EAT TOMATOES TO STAY THIN
Stay trim is one of the benefits of tomatoes, says a new study. A team at Reading University has found that eating tomatoes leaves one feeling satisfied, suppresses the urge to snack and also helps one shed excess weight.
According to researches, it could be because tomatoes are rich in compounds which alter levels of appetite hormones. This makes them a cheap way to keep hunger pangs at bay. In fact, the study is based on findings from research into the benefits of enriching white bread with fruit as well as vegetables.
A small group of women with average weight, aged between 18 and 35, were offered cream cheese sandwiches that had been made with either white bread or bread that had been enriched with carrots or tomatoes. It was thought that the extra fibre provided by the carrot would make the carrot bread lunches the most filling. Instead, the tomato bread was the most satisfying.
