What is nasunin in eggplant?

Nasunin is high on the list of potent antioxidants. In this capacity it helps to neutralize free radicals, making it an excellent anti-aging phytonutrient. Nasunin has many additional health benefits. It has antiangiogenic properties which help it to fight cancer by restricting the growth of new blood vessels. It also helps keep blood vessels clear and relaxed.

Biologically, nasunin functions by scavenging excess iron in the body and thereby preventing a free radical chain reaction that damages cells. In this way it is protective of brain cells and other parts of the nervous system.

The most prominent natural source of nasunin is in the skin of eggplants. It was first isolated from the plant in 1933. This is what gives eggplant fruits the dark purplish-blue coloration. In eggplants it functions to protect the plant from environmental damage, especially from the sun.

Currently, nasunin is not found in any commercially available supplements. However, because of its amazing properties nasunin supplementation will likely be available in the form of capsules in the near future.

How do you keep your brain fresh?

In order to keep your brain "fresh" people should make sure that they use both their right and their left brains daily. Each brain has a different use, making each brain need different things to help keep them in tune. For example, your brain is like a piano, or any instrument for that matter, it needs tuning every once in a while to keep it working like new. The right brain is used for dealing with the intuitive and creative side of your life. It handles all your rememberance of symbols and images and face recognition. It also contains your imagination, beliefs and fantasy. The left brain is used for dealing with speech, reading, writing, math and science and rational, literal, and practical analysis. So ways to keep your brain fresh are things such as trying to find your way to a place you've never driven or walked to before, focusing your attention on a certain person or thing, or try doing something in either silence or with your eyes closed. If these are not things you enjoy or want to try you can do things such as soduko puzzles, word searches, color a picture, or play scrabble with a friend. (These mainly focus on the left side of your brain though.) Sources used: * http://www.brainskills.co.uk/DifferenceBetweenLeftRightBrain.html * http://www.neurobics.com/exercise.html

Is Barney a dinosaur or an eggplant?

Although Barney does VERY much look like an idiotic walking talking eggplant that's too pinkish and has green on it, I searched on Wikipedia and it said that Barney is supposed to be a Tyrannosaurus Rex, and yet despite his character being the most vicious dinosaur of them all, he eats vegetables and fruits and prefers peanut butter jelly sandwiches more than anything else. Also, there is/was a complaint that Barney didn't teach children about how to solve problems, but made them think that every problem was automatically and immediately solved.

By the way, I got ALL of the information on Wikipedia, because I think Barney is a dumb show, but you have your own opinion.
