan breads and crackers—such as Beauty Blend Savory Sesame Crackers (page 504)—or crudités into it or use it as a side.
