Health Benefits of Tomatoes

Tomatoes are one of my favourite fruits, but have you ever wondered why they are good for you?

1. They are easy to digest

2. They are high in vitamin C

3. They are hydrating, which is valuable as most of us are dehydrated. Our liver is grateful for this.

4. They help fight type 2 diabetes by strengthening the glucose level

5. They detox the liver

6. They support the pancreas by steadying insulin

7. They support the adrenal glands

8. They can help remove certain migraines

The Scaremongering
Some scaremongering went on for many years. The reason was triggered when people were eating tomatoes off a Pewter plate (Pewter is a malleable metal alloy of tin, antimony, copper, bismuth, and sometimes silver). The tomatoes placed in this dish released lead (very toxic) and poisoned the eaters.
Pewter dishes are no longer used, but the fear remained. It's important to remember that tomatoes are very safe. Don't be afraid to eat them
