Tomato is considered a super food. It is a powerhouse of nutrients that are antioxidants which help fight ageing as well as cancer.
A research indicates that a diet rich in tomatoes can help metabolise sugar and fat in the body, both responsible for cancer.
Tomatoes are rich in a red coloured pigment and nutrient Lycopene. This is an antioxidant that has potential to regulate hormone adiponectin that regulates the fat and blood sugars in body.
Tomato is a fruit and not a vegetable but its taste allows it be used in savoury dishes rather than sweet. The antioxidant lycopene is absorbed better in the body if cooked in a little bit of oil and hence cooking doesn’t damage the nutrient power of tomatoes.
