[Nutritional Guide] Tomatoes: Tomatoes are rich in beta-carotene, especially in vitamin content, ranking first among vegetables. The lycopene in tomatoes can reduce calorie intake, decrease fat accumulation, and help maintain balanced nutrition. Tomatoes also contain glutathione, an anti-cancer and anti-aging substance. Studies confirm that when glutathione levels in the human body rise, the incidence of cancer decreases significantly.
[Dietary Restrictions] People with cold stomachs should avoid eating tomatoes, as they are cold in nature and acidic, which can alter stomach acid levels and be harmful to those with stomach ulcers. Additionally, women with a history of menstrual cramps should avoid tomatoes. Do not eat tomatoes on an empty stomach.
[Target Audience] Suitable for people with fever, dry mouth, summer heat, thirst, poor appetite, and cancer patients. Also suitable as a beauty and health food.
[Tip] Do not cut the tomato slices too thin, as they may turn into a tomato mush during stir-frying, affecting the appearance of the dish. P40-41
