Gut health: Constipation, gas, bloating, heartburn, and other digestive system problems are a reflection of your overall health. Natural cycles weaken and slow down as we age. Changes in stomach acid, gut immunity and gastrointestinal flora, the intricate bacterial environment in your digestive system, are the main causes of changes in gut health.
The fiber that supports the growth of healthy bacteria and intestinal health is provided by a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
This magical fruit is TOMATOES. Tomatoes have fewer calories and include vital elements such as potassium and vitamin C. In addition, they contain a large amount of antioxidants. Lycopene, which gives tomatoes their distinctive color, has been linked to a number of benefits, including a lower risk of heart disease and some cancers.
Benefits of Tomatoes for a Healthy Gut
1. Tomatoes, a great source of prebiotic fiber, provide your body’s good bacteria with the ideal food they need to thrive and support the efficient functioning of all body systems.
2. Tomatoes appear to have a beneficial and protective effect on intestinal homeostasis even when the diet is less than ideal, possibly offsetting other poor dietary choices.
3. Repair damaged cells. Tomatoes are naturally rich in lycopene, an antioxidant pigment that enables this restoration process.
4. Tomatoes actually have more all-encompassing health benefits, with their antioxidants and prebiotics interacting with gut bacteria to benefit the entire gut.
5. Eating tomatoes raw or cooked has a positive impact on the gut, improving metabolism and ultimately leading to healthier looking skin inside and out.
