If you like tomatoes, you are going to love them after you read this. Only 10 tablespoons of tomatoes a week will help protect you from specific types of cancer. The main type of cancer that tomatoes fight off is breast cancer. Up to 50% tomatoes will fight off breast cancer. With how prevalent breast cancer is these days, this is a huge tidbit.
Remember breast cancer does happen in men as well. More women get breast cancer than men, but it is still a risk.
Tomatoes are loaded with nutrients and antioxidants!
You can eat fresh tomatoes or tomato paste. You will find the super food tomatoes in spaghetti, lasagna, bruschetta and many Italian dishes. Tomato dishes do not stop there. You may eat a BLT (bacon, lettuce and tomato), tomatoes in your salad, a slice of tomato on your tuna sandwich or any type of sandwich such as chicken, veggie sandwich with cucumbers on and a little mayonnaise, etc. Use your imagination! Remember to eat wheat or dark breads. Add a little different zip and eat your sandwich on pita bread.
Throw some fresh tomato on your pizza. The taste will liven up your pizza.
Treat yourself and your family to some fresh salsa. The salsa is very good for you, just go easy on the tortilla chips. You can also eat your salsa on a burger, add it to a tuna sandwich, use salsa instead of salad dressing, etc.
Easy Tomato Snack or Side with a Meal
Cut up tomatoes into bite size pieces. Brush a little extra virgin olive oil on them to help your heart and enjoy! You can use a low-fat, low calorie Italian Dressing instead of the EVOO on your tomatoes. The results are juicy and healthy tomatoes that your body will thank you for. You will not feel one bit guilty or overfull after eating them.
Eat up tomatoes and continue to serve them to your family for maximum health benefits! For more healthy information, please visit http://www.getdownsized.com/.
