08.10.2024 19:20

Tomatoes have a lot of “fans”: people who love them are ready to eat tomatoes every day in any quantities – whole or as additives to other dishes, for example, omelets or salads.

If there are no unpleasant consequences after taking this product, then you can determine for yourself how many tomatoes a day are acceptable for you to eat.

However, most nutritionists are convinced that you should not eat more than 2-3 fruits daily, so as not to encounter those same side effects.

These include heartburn, bloating, increased gas formation and abdominal pain. They occur due to the acids contained in tomatoes. An excess of the latter can cause digestive problems.

All these signs can serve as a signal that you have an intolerance to these vegetables or an allergy to them.

An allergic reaction may also be accompanied by a tingling tongue, rash, and other characteristic signs of an allergy.

In any case, the discomfort you experience is a reason to avoid eating fresh tomatoes, even if they are your favorite product.

People suffering from bladder problems should also avoid frequent consumption of tomatoes. This is due to the high acidity of the vegetable, which can irritate the walls of the bladder, causing sudden sharp urges to urinate, pain and urine leakage.

If you suffer from migraines, think twice before including tomatoes in your diet, as this vegetable is a trigger food that can cause attacks.

To sum up: scientists do not have a specific answer to the question of how many tomatoes can and should be eaten daily.

Common sense and your own well-being should guide you in this difficult process.
