I love tomatoes. I eat as many as I can as often as I can. I prefer fresh on the vine when I can get them. Tomatoes which contain lycopene can be crucial to your health as a cancer fighter. Including prostate cancer. There are 30mg of lycopene in 1 cup of tomatoes. Tomatoes are good for your skin as well as many other benefits such as a liver enhancer, cholesterol, diabetes, asthma, the list goes on and on. I am just reading how good tomatoes are for your hair. Who knew? Tomatoes being high in potassium is a much needed mineral which also helps relieve leg cramps, but is low in calories and sodium . Tomatoes are also a healthy weight balance choice. Although tomato juice is a good choice for a long hike or just a energetic day in the sun, too much sodium from canned or juiced tomatoes can make your body retain water causing bloating and weight gain.
Tomatoes are also beneficial as a topical antiseptic, a cleanser, aides in the survival of plants and is useful as an insect repellent.
