Is there really a perfect tomato? I have to say my grandparents had to have known something, I remember for lunch, every lunch that is, they would have sliced tomatoes, Cucumbers, half a sandwich and coffee. ❤️ And that's a wonderful memory to say the least. Both of my grandparents lived past 90 so there must have been something about the tomatoes, but what?
Well.........
Did you know they are rich in lycopene which us a carotenoid phytochemical that has one of the strongest antioxidant properties and pst.....it also may help protect that DNA of yours from cancer!
Other benefits that are amazing are it helps ease inflammation in the body and we all know what inflammation causes? Diseases and auto immune issues etc. It boosts your immune system and I must say naturally, lowers cholesterol, and hmmm. It keeps your blood from clotting! I'm no Dr nor am I diagnosing anyone but I'm going to have to say my grandparents really did know something! And I wish I did have more time with them....
