Diet Tip #3: Eat tomatoes to curb diseases after 40
Once you hit 40, your body starts to change and you are likely to encounter health problems you’ve not had before. Not only will you be more prone to lifestyle diseases but also have a longer recovery time. It is therefore essential to take extra measures to make sure you are hale and hearty.
Eating tomatoes can come in handy to keep several diseases at bay. This is because they are an excellent source of the antioxidant lycopene. Tomatoes protect one against the formation of cancer cells in the body. They also protect the walls of the arteries from thickening. This prevents heart diseases.
Not just this, tomato juice is helpful in protecting against prostate cancer, lung and stomach cancers as well. So if you are looking for a remedy to keep health problems away, make sure you include this red fruit in your diet.
