What are the benefits of eating tomatoes?

In addition to the functions of fruits and vegetables, tomatoes also have magical therapeutic and health-care effects. It was reported that doctors in a British hospital used tomatoes as a supplementary food for the treatment of patients with coronary heart disease and liver disease, and achieved good results. Tomatoes also contain fine cellulose, which can not be underestimated in promoting the excretion of corrupted food in the intestines and lowering cholesterol.

Tomato Introduction:

Malic acid and citric acid in tomatoes can help gastric juice digest and absorb proteins and fats. Tomatoes can also inhibit a variety of bacteria and fungi, which is beneficial to the recovery of oral inflammation. They have the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, promoting fluid production and promoting diuresis, cooling blood and calming the liver, and lowering blood pressure. In recent years, it has been found that glutathione contained in tomatoes has anti-cancer effects and may also delay the aging of certain cells.

So, how to eat tomatoes? It is best to eat them raw. If you eat cooked tomatoes, at least 30% of the vitamins will be lost, so it is better to eat them raw, but you must wash them before eating. Be careful not to eat tomatoes on an empty stomach. When you are on an empty stomach, gastric acid and the colloid and other substances in tomatoes will cause a chemical reaction and form stones. Unripe tomatoes should not be eaten either. Unripe tomatoes contain tomatine, which often causes astringent and uncomfortable taste in the mouth after eating. In severe cases, poisoning may occur, with symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness and fatigue.
