Tomatoes and Its Medicinal Properties

 

I have heard a lot of stories about tomato saying that it is a

powerful folk medicine. My grandfather, grandmother, and uncle had an

acre of farmland planted with tomatoes and other crops.

 

When food shortages occurred during WWII, our daily foods were

comprised of only potatoes and tomatoes. They told me that tomato

could heal all our sufferings and maladies.

 

Today, we realize that tomato is one of the most recommended and

nutritious vegetables in your backyard garden. One medium-sized

tomato, about 150 grams in weight has about 35 calories, 0.5 grams of

fat, 5 mg of sodium, 7 grams of carbohydrate, 1 gram of dietary

fiber, 6 grams of sugar, 1 gram of protein, 20% vitamin A, 40%

vitamin C, 2% Calcium, 2% Iron. That's a great vegetable or you call

it fruit.

 

Recently, we read from medical journals that tomatoes are good for

cancer prevention. Wow, it's really great. What our ancestors

narrated to their children was true.

 

People who ate tomatoes regularly have a reduced risk of contracting

cancer diseases such as lung, prostate, stomach, cervical, breast,

oral, colorectal, esophageal, pancreatic, and many other types of

cancer.

 

Some studies show that tomatoes and garlic should be taken together

at the same time to have its cancer preventive effects. Whatever it

is, we really do not know how or why tomatoes work against cancers.

 

We believe that lycopene and the newly discovered bioflavonoids in

tomatoes are responsible as cancer fighting agents.

 

Not only raw tomatoes but also cooked or processed tomato products

such as ketchup, sauce, and paste, are counted as good sources of

cancer prevention.

 

Tomato is also good for liver health. Tomato has detoxification

effect in the body. Probably it is due to the presence of chlorine

and sulfur in tomatoes.

 

According to some studies, 51 mg of chlorine and 11 mg of sulfur in

100 grams size of tomato have a vital role in detoxification process.

 

We know that natural chlorine works in stimulating the liver and its

function for filtering and detoxifying body wastes. Sulfur in

tomatoes protects the liver from cirrhosis, too. Tomato juice is

known as good energy drink and for rejuvenating the health of

patients on dialysis.

 

Herbalists knew that taking tomatoes and tomato products could reduce

the risk of cardiovascular diseases because of lycopene in it.

 

What is your worry when you take too much food that contains animal

fat? Butter, cheese, pork, egg, beef, and other fried foods. Take

tomato, it will prevent hardening of the arteries. Therefore, tomato

can reduce high blood pressure, too.

 

Red ripened tomato is a powerful antioxidant. Vitamin E and lycopene

in tomato prevents LDL oxidation effectively. Bean sprouts, cabbage

or barley malt contain vitamin E. Tomato is an excellent fruit or

vegetable for rapid skin cell replacement.

 

Tomato juice can be used for healing sunburn because of its unique

vitamin C. You can also name tomato juice as a good sports drink to

restore yourself from fatigue and sleepiness.

 

Let's plant marvelous tomato in a container garden if you don't have

a backyard garden.

I have a neighbor who had kidney failure after heart surgery and is now on

dialysis. He was told not to eat tomatoes due to the amount of potassium in

them. So I am not sure that tomato juice should be recommended to those on

dialysis. Also, commercial tomato juice is loaded with added sodium which is

not good for anyone. Better to make your own or buy those which clearly

indicate low sodium content.

It is amazing that the tomato was thought to be a poison about the

time the US was becoming a country. It seems that at some point

someone famous like Ben Franklin gathered a crowd and ATE a ripe

tomato, in front of all, to everyone's total suprise! People were

amazed that he did not get sick or die.

Tomatoes and potatoes are members of the nightshade plant family.

Many historically still believe the tomato and potato are hard on

those with especially arthritus.

Slowly, as we learn more about substances like vitamins, minerals and

the like-and how they affect our bodies, medicines should be less

prevelent than more natural fixes and far cheaper to boot!!

 

Hope your day is Great!

Tomatoes are a great food, AND may not be so great

for some people.

 

If you feel better when you abstain from

nightshades, which seems to be the case for

many people with arthritis, then that is

all the science you as an individual need.

 

Playing with your food is safe, cheap, does

not require the OK of a doctor, and just might

change your life.

 

A friend of mine has tried a fortune worth of

expensive supplements and allergy testing.

She finally decided to try, just try, a gluten-free

diet.

She is feeling better than she has in years.

 

Who cares what the official label is?
