Eggplant and Vegetable Soup
Beauty Dictionary
Eggplant is rich in vitamins A, B, C, and D. Vitamin D can enhance cell adhesion and has the functions of lowering blood lipids and promoting blood circulation.
Burdock contains vitamin C, calcium, oligosaccharides, and abundant dietary fiber. Dietary fiber can stimulate intestinal peristalsis, help with bowel movements, reduce the accumulation of toxins in the body, and cleanse the skin.

Beauty Dictionary and Health Tips
Chicken liver has a sweet taste and slightly warm nature. It is rich in vitamin A and the mineral iron. It can nourish the liver and improve eyesight, making the eyes bright and preventing dark circles.
Sunflower seeds contain vitamin E, which can prevent oxidation and promote blood circulation, making them an anti-aging superfood and a recognized hair-beautifying food. They are rich in linoleic acid, which helps regulate metabolism and maintain stable blood pressure. They also contain carotene, which can be converted into vitamin A, preventing dry, cracked skin.
Animal livers are a place where toxins accumulate. Although they are nutritious, it is important to take precautions to prevent ingesting toxins. When choosing chicken livers, opt for bright red and tender ones. Avoid those that are too pale or too dark in color. Pale livers indicate fatty liver, while hard and dark livers indicate cirrhotic liver.
