TOMATOES EQUAL ANTIOXIDANTS

Tomatoes are full of antioxidants. Not only do they contain antioxidants, they are packed with vitamins A and C, as well as folic acid. There are many varieties of tomatoes to choose from. In our garden, we have Heirloom, Big Boy, and Organic (I bought from a local farmer’s market.) I’m especially careful of what I put in my body because I know that “YOU ARE WHAT YOU DON’T ELIMINATE.” And because I’m especially careful about my skin, I look for fruits and vegetables with vitamin C. Collagen, the skins’ support system, is reliant upon vitamin C as an essential nutrient which works in our bodies as an antioxidant to help prevent damage caused by toxins from the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat. Almost daily, I go out in my garden and pick tomatoes for my husband to take to work, and for myself to snack on during the day.

    Your tomatoes look good!! KinKay likes the cherry/grape tomatoes and I am always looking for “small” healthy snack items so I will be adding these to my list. Hopefully next year I will get some of my own planted. Home grown always tastes better and now a days are better for you.

    I’ve been eating one or two a day since I can get them fresh from my garden. I’m going to miss them when they stop growing.
