You should eat tomatoes at least once a day during the summer months, as red vegetables can protect you from skin cancer, a new study shows. In the heat we are most at risk of developing melanoma on the skin.
However, according to a study by American scientists, eating one or two tomatoes a day will reduce the likelihood of developing skin cancer by 50%. This was established through a series of experiments with laboratory mice.
They had a change in their tumors after eating one tomato every day for 35 weeks and then being exposed to ultraviolet light, according to Science Alert magazine.
Scientists believe that tomatoes are useful because of carotenoids - the pigmenting ingredients that give tomatoes their color and protect them from the harmful effects of UV rays.
Previous studies have shown that regular consumption of tomato paste can alleviate the effects of skin burns, which is again due to carotenoids.
The main substance in them is lycopene, which is among the most effective antioxidants in nature.
Lycopene is also an excellent prevention of sunburn. Eat one tomato before exposing yourself to prolonged sun, but still don't forget the sunscreen.
As tomatoes are also rich in vitamins A and C, you can also consume them when you are struggling with skin imperfections.
Eating tomatoes regularly will also improve your heart rate by lowering bad cholesterol and normalizing your blood pressure.
