Eat Tomatoes For Good Health!

Recommended Posts

Tomatoes are rich in fibre and Vitamins A and C. They are also cholesterol free. An average-sized tomato weighing about 150gm has only 35 calories.New medical research suggests that lycopene, the stuff that makes tomatoes red, may prevent several types of cancer such as lung, prostate, cervical, digestive tract and breast.Cooked tomatoes have higher concentrations of lycopene than non-cooked tomatoes.When you eat tomatoes which are cooked with a bit of olive oil, the nutrient aspects of tomatoes are absorbed more effectively.On a side note, there are more than 10,000 varieties of tomatoes in the world and the tomato is the world's most popular fruit.

Coming to health issue of tomatoes, there is a roomer that tomato with the combination of spinach may cause stones in kidney. Is it true. I eat tomatoes but I am afraid to go with the above combination when i heard that.

Nice, I ,love stewed tomatoes. I cant handle tomatoes in salads however I like them in sandwhitches. Im definietly doing to cook tomatoes more often with olive oil as well seeing the benefits of absorbtion. My favorite with tomatoes is wevos rancheroes (mexican eggs). Just Cook some eggs add some salsa and stewed tomatoes and its good to go.
