Alkaline Food: Tomatoes

Tomatoes are an amazing source of magnesium, copper, and potassium. Because it contains a high amount of dietary fiber and protein, this veggie can help protect you against heart disease and cancer because of a powerful antioxidant known as lycopene.

As a good source of fiber, tomatoes provide about 1.5 grams per average-sized tomato. They’re also a great source of a few vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin C, Folate, and Vitamin K1. Studies found that high concentrations of carotenoids in tomatoes can protect against breast cancer development.

Another study also concluded that tomatoes might protect against sunburn, with 40% less sunburns after eating a bit of tomato paste with olive oil each day for ten weeks.
