A TOMATO can help keep skin looking youthful. Tomatoes have been known to cut cholesterol and prevent some cancers. It also gives protection against sunburn.
Tomatoes must be consumed as much as possible- in pastas, salads, tomato juice, sauces. Some tomato components are more easily absorbed by the body when tomatoes are heated, either during cooking or processing. Carotenoids present in tomatoes are fat soluble, so adding a small amount of oil to tomatoes helps the body absorb the nutrients better.
