TOMATOES BEST DEFENCE AGAINST SKIN DAMAGE !
The simple tomatoes provide us best defence against skin damage, as it helps protect the skin from sunburn & ageing caused by sunlight exposure, according to a new study.
An ingredient in tomato called lycopene, the natural pigment that makes tomatoes red, helps protect against sunburn & skin ageing caused by the UV rays in the sunlight.
The age-defying ingredient is found in highest levels in processed or cooked tomatoes. Eating tomatoes will not make one invincible in the sun, but it may be a useful addition to sun protection along with sunscreen, shade & clothing.
The protective effect of tomatoes on our mitochondria- a membrane linked to skin ageing, is important as they are the energy producers in all our body cells including skin.
