Tomatoes...we all know they are healthy but here are a few things you might not know. Unlike some foods that retain more nutrients when raw, cooking tomatoes actually increases their nutrients, specifically lycopene! Why lycopene? You may have heard the link between lycopene and prevention of some cancers, and though that may be true, newer studies suggest otherwise. Interestingly though, lycopene intake DOES increase bone strength-pretty cool! Tomatoes are also great for the ol' ticker, lowering cholesterol and preventing clots.I "heart"ily approve!
