Tomato
There’s a lots to love about tomatoes. A pizza wouldn’t taste right without marinara sauce, pastas wouldn’t be complete without Bolognese, and salads would only be OK without cherry tomatoes. Apart from their tangy sweetness, there’s a very good reason why you should increase your tomato intake.
Lycopene, the pigment that gives tomatoes their distinct reddish hue, is also an antioxidant that strengthens cell walls, lowers LDL cholesterol, and can help prevent the formation of blood clots. Plus, you can’t be mad at tomatoes for being so juicy since their vitamin C and water content can help maintain collagen production. More tomatoes, please!
