BITE INTO A FEW TOMATOES WHEN YOU WANT A YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL SKIN

 When it comes to protecting the skin from damage to it by virtue of exposure to the sun, there is nothing better than tomatoes. Consuming adequate amounts of tomato-paste can shield the skin from potential damage from the sun's rays. They protect against premature aging of the skin, and signs of aging appearing on the skin.

The magical ingredient in tomatoes is lycopene.  Lycopene has been found to be effective in reducing wrinkles on the skin because it nullifies the effect of free-radicals in the body, which have   a fair hand in aging of the skin.

This is the pigment occurring in tomatoes naturally and giving them their typical red color. This is what makes tomato soup and tomato juice all the more red and tasty looking. 

Comprehensive studies indicate the development of enhanced skin protection in ladies who took to  a diet that had considerable amounts of processed tomatoes. The skin was less likely to get red, while the DNA did not stand at a risk of damage due to exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun.

The effect of sunlight on these volunteers and those who were given a dose of olive-oil were compared. Everyone was exposed to sufficient quantities of ultraviolet light from the sun before the trial and soon after its end. 

The volunteers who had adopted a diet for tomato paste were found to have resisted the harmful effects of ultraviolet light, while those on a diet of olive-oil were found to be susceptible to all the ill effects.

This proved that tomatoes do play a  significant role in the effect of ultraviolet rays on the body.
