Tomato is a very healthy vegetable.

Red fruits contain many useful components.

We are talking about both vitamins (A, C, K) and microelements (potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, etc.)

Thus, moderate consumption of tomatoes has a positive effect on health.

The key word is "moderate". After all, tomatoes also contain unsafe components (solanine, nitrates), which should not enter the human body in large quantities.

How many tomatoes can you eat each day

A person who does not have serious health problems can safely eat 3 tomatoes a day.

This amount of fruit can be eaten at one time. But if you have problems with digestion, it is better not to risk it and limit yourself to one tomato.

By the way, the presence of problems with the gastrointestinal tract is a reason to reduce the daily intake to 1-2 fruits per day.

Also, in such a situation, it makes sense to give up daily consumption of tomatoes: take “breaks” sometimes.

Important reminder: Before making any major dietary changes, consult your doctor.
