Could tomatoes aid weight loss?
Tomatoes, whether recognised as a fruit or a vegetable, are a rich source of vitamin C. They are also known to be high in antioxidants, thus providing great anti-ageing benefits.
In addition to the above benefits, it seems that tomatoes are also popular for their fat-fighting properties. According to Glamour magazine, ''tomatoes have been found to reduce inflammation and water retention in the body, as well as reversing leptin resistance.'' Leptin is a type of protein which helps to regulate metabolic rate and appetite, so our bodies rely on it to shed those extra kilograms.
How to add tomatoes to your diet?
Tomatoes are best eaten fresh, ripe and raw. They can be included in salads, or added to cooked dishes like curries, stews, soups, etc.
Be creative with how you prepare them and enjoy their delicious flavour whilst reaping the weight loss benefits.
