Cook Tomatoes Like This and Eat Them Every Day! The Results Will Be Incredible
Why Cooked Tomatoes?
Raw tomatoes are delicious and nutritious, packed with vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants. However, cooking tomatoes actually boosts their health benefits, especially by increasing the availability of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant linked to reduced risk of heart disease and certain cancers.
When tomatoes are cooked, the heat breaks down their cell walls, making lycopene more accessible for your body to absorb. Plus, cooking them with a bit of healthy fat (like olive oil) enhances this absorption even further.
