Snack on a Tomato!

Posted in aging, skin cancer, Tomato by Satya on April 1, 2009

Add a grain of salt or sugar if you are allowed. You do not even have to slice it, you can munch on it directly!

You can look younger and prevent skin cancer at the same time.

Plus you will eat less other kinds of snacks an are bound to lose a few extra pounds.

I am going to eat another tomato.. right now….

Excerpt below : Quoted from http://www.topnews.in/health/tomatoes-your-food-can-help-protect-against-wrinkles-skin-cancer-22206

“the universities of Manchester and Newcastle, who found that adding just five tablespoons of tomato paste to the daily diet can improve the skin’s ability to protect against harmful UV rays. … the protective effect was due to the antioxidant lycopene that is found at its highest concentration when the fruit has been cooked…. The tomato diet boosted the level of procollagen in the skin significantly. These increasing levels suggest potential reversal of the skin ageing process ”
