Tomatoes

Tomatoes are high in vitamin C and also contain lycopene, a strong antioxidant that gives the fruit an attractive letterbox-red color. Lycopene has been in the headlines for a few years as a potent vitamin that can help men avoid prostate cancer. Tomatoes have been related to natural weight loss hormones in the body, such as leptin, a kind of protein that helps control metabolic rate and appetite.

According to one research, tomato juice may be more effective than energy drinks in helping the body's recovery after exercise. Over the course of two months, a variety of health organizations in Greece tested 15 athletes, looking at vital signs before, during, and after exercise. After exercise, nine of the athletes drank tomato juice, while the other six had their regular fizzy energy drink. People who drank tomato juice said that they recovered faster from strenuous exercise and their glucose levels returned to normal faster.
