Want to stay trim? Just eat tomatoes,says a new study. A team at Reading University has just found that eating tomatoes leaves one feeling satisfied,suppress the urge to snack and also helps one shed excess weight.
According to researches,it could be because tomatoes are rich in compounds which alter levels of appetite hormones.This makes them a cheap way to keep hunger pangs at bay.In fact the study is based on findings from research into the benefits of enriching white bread with fruit as well as vegetables.
A small group of women with an average weight aged between 18 and 35 were offered cream cheese sandwiches that can had been made with either white bread or bread that had been enriched with carrots or tomatoes.It was thought that extra fibre provided by the carrot would make the carrotbread lunches the most filling.Instead the tomato bread was the most satisfying.
