11. Tomatoes
We can’t really say that tomatoes are among the healthiest foods on the planet, but they aren’t that far either. When referring to lowering high blood pressure, they are pretty amazing. This is possible because tomatoes and all tomato products actually pack potassium and lycopene, a carotenoid pigment.
In several studies, this carotenoid called lycopene was associated with many positive effects when it comes to heart health. Consuming tomatoes on a regular basis may even reduce your chances of developing heart disease.
A recent study goes even further saying that eating tomato products could improve blood pressure levels, therefore the risk of dying from heart disease will diminish.
However, it’s best to steer clear of canned tomatoes. Although Bisphenol-A has been removed from many products, some food packaging still contains it; and that’s also the case with canned tomatoes.
All in all, tomatoes should be part of a healthy diet, but remember to always opt for fresh ones or tomatoes that are stored in glass jars.
Other impressive benefits of tomatoes:
- protecting heart health
- improving vision
- boosting digestive health
- maintaining skin health
- guarding against certain types of cancers
- enhancing the immune system
