I did a project on tomatoes in my third year in the university, and I deem it a great opportunity to share with you few  merits that come with the consumption of tomatoes. 

• The seeds of tomatoes possess certain gel which prevents the blood clotting and becoming sticky. Also, it is regularly recommended by health professionals as a natural aspirin alternative.
•  The damaging effects that the habit of smoking brings such as increase in blood clotting can be minimized by regularly consuming the  tomatoes.
• The intake of tomatoes aid in regulating the level of cholesterol in the human body, and also helps with the maintenance of a good circulation of blood through the body and also maintains a good blood pressure.
• Tomato are very rich nutrient sources. Nutrients and minerals such as Vitamins, Calcium and the antioxidant,Lycopene, can be obtained from eating tomatoes. The body needs these nutrients in addition to others to function properly. Lycopene aids in the fight against carcinogenic substances (substances that causes cancer).
