Please consider eating tomato regularly
Tomatoes are one of the richest sources of lycopene, the potent
age-defying antioxidant that gives fruit and vegetables their red colour.
In addition tomatoes conatin several vitamins, polyphenols, minerals
beneficial to health. Lycopene has well-documented disease-fighting
properties and is excellent at boosting the immune system. A diet high in
lycopene can reduce the risk of prostate cancer by up to 35 per cent.
Eating tomato protects DNA from oxidative damage. Tomatoes have been shown
to guard against cardiovascular disease.
A new study has revealed that eating five tomatoes everyday could help
protect against sunburn and premature ageing. The ultraviolet rays lead to
excess production of harmful molecules called 'reactive oxygen species'
which can damage skin structures but lycopene neutralises them.
I am sure eating tomatoes will help our people in the subcontinent in the
hot summer though we have more melanin compared with the white population.
Nevertheless consuming tomatoes will increas the antioxidnat reserve in
the body.

Our own work on antithrombotic activity of tomatoes was publsihed several
newspapers/magazines of the world. Consuming tomato reduces the
hyperactivity of platelets (thrombocytes) as it happens in diabetes,
obesity, hypertension, aging, cancer, and of course in cadriovascualr
disease).
For lot of reasosn one may consider eating tomatoes regularly.
