Tomatoes are rich in nutrition.
Maybe many people have always had a healthy impression of tomatoes. This is correct. Japanese nutritionist tomorrow Jian said that as long as you take tomato juice, you can expect all kinds of effects of tomatoes on your body.
Generally speaking, if a large tomato weighing about 200g is calculated, its nutritional components are as follows:
Calories: 34 calories
Protein: 1.4g
Lipid: 0.2g
Carbohydrate: 8.0g.
Potassium: 520 mg
Vitamin: 52 micrograms
Folic acid: 34 micrograms
Vitamin c:12mg
Dietary fiber: 1.4g
A large tomato has only 34 calories, which is easy for dieters to consume. In addition to raw food, nutritionist Yongji Toyoko pointed out that making fully mature red tomatoes into juice can absorb more lycopene. Compared with raw tomatoes, lycopene is three times different.
In addition, because heating lycopene can improve the absorption rate of lycopene, tomato juice is also very recommended as a cooking seasoning.
Countermeasures for edema: potassium supplementation
If a large tomato weighing about 200g is used, the potassium content is as high as 520mg. Nutritionist Lin said that potassium and sodium are the main electrolytes in body fluids, potassium ion is the main cation of intracellular fluid, and sodium ion is the main cation of extracellular fluids such as human blood and body fluids. Maintaining the balance of potassium and sodium in the body can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
In addition, tomorrow Jian pointed out that potassium can help eliminate edema. Excessive salt intake is the cause of body edema, and potassium helps to discharge excessive sodium content and help to eliminate edema.
However, people in Taiwan Province Province generally have insufficient potassium intake. Lin explained that the recommended potassium intake of the World Health Organization is 3,500 mg per day. The Diet to Stop Hypertension (DASH), which helps to control blood pressure, also points out that potassium should reach at least 4,000 mg to avoid the increase of blood pressure.
However, according to the current diet of people in Taiwan Province Province, the intake of potassium ion is less than 2,800 mg, which is far below the recommended amount of WHO.
Except people in Taiwan Province province, Japanese people are generally deficient in potassium, and the potassium deficiency is about 365,438+08 ~ 546 mg of the recommended target content. In this regard, tomorrow Jian said that if you eat a tomato, you can supplement 520mg of potassium, which can easily supplement the problem of insufficient potassium content.
Tomatoes also have more nutrients to help lower blood pressure and resist oxidation! The next page teaches you how to make tomato soup with microwave to add points to your health.
People who care about blood pressure will get GABA if they eat tomatoes.
In addition to potassium, Tomorrow Jian said that tomato juice contains GABA, which is expected to lower blood pressure for patients with hypertension.
Ikeya Minlang, president of Ikeya Hospital in Japan, explained that GABA(γ- aminobutyric acid) is an amino acid. It is known that GABA can relieve stress and relax, but in fact GABA can also lower blood pressure.
Although the specific physiological mechanism of lowering blood pressure by GABA is not completely clear at present, GABA can calm sympathetic nerve and inhibit the neurotransmitter (norepinephrine) that makes blood vessels contract, and the result of vasodilation is lowering blood pressure. In addition, GABA can stabilize the pulse and further lower blood pressure.
So tomorrow Jian said that GABA can not only help potassium improve edema, but also lower blood pressure. Therefore, under the action of GABA and potassium, tomatoes are highly recommended for people who care about blood pressure.
The antioxidant effect of lycopene protects cells.
As one of carotenoids, lycopene has a strong antioxidant effect. Anti-oxidation can prevent arteriosclerosis, cancer, aging and remove reactive oxygen species that reduce immunity, and is an indispensable substance to maintain good health.
Because vitamin C contained in tomatoes also has antioxidant effect, it can be obtained from lycopene and vitamin C.
Nutritionists recommend it as breakfast or supper! Super simple tomato thick soup

For this ethnic group, tomorrow the nutritionist designed a simple microwave tomato dish, so that people who hate tomatoes can also eat the rich nutrition of tomatoes, which is very suitable for breakfast or midnight snack.
