Here’s what’s actually interesting: tomatoes are packed with lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that’s great for your heart and skin. So even if they make you a little puffy, they’re still doing good things behind the scenes. It’s like that friend who’s a little messy but has a huge heart.
You don’t have to fear the tomato. You just have to get to know it—and maybe keep the juicy, raw ones for smaller meals. You’re the boss of your belly, after all.
