Tomatoes
Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, a carotenoid with notable anti-inflammatory activity, especially where cardiovascular and skin health are concerned. They are so powerful & robust that even if you cook them their nutrients do not get destroyed.
How to use it:
Cooking tomatoes with a little oil actually increases lycopene absorption, so cooked tomato sauces and curries count more than raw slices. Aim for tomatoes in some form, salads, curries, soups, stews most days of the year, the new saying is “one tomato a day keeps the doctor away”!
