Tomatoes have all 4 major carotenoids: 1) alpha-caroten, 2) betacaroten, 3) lutein, and 4) lycopene. While they have individual benefits, when all four are present in a food item, they work in synergy to provide a powerful health boost.
I am an optimistic, can do, and never quit guy. The spirit of hope indelibly marks my DNA. My research at The Ohio State University helped people discover the best in themselves and change their personal lives, public organizations, and whole communities. I bring the same spirit and enthusiasm to my blog to help those who grieve who find themselves suddenly alone, navigate their grieving. Join my more than 24,300Twitter (@alwaysgoodstuff).

I have started to love tomatoes, especially in sandwiches, yum yum!
Thank you for the comment, Dee. tomatoes have always been a part of my life since I was a child. My dad had a big tomato garden. The tomatoes were in most of our meals. Those meals were mainly pasta. I love the taste of a tomato picked off the vine on a hot summer’s day. Stay healthy and have a wonderful week. Ray
