Most raw vegetables are superior to cooked ones with regard to vitamin content. Overcooking veggies can rob them of much of their nutritional content. Tomatoes, however, are a notable exception, particularly with regard tolycopene, an important carotenoid with anti-oxidant characteristics.

What Do Tomatoes Help You With?

Tomatoes are low in calories, very low in fat, and have zero cholesterol. They are excellent sources of antioxidants, dietary fiber, minerals, and vitamins. The antioxidants in tomatoes fight cancers, including colon, prostate, breast, endometrial, lung, and pancreatic tumors. Tomatoes, especially red tomatoes, are high in lycopene, an antioxidant. Together with other carotenoids, lycopene protects cells and other structures in the body from free radicals. Lycopene also prevents skin damage from ultra-violet rays and offers protection from skin cancer. Zeaxanthin is another carotenoid compound present abundantly in this vegetable. Zeaxanthin helps protect eyes from age-related macular disease (ARMD) by filtering harmful ultra-violet rays. Tomatoes contain very good levels of vitamin A, and carotenoid anti-oxidants such as alpha- and beta-carotenes, xanthins, and lutein. These pigment compounds are antioxidants that help maintain vision, mucus membranes, skin, and bones. Carotenoids also protect you from lung and oral cavity cancers. Tomatoes are also a good source of antioxidant vitamin C, which helps the body resist infection and destroy harmful free radicals. Fresh tomatoes are very rich in potassium and low in sodium. Tomatoes contain moderate levels of vital B-complex vitamins such as folate, thiamine, niacin, riboflavin as well some essential minerals like iron, calcium, manganese and other trace elements.
