Tomatoes and kale are more effective when eaten together There is a statement in the 2015 edition of the Chinese Prostate Cancer Treatment Guidelines that tomatoes and green tea may be effective in preventing prostate cancer. In fact, Western scientists did an experimental study on the prevention of prostate cancer by eating tomatoes (tomatoes{) and kale together as early as 2014. In 2014, scientists from the University of Illinois and Columbus University conducted the following animal experiment: they injected the same number of prostate cancer cells subcutaneously into the posterior abdominal ribs of 206 male rats, and then grouped them together for 22 weeks to observe the development of prostate cancer cells developed in the rats. They added 10% tomatoes to the diet of the first group of rats, 10% kale to the second group, and 10% tomatoes and 10% kale to the third group. It was found that the rats that ate both tomatoes and kale had the most dramatic treatment effect, with a 52% reduction in tumor size, and those tumors grew slowly. From the histological sections of the tumors, the differentiation of the cancer cells was sluggish, while the degree of apoptosis of the cancer cell nuclei was quite obvious. This shows that tomatoes and kale together can indeed prevent the development of prostate cancer. It would make sense to advocate eating tomatoes and kale together, which would be a great thing for your health. 7 “unexpected” about tomatoes 1.

Tomatoes are nutritious and suitable for both young and old, but nowadays they are becoming more and more “unsettling” to the general public. The fruit body is red, “a look is ripened”, and some are spikes, hard core, when buying can not help but be guilty of muttering. The substance that makes tomatoes ripe and red early is “ethylene” that is applied to the surface of the tomatoes. This plant growth hormone is used because the ripening process of the tomato itself is completed by the ethylene in its own body, after the artificial addition of ethylene, the ripening of tomatoes can play a “catalytic” role. Ethylene is not harmful to humans and can evaporate under natural conditions, so it can be guaranteed to be safe. It is best to store tomatoes before consumption: tomatoes just bought home is best not to rush to eat, because tomatoes have a “ripening” process, and the appearance of ripening and reddening substances coated “ethylene”, in the ripening can continue to evaporate. If you are really “psychologically challenged” by ethylene, you can take them to boiling water and peel off the skin before eating them.
