Healthy eating can come from the strangest of sources.
Sure, we all know if you eat plenty of fruit and vegetables and cut down on sugary snacks you are on the right track.
But there are foods we just don’t associate with healthy eating. Or, at least, we just didn’t even think about them in the first place.
In a slightly amusing new study, experts have found that munching on a tomato-based pizza can help stop your skin burning in the sun and get rid of wrinkles.
Boffins got volunteers to eat five tablespoons of pureed tomato paste for 12 weeks, which toughened up their skin and made it less likely to burn.
It may look like the humblest of ingredients that make up your salad bowl – but the tomato is a genuine superhero.
I mean, it even has its very own red cape. Disease and illnesses beware – the red peril is in town.
Not convinced? Well, leading pharmacist is so sure that he has compiled a book highlighting of decades of research into the health-giving properties of the humble fruit. The Red Bodyguard goes at lengths to stress the importance of the humble tomato to our daily diets.
The more observant of you may have noticed it has been a while since we posted a new story.
This is basically because DietPixie currently has no editor. Our former editor, Holly, recently had a baby and understandably found the stresses and strains of juggling the demands of a full-time job, website and motherhood a little too much.
But don’t worry. We are currently in the process of looking for a new editor and the site should be back up and running soon.
