Fresh Tomato, Help Your Body Stay Healthy
Hygienic tomatoes are still helpful, and packed with wonderful nutrients (not to mention delicious). Just keep in mind the one rule of fresh tomatoes: don not put them in the refrigerator. The refrigerator destroys not only the flavor, it also destroys the nutrients.
The tomato has been called many things throughout history: Peruvian apple, love apple, and even, by Americans at least, a vegetable. Today, however, this lovely fruit is fast becoming known as Superfood!
While not able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, this super hero of the nutrition world is able to do some pretty amazing things. For example, some studies show the tomato may help decrease the risk of prostate cancer, as well as breast, lung and stomach cancers. And the Herald Sun reported in 2003 that the yellow jelly around the seeds have yet another benefit: They may stop blood cells from clumping together, which sometimes leads to strokes and heart attacks.
