HEALTH PROPERTIES TOMATO (TOMATO) [PRODUCT REMOVED]

Energy value or calories is the amount of energy released in the human body from food during digestion. The energy value of the product is measured in kilo-calories (kcal) or kilo-joules (kJ) per 100 grams. product. The kilocalorie, which is used to measure the energy content of food, is also known as the "food calorie", so the prefix kilo is often omitted when referring to calories in (kilo)calories. You can see detailed energy value tables for Russian products.

The nutritional value- the content of carbohydrates, fats and proteins in the product.

Nutritional value of a food product- a set of properties of a food product, in the presence of which the physiological needs of a person in the necessary substances and energy are satisfied.

vitamins, organic substances needed in small amounts in the diet of both humans and most vertebrates. The synthesis of vitamins is usually carried out by plants, not animals. The daily human need for vitamins is only a few milligrams or micrograms. Unlike inorganic substances, vitamins are destroyed by strong heating. Many vitamins are unstable and "lost" during food preparation or food processing.

In the fight against excess weight, tomatoes can make their contribution - a low-calorie product, rich in vitamins and extremely healthy. Tomato calories per 100 grams is quite low, does not exceed 20 kcal. A certain amount of calories is spent on its processing, which reduces the already small energy value of a delicious vegetable. So gaining weight by leaning on tomatoes will not work.

The birthplace of tomatoes is Central America, 2.5 thousand years ago, the Incas and Aztecs cultivated the sacred fruits - "tomatl", which means "large berry". Under this name they were brought in the 16th century. to Europe, where tomatoes were at first considered poisonous, they were used only to decorate gardens and window sills. But already in the XVIII century. cheerful Italians ate with appetite "golden apples" - "pomi d'oro" - seasoning them with oil and pepper. From Italy they got on the table to Catherine II. The taste of bright vegetables fascinated the Empress, with her light hand, “golden apples” began to be grown in Russia for human consumption.

Ripe tomatoes are a pharmacy containing vitamins, trace elements, antioxidants, which we often lack. Such as:

• Most of all, carotene in tomatoes - 400-500 grams of red fruits cover the daily norm of a substance that is useful for the eyes.
• Ascorbic acid, B vitamins contribute to normal metabolism, increase immunity, improve skin condition.
• Vitamin C varieties of pink color are the richest, they also contain selenium, which increases immunity and mental activity.
• Tomatoes have a lot of potassium and magnesium, which makes them a valuable product for the cores, potassium helps to remove excess fluid, reduces swelling.
• It is useful to eat tomatoes for the prevention of anemia, because they contain iron and copper, without which hemoglobin synthesis is impossible.
• Seeds of ripe vegetables with flavonoids surrounding them reduce blood viscosity and prevent the formation of blood clots.
• "Golden apples" in abundance contain a valuable dye - lycopene - the most powerful natural antioxidant. It not only has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the heart, but also prevents the formation of cancer cells. Especially a lot of lycopene contain yellow varieties.
• Tomatoes - berries of joy - their use increases the level of serotonin in the blood, which improves mood, helps to overcome depression.

For the digestive tract, tomatoes are a real balm. The watery structure of the vegetable facilitates its digestion in the stomach, the skin promotes peristalsis of the intestinal walls, keeps it “in good shape”. Tomato diets are popular among those who lose weight, because due to the chromium content, these vegetables reduce appetite and cause a long-lasting feeling of satiety.

Does a tomato have a negative calorie content?

As for the calorie content of a tomato, it should be noted right away that it is not negative.

Please note: The only proven zero-calorie food is pure water. It does not contain proteins, fats and carbohydrates, but the body will have to spend several calories to cool or heat water to body temperature - a negative calorie effect will result.

Any food product (except water) consists of proteins, fats, carbohydrates. For their assimilation, 10-15% of the calories that they supply to the body are required.

The composition of BJU in a fresh tomato looks like this:

• Proteins - 0.6 g / 100 g;
• Fats - 0.2 g / 100 g;
• Carbohydrates - 4.2 g / 100 g.

Fiber (0.8 g / 100 g) and water (93.5 g / 100 g) must be added to tomato BJU - these nutrients do not contain calories. A fresh tomato has a calorie content of about 20 kcal per 100 grams, 3-4 kcal will be spent on its absorption, a small remainder will replenish the calorie reserves in the body. The energy value of the tomato is not negative, but low enough that it can be used in weight loss diets.

The dependence of calories on the method of preparation

When figuring out how many calories are in a tomato, you need to consider how it is cooked.

Table: calorie content of tomatoes with various processing

• As can be seen from the table, salted vegetables have the lowest calorie content, while they retain the entire vitamin composition and trace elements of fresh fruits.
• Pickled tomatoes after cooking lose the lion's share of vitamins, but remain a low-calorie product that is useful for weight loss. At the bottom there is a high content of lycopene and essential trace elements (potassium, manganese, iron).
• A miniature cherry variety quickly gained popularity: small tomatoes are much sweeter and tastier than their large counterparts, they can perfectly decorate any dish.
• The value of tomato juice is that it contains more lycopene than fresh vegetables. 1 piece of a large fruit weighing 100 g contains 1.5 mg of lycopene, while 100 ml of tomato juice contains 7-8 mg. Two glasses of juice a day will cover the body's daily need for this powerful natural antioxidant.
• Properly cooked stewed and baked tomatoes contain more calories, but they are superior in lycopene content to fresh fruits. 100 g of the dish contains less water, but a higher percentage of lycopene and trace elements.
• Some meat dishes have fewer calories than canned sun-dried tomatoes flavored generously with olive oil. In home preparations, they are cooked in dryers for 5 hours at t ° = 80 ° with a lot of salt. Deprived of moisture, sun-dried tomatoes have the maximum content of vitamins and all other useful nutrients and are a concentrated medicinal product.

