\u00a0<\/span>Tomatoes<\/em>\u00a0are a good source of several vitamins and minerals. Vitamin C: An essential nutrient and antioxidant. One medium sized\u00a0tomato<\/em>\u00a0can provide about 28% of the recommended daily intake. Potassium: An essential mineral, beneficial for blood pressure control and cardiovascular disease prevention.<\/p>\n

Just one serving a day of tomato-based foods can have an incredibly beneficial effect on your health. Not only can they reduce heart disease, but they could potentially prevent and reverse dozens of diseases if eaten daily.\u00a0This is one fruit you don\u2019t want to leave out of your diet.<\/p>\n

Below are some of the health benefits of eating tomatoes;<\/h3>\n

1. Good for digestion<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Eating tomatoes daily can keep your digestive system healthy as it prevents both, constipation and diarrhoea. It also prevents jaundice and effectively removes toxins from the body.<\/p>\n

2. Improves vision<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Vitamin A, present in tomatoes, helps to improve your eyesight as well as prevent night-blindness and macular degeneration.<\/p>\n

3. Reduces risk of heart disease<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The lycopene in tomatoes can protect you against cardiovascular diseases. Consuming tomatoes regularly helps decrease the levels of cholesterol and triglyceride in the blood, reducing the deposition of fats in the blood vessels.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Skin Health<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Rich tomato components fight acne and prevent damage to skin cells. Studies have indicated that drinking two cups of tomato juice a day helps to improve the overall appearance of the skin in a short period of time.<\/p>\n

4. Reduces Breast Cancer Risk<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Breast cancer can also be reduced with tomatoes. Exciting research in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute shows that higher amounts of carotenoids may have a reduced risk of breast cancer. This includes alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin, lycopene, and total carotenoids .<\/p>\n
