SUPERFOOD // ZUCCHINI // EGGPLANT:

Zucchini and eggplant both offer impressive brain-boosting benefits. Zucchini is a great source of vitamin B6, a complex B vitamin that helps stimulate the production of serotonin and norepinephrine—neurotransmitters that play a key role in mood regulation, focus, and memory. Meanwhile, eggplant contains nasunin, a powerful antioxidant concentrated in its purple skin. Nasunin helps protect brain cell membranes from oxidative damage by neutralizing free radicals and maintaining healthy iron balance in the brain. This balance is essential, as excess iron can contribute to cognitive decline over time. Together, these vibrant vegetables support a sharper, more resilient brain.
