Health Benefits Of The Tomato

One of the main reasons for eating vegetables in your diet is they contain such a lot of goodness, what I am going to talk about in this post is the tomato, tomatoes contain something called lycopene there have been various studies around the world on this particular ingredient of the tomato and its properties for lowering risks of cancers is well documented this particular ingredient of the tomato works best for prostate, lung, and stomach cancers.

But there are other parts of the body where it can work as well lycopene also appears to protect both hearts and lungs against oxidative damage also, in one study, at a university in Toronto found that a couple of servings of tomato juice once every day for a week would itself stop some damage to certain proteins within the body, some other studies in Europe, tends to lend itself that it may stop the onset of a heart attack, so as you can see sometimes it pays to think about food that you're actually eating and putting in your body.

Vegetables have something in them known as the phytochemicals, these chemicals have brilliant antioxidant properties and prevent your body from getting various diseases this is also why it important to have plenty of vegetables in your diet because of the mineral content and also the properties within the food.

When Your Health Is In A Soup

I am convinced that both prevention and management of disease can be obtained without drugs. Especially conditions like diabetes, obesity, low energy, frequent infections, menstrual problems, high cholesterol, gastro intestinal problems, menopausal problems etc.

People come to me for dietary reform usually because they realise, as they go through life, that food has something to do with their disorders and symptoms. So they willingly follow the dietary advice as they want to experience better health by using food as medicine. These are people who are health aware and therefore conscious. Naturally, that makes it easier for me to treat them, but I am addressing the average person who is completely disinclined to change his diet that he has followed all his life, even if it is causing him a lot of discomfort. Dietary modification to such a person does not mean 'healthy living' but an interference with the pleasures of life. But unless a person realises that vibrant health, mental clarity and high energy can be attained by improving his selection desired. Drink it hot two to three times a day.

Antacid soup: Late nights and over-eating is common during a festive season. This may lead to nausea, vomiting, gas and acidity in those individuals having a weak liver. You should know that your liver needs help, when you get frequent headaches, sugar cravings, poor digestion, low energy, abdominal bloat, mood swings, food allergies, etc. This soup will help reduce heart burn and acidity. In two cups of low fat curd, add one grated cucumber, lots of (at least 10) ice cubes, black salt and blend. Chill in refrigerator and serve in soup bowls garnished with mint leaves.

Gas fighting salad: Flatus (gas) is produced in the intestine by undigested food. Excessive eating, too much non-veg, insufficient water intake, alcohol all contribute to indigestion and gas formation. Constipation also results in flatus. Dozens of herbs help reduce gas eg., saunf (fennel), cardamom (elaichi), peppermint, etc. This gas fighting salad can be used when you want to eat lightly and digest last nights greasy meal. Combine pomegranate (2 whole), black raisins (10 nos), fresh amla finely chopped (1 large) in a salad bowl on a bed of lettuce leaves. Dress with few drops of vinegar and black salt.