Tomatoes for weight loss

Despite the low calorie content, tomatoes are not a product that can be regularly used with mono-diets. By eating only vegetables with a minimum content of BJU, you can bring your body to exhaustion, disrupt metabolism, and upset your health. In addition, tomatoes increase the acidity of gastric juice, and such a mono-diet often ends with gastritis. Oxalic acid, which is rich in bright red vegetables, accelerates the formation of oxalate stones in the kidneys. Tomatoes work effectively when losing weight, if you replace them with one meal of high-calorie foods in your daily diet. Instead of an abundance of calories, the body will receive an excellent vitamin supplement that stimulates the digestive tract, maintaining a feeling of satiety for a long time.

Top 10 Vegetables for Weight Loss

Vegetables for weight loss are not only food with a small amount of calories, but also a source of vitamins, valuable substances necessary for health promotion.

Together with tomatoes, it is useful to involve in the fight against excess weight:

The listed vegetables give unlimited scope for culinary creativity and will allow you to lose weight with taste, without harming your health. However, it does not hurt to take into account some of the comments of nutritionists.

Tomatoes and cucumbers - the effect of joint use

Many people love tomato and cucumber salad, but are these vegetables healthy when eaten together?

• Tomatoes create an acidic environment, cucumbers create an alkaline one; the interaction of these substances leads to the formation of salts, which in the kidneys and gallbladder can become stones.
• Vitamin C, which is so rich in tomatoes, is neutralized by enzymes from cucumbers. When used together, the body will not receive ascorbic acid, no matter how many tomatoes we eat.
• The liver and pancreas secrete enzymes to digest food. Not a single enzyme needed by cucumbers matches those that are released during the assimilation of tomatoes. While one vegetable is being digested, another will begin to ferment in the stomach, creating a load on the liver, which protects the body from fermentation products.

Of course, one festive cucumber-tomato salad will not create serious problems, but it is better to eat these vegetables separately on a regular basis.

Tomato fruits contain pectin, sugars, mineral salts, nitrogenous substances, organic acids, alkaloids, vitamins B1, C, K and PP, pantothenic acid and carotene (provitamin A). Tomato juice is rich in provitamin A, vitamin C, aromatic and coloring substances. The stem and leaves of the plant contain essential oil, rutin, tannins; roots - tomatidine, from which the steroid testosterone is obtained. Fatty oil (up to 25%) is obtained from tomato seeds by pressing or extraction methods, which includes stearic, palmitic, linoleic and linolenic acids.

Medicinal properties.

In addition to excellent taste, tomato has a whole range of useful and healing properties. Tomato fruits are full of minerals and vitamins that are so necessary for the body.
Tomatoes contain lycopene, a substance with powerful therapeutic properties.
This substance can stop DNA mutations and tumor cell division, protect women from cervical cancer, and men from prostate cancer. Lycopene gives tomato fruits an intense red color, is a strong natural antioxidant - its antioxidant properties are stronger than those of vitamins C and E.

An interesting fact is that processed tomatoes contain even more lycopene than raw ones. The absorption of lycopene is higher if tomatoes are consumed along with fats. For example, tomato salad with vegetable oil. It is also useful to eat boiled tomatoes. Tomatoes have diuretic properties and are used for diseases of the bladder and kidneys. Fruits contain serotonin (hormone of joy) because of which they improve mood. Just like garlic and onions, tomato contains phytoncides (substances that destroy or inhibit the growth and development of bacteria), which determines its antibacterial properties.

The low calorie content of tomatoes allows them to be included in the diet for those who are struggling with being overweight.
It is impossible not to note the significant cosmetic properties of the tomato, which is manifested in the restoration of skin elasticity and tone, the return of its freshness and youth.
The constant use of tomatoes reduces the risk of diseases of the cardiovascular system, stops changes in the retina, leading to loss of vision in retirement age.
In addition, tomatoes protect the body from the harmful effects of solar radiation.

Vitamins in fresh tomato

vitamins- this is a group of organic compounds, united on the basis of their absolute necessity for the normal functioning (in other words, for life) of organisms that cannot synthesize them on their own from inorganic chemical elements and substances through photosynthesis. And since we are not plants and not green, without vitamins we are nowhere.

It is predetermined by evolution, a Higher power, aliens or a virtual reality program (choose it yourself at your own discretion) that our body receives vitamins from food, except for vitamin D. The system is configured in such a way that if we eat, then exactly as many vitamins are taken as necessary, not a drop more. Everything superfluous is brought out. Therefore, using natural natural vitamins “in small doses in large quantities” is not only safe, but also useful! But at the same time, remember the words of the famous ancient Greek physician Hippocrates: “Everything is good in moderation!”
