When summer comes, Sister Qin not only loves to eat all kinds of fruits, but also likes to eat raw tomatoes. Why? Because the summer tomatoes are in season, they are red, and when you bite into them, they are sweet and sour, which is really raw and coughing! Not only can it be eaten raw, but it can also be used for stir-frying, and it has plenty of moisture, which is simply killing two birds with one stone!
Speaking of tomatoes, I have to talk to everyone about their benefits. Don't look at it as ordinary, but it's full of treasures!
01
Tomatoes have many benefits
● Maintain beauty and eat a good complexion
Heck, speaking of this, I think of me when I was younger. At that time, my skin was bright, just because I loved tomatoes! It contains vitamin C and antioxidants that help us resist the signs of aging and keep our skin firm and elastic. So, middle-aged and elderly friends, usually eat more tomatoes, the beauty effect is very good!
● Brighter eyes
We middle-aged and elderly people are prone to eye fatigue and vision loss. This is where the vitamin A and carotene in tomatoes come in handy. They can protect our retina, relieve eye fatigue, and make our eyes brighter and brighter.
● Stabilize blood sugar and make the body healthier
Friends who have diabetes, are you always worried about elevated blood sugar? Don't be afraid, just eat some tomatoes! The dietary fiber and pectin in it can slow down our absorption of sugar and help stabilize blood sugar. Moreover, tomatoes are very low in calories, so you are not afraid of gaining weight if you eat too much!
However, although tomatoes have many benefits, not everyone can eat them casually. The following four types of people should pay special attention, eating too much may have a bad impact on the body!

4 types of people eat tomatoes less
● Friends with renal insufficiency
Friends with renal insufficiency, your kidneys may not be able to excrete well. Tomatoes are high in potassium, so if you eat too much, it will increase the burden on your kidneys! So, you have to pay attention to controlling your intake to avoid causing more damage to your kidneys.
● Friends with stomach cold and stomach pain
Friends with stomach chills and stomach aches, you have to eat tomatoes leisurely. Because tomatoes are cold foods, eating too much can easily aggravate the symptoms of stomach cold, resulting in aggravated stomach pain. So, it's better for you to eat less, or choose to fry it before eating.
● Friends who are taking anticoagulant medications
Some middle-aged and elderly friends need to take anticoagulant drugs for physical reasons. At this time, you have to pay attention! This is because tomatoes contain a high content of vitamin K, which has the function of preventing blood clotting.
If you eat a lot of tomatoes while taking anticoagulant drugs, it may affect the efficacy of the drugs. So, let's eat less!
● Partners with rheumatic diseases
Rheumatic diseases are often accompanied by symptoms such as joint pain and muscle aches, which TCM believes to be caused by dampness in the body. Tomatoes, on the other hand, are cold and can be eaten raw to aggravate dampness in the body, which may exacerbate joint discomfort and pain for rheumatism patients. Friends who suffer from rheumatoid disease, the diet should be biased towards warm supplements, although tomatoes are good, you still have to endure the pain of cutting, a small amount of fresh or fried food.
I hope my sharing can be helpful to everyone! Remember, although tomatoes have many benefits, they should also be eaten in moderation according to your physical condition.
