Eating red helps keep skin from turning red. Volunteers who consume 5 tablespoons of high-in-lycopene tomato paste daily for 3 months had nearly 25% more protection against sunburn in one study. Even better, skin had more collagen, which prevents sagging.
Another reason to toss extra tomatoes in your salad: German scientists report that higher skin levels of this antioxidant correlate to fewer fine lines and furrows. Health Bonus : Research suggest that lycopene may also lower your chances of heart disease: In one study, the women with highest level of it had a 34% reduced risk.
