The Many Health Benefits of Tomatoes and Basil

• Though raw tomatoes are great for you, cooking them releases even more of the benefits. Tomatoes don’t lose any of their nutritional value in the high heat processing.
• If purchasing tomatoes nutritionally it is better if they are fresh, however it is better for you if purchasing already cooked to purchase in a glass container as no chemicals are leached through as when processed in a can. Fresh is always Best though. It’s pretty much the only fruit that is better for you when it’s cooked. I love Italian food so this is great news.
• When possible opt to buy organic tomatoes as they will have a higher dose of lycopene (a powerful antioxidant) than that of non-organic produce.
• Now for Basil – Basil is considered an excellent source of vitamin K and manganese, a very good source of copper and vitamin C, and a good source of calcium, iron, folate and omega-3 fatty acids. You don’t cook basil you stir it through after you have taken your soup off of the heat. Then top soup with a sprig of Basil for decoration.

We have “Hippocrates” to thank for the saying – “Let Food be thy Medicine & Medicine be thy Food”

Considered to be one of the most influential figures in the history of medicine and healing, Hippocrates was ahead of his time when, around the year 400 B.C, he advised people to prevent and treat diseases first and foremost by eating a nutrient-dense diet based on Fresh, Whole foods.

The foods that you eat each day play a critical role in controlling inflammation levels, balancing blood sugar, regulating cardiovascular health (including blood pressure and cholesterol levels), helping the digestive organs to process and eliminate waste, and much, much more. Did you know that certain anti-inflammatory foods even contain powerful active ingredients that help control how your genes are expressed?

Because foods influence inflammation levels, blood sugar, energy, hormones, brain, and heart health, they truly do act like medicine once consumed. A healthy diet plays a role in how genes are expressed and can have a positive effect toward preventing disease, even when a disease may appear to be hereditary.

Medicinal foods to include in your daily diet,  include all fresh vegetables and fruits, organ meats, grass-fed meats, healthy fats like coconut, nuts and seeds, sea vegetables and what are now being classed as superfoods like cocoa, papaya, spinach, kale, blueberries, broccoli, cooked tomatoes, oats, blackberries, garlic, brazil nuts, walnuts and black pepper.
