RespectedSir/s,
MORE ON TOMATO
Nutrition
· Pick the ripest tomatoes to get the most vitamins
· If one grows tomatoes, wait as long as one can topick them. Such
Vine-ripened tomatoes contain nearly twice the vitamin C andbeta-carotene .
· Choose the reddest tomatoes to get the mostantioxidants
The antioxidant lycopene is a red pigment found in tomatoes. Tomatoeswith the
most brilliant shades of red indicate the highest amounts of lycopeneand its
fellow antioxidant, beta-carotene.
· Eat cooked and canned tomatoes for even more healthbenefits.
· LYCOPENE, theantioxidant found in tomatoes in large quantities, is
located in cell walls.Cooking tomatoes releases lycopene to do its work.
Acombined analysis of 21 studies published in Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers
andPrevention showed thatmen who ate the highest amounts of raw tomatoes had an
11% reduction in riskfor prostate cancer. Those eating the mostcooked tomato
products fared evenbetter: their prostate cancer risk was reduced by 19%.
· Add a little fat to help nutrients be absorbed
Lycopeneis fat-soluble. That means one will get the maximum benefit of tomato
nutritionwhen tomatoes are absorbed in our body with the help of fats. Cook
tomatoes in a touch of olive oil or pair tomatoeswith a avocadoes (in small
amounts) to help our body absorb lycopene moreeasily.
· Eat tomatoes often. Since tomatoes have high watercontent and are low
in calories, eating them often can help one to feel fullwhile not adding extra
calories. Dieters can eat a lot of tomatoes and stilllimit their caloric intake.
· Eating tomatoes regularly is alsogood for our heart – one of theleading
benefits of tomato nutrition. In a study of40,000 women conducted at Brigham
and Women's Hospital (Boston, MA), those whoconsumed 7 to 10 servings each week
of tomato-based products were found to havea 29%lower risk of cardiovascular
disease compared to women eating less than 1.5 servingsof tomato products
weekly.
· Eating some tomatoes is better than eating none.Eating even small
amounts of tomatoes makes adifference. One study from Cancer Epidemiology
Biomarkers and Prevention showedjust one 6-ounce serving a day of raw tomato
helped reduce the risk of prostatecancer risk by 3%.
· Have tomatoes spinach salad. Spinachcontains high amounts of iron. It
alsocontains a high amount of oxalic acid, which prevents iron absorption. But
vitamin C can come to the rescue and help. It aids inthe absorption of iron.
Since tomatoes are an excellent source ofvitamin C, one will get more benefits
of the iron in spinach when one eatstomatoes (or another food source high in
vitamin C) along with this greenstuff.
· Combine tomatoes and broccoli for maximum benefits.
Eat 1.4 cups of raw broccoli and 2.5 cups of fresh tomato (or 1cup of tomato
sauce or ½ cup of tomato paste) daily to get best tomatonutrition
benefits.According to a study in Cancer Research, the tomato-broccoli
combination shrankprostate tumours in animals by 52%.
