Pretty in Purple

If you want to protect your body from free-radical damage, add some color

to your dinner plate by serving purple eggplant.

The compound delphinidin, an anthocyanin found in the purple skin of

eggplant, has been shown to exert a high degree of antioxidant activity.

Antioxidants help to protect cells against free radicals, highly reactive

molecules associated with the development of cancer and disease.

RealAge Benefit: Eating a diverse diet that includes 5 servings of

vegetables per day can make your RealAge as much as 4 years younger.
