People who lose weight will take a tomato with them. When they are hungry, eating a tomato can quench their thirst and temporarily relieve their hunger. Tomatoes have high water content and low calories. The calories per100g of tomatoes are only 15 calories, which is almost negligible.
Tomatoes have special benefits for men's health. Most men have prostate hyperplasia when they are old, and they should be more careful about prostate cancer when they are 50 years old.
Tomatoes contain lycopene, which has a certain preventive effect on prostate diseases. Regular consumption of some foods containing lycopene can scavenge free radicals, resist oxidative damage, inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells and reduce the risk of prostate cancer by 30%.
Today, the nutritionist in the nutrition class will come to talk to you: tomatoes are called "male protectors". Don't just scramble eggs, they are more nutritious with three kinds of foods.
The most tomatoes we eat every day are scrambled eggs with tomatoes. When cooking this dish, we will first fry the eggs in oil, then pour out the eggs, then fry the tomatoes in oil, and finally add the scrambled eggs and stir well.
This is equivalent to putting cooking oil twice, so that the original low-calorie healthy food becomes high-calorie and high-fat food, and the total calorie suddenly increases from 15 to nearly 100, which is not so friendly to friends during weight loss.
Therefore, tomatoes might as well be eaten in a new way and cooked with several new foods:
1, tomatoes and potatoes cooked together:
It's very hot in summer. In addition to paying attention to hydration, we should also pay attention to potassium supplementation, which can prevent excessive intake of sodium and salt in the diet from raising blood pressure. Potatoes are rich in potassium and vitamin C, which is good for preventing hypertension and stroke.
Tomatoes and potatoes can be cooked together without oil or with less oil, which can also reduce the calories of food as much as possible and can be eaten in moderation when losing weight in summer.
2. Boil tomatoes and beef together:
Tomatoes and beef seem to be two foods that should be stewed together by nature. Beef is rich in high-quality protein, iron and other essential nutrients. Tomato is rich in lycopene, a fat-soluble nutrient. Cooking with a small amount of oil is beneficial to its full release. When tomatoes meet beef and lycopene meets fat, everything will be fine.
3. Cook tomatoes and green beans together:
Kidney bean is rich in vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber, and it is a coarse grain food highly praised by nutritionists. Kidney beans have low starch content and low fat content. After cooked, they taste soft, waxy and sweet, and can be eaten directly instead of staple food.
Stew kidney beans and tomatoes in a pressure cooker for 20 minutes, then put them in the pot to get juice. Sweet and sour.
