fruits and vegetables<\/a>.<\/p>\nKnown scientifically as Solanum lycopersicum, the tomato is the berry of a plant in the nightshade family, native to South America. Although technically a fruit, the tomato is generally classified as a vegetable. Tomatoes are the leading dietary source of the antioxidant lycopene, which has been linked to many health benefits, including a reduced risk of heart disease and cancer. They are also a great source of vitamin C, potassium, folate, and vitamin K.<\/p>\n
They are usually red when ripe, but can come in a variety of colors, including yellow, orange, green, and purple. There are also many subspecies of tomatoes, with different shapes and flavors. Eating tomatoes and tomato products has been linked to many benefits in terms of heart disease, cancer prevention, and skin health.<\/p>\n
Heart health<\/h2>\n
Cardiovascular disease, including heart attacks and strokes, is the world\u2019s most common cause of death. A study of middle-aged men found that low blood levels of lycopene and beta-carotene were linked to an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes.<\/p>\n
Increasing evidence from clinical trials shows that lycopene supplementation is effective in reducing LDL cholesterol. Clinical trials of tomato products have also shown benefits against inflammation and markers of oxidative stress.<\/p>\n
They also show a protective effect on the inner layer of our blood vessels and can decrease the risk of blood clotting.<\/p>\n
Cancer prevention<\/h2>\n
Cancer is a generic term for the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells that spread beyond their normal boundaries, often invading other parts of the body. Observational studies have found links between tomatoes, tomato products, and lower incidence of prostate, lung, and stomach cancers.<\/p>\n
The high lycopene content is thought to be the main reason for these protective effects, but high-quality human trials are needed to confirm this. A study in women shows that high concentrations of carotenoids, found in large quantities in tomatoes, may protect against the development of breast cancer.<\/p>\n
Skin health<\/h2>\n
Tomatoes are considered beneficial for skin health. Tomato-based foods rich in lycopene and other plant compounds may protect against sunburn. According to one study, there were 40% fewer sunburns after eating 40 grams of tomato paste (providing 16 mg of lycopene) with olive oil, every day for 10 weeks.<\/p>\n
