Tomatoes are high in vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant. Vitamin C activates your body's natural energy and helps maintain a strong resistance in cold environment. Vitamin C also has a positive effect on resistance during and after physical exertion.

Tomatoes contain fibre, just like other vegetables, potatoes, wholemeal bread or legumes, for example. Since there are different types of fibre, it is important to get fibre from different types of foods. Eating different dietary fibres helps with natural bowel movements and proper bowel function.
