Description
Tomatoes are packed with a powerful array of antioxidants. Among these, the most important are the four main carotenoids: alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, lutein, and lycopene. These four antioxidants work synergistically, so the presence of all four makes tomatoes a powerful antioxidant.
Tomatoes are endowed with a wide variety and concentration of vitamins and minerals. Their properties stand out for their high levels of vitamin A and vitamin C, responsible for many of the health benefits of tomatoes, such as fighting free radicals and boosting immunity.
The high potassium concentrations in tomatoes make them a powerful food in preventing hypertension.
Regular tomato consumption has been increasingly linked to lower LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Other substances found in tomatoes, such as folic acid and niacin, are also widely linked to a reduced risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
