Tomatoes – High in Vitamin C and a Powerful Antioxidant
I really love tomatoes. I like to eat raw tomatoes and dip in a salt. I want to have tomatoes in every meal. It is so nice to know that I got a lot of it that is very good for my health.
Until the 1800s, tomatoes were thought to be poisonous. Today they are known to contain more Vitamin C than oranges and to contain lycopene (the red pigment) which, some research suggests, may have twice the power of the well-known antioxidant beta carotene.
As a general rule, food is better eaten raw rather than cooked. But in the case of tomatoes, raw and cooked are both better! Want the vitamin C benefits? Then eat them raw. If you want the antioxidant benefits then you need your tomatoes cooked or at least heated. And yes, tomatoes are a rare case in which (for antioxidant reasons) saucing and canning also improves them.
One last thing – much of the good is in the red. So eat your tomatoes very ripe and very red.
Many people have been in a financial mess and still struggling to recover, and it is not easy. No remorse but sometimes it is because of one’s mismanagement of his finances, and sometimes he is too aggressive and sweet-talked into something tempting and promising, investing into something that in the end turned into a high-fee more than he could afford and often would be inappropriate investments, and most of all, put us in huge debts, and poor financial score. I know people who have multiple credits from overusing credit cards and overspending on things, as many Americans are struggling to pay these days. Why struggle left and right?
