A tomato not only enhances the test of the food, but its is also a natural sunscreen for your skin.

Why it works: – Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant found in tomatoes. It protects the skin from UV rays, reduces sun tanning and maintains collagen, which keeps the skin tight.

Pro-Tip:- The absorption of lycopene in the human body is significantly better from cooked or lightly sauted tomatoes. Therefor you should definitely include them in soups or vegetables dishes.
