Tomato paste: a very effective remedy for skin aging
-
There has been recent research into the effects of tomato paste on skin and wrinkles. Do you have to put tomato paste on your skin, like a mask? No, in the study, test subjects ate 5 tablespoons of puree per day, and after the test period, those who ate 5 tablespoons per day were found to have more radiant skin and wrinkles reduced.
The test persons: better skin
-
The group of test persons were divided into two groups: one group ate 5 tablespoons of tomato paste daily, the other group ate tablespoons with a mix of olive oil and puree. The effects on the skin of the first group were better. About 5 years ago a similar test was done on old women. There, the results were similar: skin improvement from eating tomato paste.

The tomato, full of anti-oxidants
-
The tomato is the only vegetable in which the anti-oxidants are well preserved, whatever form the tomato eventually emerges. A godsend for the skin, or rather: for your wrinkles! So whether you eat tomato ketchup or tomato paste. The anti-oxidants remain in the same amount. Puree is of course a very concentrated form of tomato, so you eat a lot of anti-oxidants by eating 5 tablespoons a day.
Which anti-oxidant is it then?
-
A tomato appears to contain a fair amount of lycopene. Lycopene is an important anti-oxidant. Oxidants affect the skin and cause aging. This includes aging of the skin due to wrinkles due to sunlight, smoking, poor nutrition, stress. (free radicals). Anti-oxidants therefore protect the skin against these influences and ensure fewer wrinkles. The main cause of skin aging and wrinkling is sunlight. And it is not only about sunlight to which your skin is exposed by sunbathing in the summer, but your skin also ages due to normal sunlight in the winter. Lycopene specifically protects against the aging caused by the sun.
Other benefits

The study also showed that eating tomato paste leads to a lowered cholesterol level and a lower risk of prostate cancer.

Eat tomato puree, but beware!
-
Cans of tomato puree also contain salt. So if you have high blood pressure, or tend to have high blood pressure because this runs in the family, then you should pay attention to this. Eating tomato puree is not bad in itself, you can wash down a bite with water. Or you drink it like tomato juice, diluted with water. You will notice that this also curbs your appetite, so you automatically eat fewer snacks.
