Tomato nutritional benefits and beauty value

Tomato is one of my favorite vegetables, so today I will tell you about the nutrition and effects of tomatoes:

Nutrition and efficacy

lose weight

1. Tomatoes are very low in calories, with only 16 calories per 100 grams. Tomatoes have little sugar, so you won’t get fat even if you eat more.

2. The dietary fiber is a good helper for cleansing the intestines and detoxifying. Not only can dietary fiber not be digested by the stomach and intestines, but it can also absorb cholesterol, fat and other substances in the body and excrete them with the stool, thus playing a role in weight loss.

3. The lycopene in tomatoes can reduce the body's calorie intake and reduce fat accumulation.

4. Tomatoes are high in water content, with 95 grams of water in every 100 grams of tomatoes, so they have a strong satiety effect. Moreover, these water contents can promote excretion and reduce the accumulation of toxins and fat.

Tomato freckle removal

1. Apply clean eggplant peel on your face. After a period of time, the small spots will not be so obvious.

2. Drinking a glass of tomato juice or eating tomatoes regularly every day can help prevent freckles. Tomatoes are rich in glutathione, which can inhibit melanin, thereby reducing or eliminating pigmentation.
