Many gourmets like to eat meat with tomatoes and cucumbers.

In addition, tomato and cucumber salad is extremely popular.

But for lovers of such meals there is bad news: it turns out that eating the above-mentioned vegetables at the same time is a gross mistake.

Especially if a person wants not only to eat his fill, but also to benefit from the food.

Why Tomatoes and Cucumbers Should Not Be Eaten Together

But the second quality is preserved only if the fruits are consumed at different times.

Cucumbers contain an enzyme that destroys vitamin C and prevents this compound from being absorbed normally.

But tomatoes are a source of ascorbic acid!

Thus, a person who simultaneously eats cucumbers and tomatoes does not bring any benefit to his body.

Want the above mentioned fruits to retain their beneficial properties? Avoid eating them together!

However, if you really love tomato and cucumber salad and cannot imagine your lunch without this dish, then do not exclude the dish from your diet.

But know: salad is not as healthy as it may seem at first glance. However, it is not harmful either.
