✔️Cherry tomatoes - I made scrambled eggs with them... What are the health benefits?

How to make cherry tomato and scrambled eggs is simple. Beat the eggs, add milk, and mix. Then, cut the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the mixture, stirring again. Pour the cherry tomato and egg mixture into a heated pan and cook slowly over low heat, stirring gently with chopsticks. If you have time, you can also add onions or orange segments. The most important part of this dish is cooking or roasting the tomatoes. This significantly increases the nutritional value.

✔️ Eating fully ripe tomatoes cooked... increases the absorption rate of 'lycopene'

Cooking tomatoes helps with nutrient absorption. Heating well-ripened tomatoes enhances the absorption of lycopene, a component that helps prevent oxidation (damage and aging) of body cells, thereby aiding in the prevention of various cancers and cardiovascular diseases. Lycopene is the ingredient that gives tomatoes their red color. Due to its powerful antioxidant effects, it contributes to the cleansing of blood vessels that are heavily laden with triglycerides and cholesterol. Adding olive oil, which is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, makes it even more effective in purifying the blood.

✔️ What tomato ingredient helps clean blood vessels?

The routine components of tomatoes also work synergistically with lycopene to help clean the blood vessels. Consistent consumption can help prevent hyperlipidemia, arteriosclerosis, and further reduce the risk of cerebrovascular diseases such as stroke (brain infarction and hemorrhage), as well as myocardial infarction. According to the National Cancer Information Center, lycopene is a substance that lowers the risk of cancers such as prostate cancer. This is because it has antioxidant effects that prevent the oxidation of normal cells and reduce cancer cells. The absorption rate of lycopene in tomato sauce is much better than that of raw tomatoes. Unlike other foods, processed tomatoes are actually more beneficial for nutrient intake.

Why is egg protein so efficient?

According to the National Standard Food Composition Table (per 100g), fried eggs (2 pieces) contain 13.49g of protein. This is a substantial amount even when compared to the high-protein food representative, chicken breast (22.97g). Soybeans (yellow beans, boiled) contain 17.82g of protein. Mackerel has 20.2g. Egg protein is animal-based, which means it is well absorbed by the body. Eating 1-2 eggs in the morning and consuming meat or fish for lunch and dinner means there is no need to worry about meeting daily protein requirements. Eating eggs in the morning can also help improve brain activity due to the choline content, potentially enhancing study or work efficiency.
