Tomatoes Lower Your Blood Pressure

What? Did you read that correctly? Yes indeedy you did... In a recent study, people whom experienced hypertension that consumed tomato extract daily for 8 weeks experienced a 10-point drop in systolic blood pressure and a 4-point drop in diastolic pressure.

Tomatoes have lycopene which lowers blood pressure. Lycopene is also known to be an anticancer and has heart-protective effects.

Tomatoes are an excellent source of vitamins A, C and K, and are also low calorie and low fat.

Hurray for the Tomato!
