Tomato Health Benefits for High BP

Tomatoes are low calorie foods packed with loads of nutrients. they supply you an array of vitamins, mineral and anti-oxidants. They are an excellent source of vitamin C, carotenes, vitamin K, niacin, folic acid, and dietary fibre. And what’s more, the number of calories provided by the vegetable is practically negligible.

A 100 gram serving of cooked tomatoes provides you with about 32 calories and 2 grams of fibre.

Being hypertensive and having borderline glucose levels, you can have large servings of tomatoes, up to 5 to 6 a day. Tomatoes are good for you. Importantly, being a rich source of dietary fibre, tomatoes will prevent your blood sugar from escalating, since, fibre helps keep diabetes in check. Eating tomatoes raw or in the form of juice or soup is recommended.
