A high level of lycopene in the blood protects against the development of heart disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The nutrient superstar lycopene is also a powerful antioxidant that is very effective in eliminating free radicals that can cause cancer. It protects against the development of prostate, ovarian, lung, breast and stomach cancers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lycopene is also good for the eyes. In addition, tomatoes contain other nutrients such as beta-carotene and lutein that support vision and protect against eye conditions, including cataracts and macular degeneration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tomatoes protect the digestive system and prevent constipation and diarrhea. In addition, they contain a large amount of fiber that can help intestinal transit and reduce symptoms of constipation. It is also a good vegetable for type 2 diabetics because it reduces the oxidative stress caused by diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eating a tomato daily reduces the risk of developing high blood pressure. This is due in part to the impressive levels of potassium found in tomatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tomatoes contain a considerable amount of calcium and vitamin K. Both of these nutrients are essential for building and maintaining strong bones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can incorporate tomatoes into your diet in a variety of forms &#8211; fresh, dried, in sauce, in salsa or in paste. This way you can enjoy tomatoes all year round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regular consumption of tomatoes is a positive step towards maintaining an optimal level of health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tomatoes are now the most widely grown crop in the world in terms of volume.
