For those who have been eating tomatoes regularly,you better have a rethink.
These are some of the health benefits:
1. Tomatoes
help prevent several types of cancer
A number of studies
have been conducted that indicate that the high levels of lycopene in tomatoes
works to reduce your chances of developing prostate, colorectal and stomach
cancer.
Lycopene is a natural
antioxidant that works effectively to slow the growth of cancerous cells. Cooked
tomatoes produce even more lycopene, so go ahead and cook up a batch of your
mom’s famous tomato soup.
2. Tomatoes
are good for your skin
Tomatoes contain a
high level of lycopene, which is a substance that is used in some of the more
pricy facial cleansers that are available for purchase over-the-counter.
If you want to try
tomatoes for skin care, you need to start with about eight to twelve tomatoes.
Peel the tomatoes and then place the skin on your face with inside of the
tomato touching your skin.
Leave the tomatoes on
your face for a minimum of ten minutes, then wash. Your face will feel clean
and shiny. Some redness may occur, but should fade with time.
3. Tomatoes
help repair damage caused by smoking
No, eating tomatoes is
not the most recent fad to help you quit smoking. However, tomatoes can reduce
the amount of damaged done to your body by smoking cigarettes.
4. Tomatoes
help maintain strong bones
Tomatoes contain a
considerable amount of calcium and Vitamin K. Both of these nutrients are
essential in strengthening and performing minor repairs on the bones as well as
the bone tissue.
