What does tomatoes have in them that makes them one of the healthiest foods. They have outstanding antioxidant content. Tomatoes are a treasure of riches when it comes to their antioxidant benefits.

 

SUN PROTECTION :-

Lycopene found in tomatoes is one of the compounds known collectively as carotenoids. A large volume of research has shown for decades that carotenoids help protect skin against sun damage.

 

REDUCE RISK OF CANCER :-

The incidence and risk for most types of cancer tends to increase with age. Research in the CMAJ:  the Canadian Medical Association Journal found that the risk of serious chronic diseases like cancer is reduced with increased tomato consumption. Although lycopene has been credited, the scientists found that other nutrients in tomatoes may play a role.

 

PROTECTS FROM HARMFUL BACTERIA :-

Lycopene, widely considered the most potent antioxidant of the carotenoids, is a powerful antioxidant that not only protects against UV damage it also helps protect against damaging bacteria.

 

LOOK YOUNGER :-

Lycopene also appears to strengthen skin by inhibiting the activity of collagenases —enzymes involved in the breakdown of collagen in the skin. Collagen helps ensure the firmness and elasticity of your skin and prevents wrinkling.

 

REDUCE RISK OF CHRONIC DISEASES :-

When scientists analyzed the tissue and blood levels of lycopene in subjects, they found that those people with high levels of this nutrient, primarily found in tomatoes in the Western diet, had a lower risk of chronic diseases.

 

PROTECTS AGAINST TOXINS

Thanks again to their rich lycopene supply, tomatoes can help protect our bodies against the effects of toxins, especially aflatoxins (a type of mold often found in peanuts and peanut butter) and cadmium, which is found in cigarette smoke, second-hand smoke and frequently in air pollution.

 

IMPROVE HEART HEALTH :-

Numerous studies show that lycopene can assist with cardiovascular health. Heart disease is often attributed to poor diet and aging. Increased lycopene consumption helps to improve heart health and obviously helps to displace less healthy food choices in the diet.
