Cherry tomatoes, also known as baby tomatoes or "Sun Queen" tomatoes, are rich in various vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, offering numerous health benefits to the human body.
1. Relieves eye fatigue: Cherry tomatoes are rich in vitamin A, which can help alleviate eye fatigue and improve symptoms such as dry eyes caused by prolonged use of the eyes.
2. Beautifies and nourishes the skin: Cherry tomatoes contain abundant carotenoids, vitamin E, and vitamin C, which can effectively improve rough and aging skin, providing moisturizing and skin beautifying benefits.
3. Promotes bowel movement: The malic acid and citric acid in cherry tomatoes help stimulate gastrointestinal digestion and relieve constipation.
4. Promotes development: Special substances such as glutathione and lycopene present in cherry tomatoes can promote human growth and development, particularly benefiting the physical development of children.
Consuming cherry tomatoes in moderation can supply the body with various essential nutrients and significantly improve overall health. However, individuals with specific health conditions, such as excessive stomach acid, should consume them in appropriate amounts to avoid discomfort caused by excessive intake.
