According to a nutritionist, tomatoes contain not only vitamins A, B, K, E, C, potassium, and beneficial acids, but also have a choleretic property.
Despite the fact that tomatoes have several beneficial properties for the body, there are health risks if they are consumed in excess.
Tomato, Kvashnina says, is an acidic product in itself, and coarse fiber also irritates the gastric and duodenal mucosa. Therefore, if there are problems with these organs, they can be aggravated. The tricky thing about tomatoes is that usually when painful symptoms arise, people think of vegetables last – as a rule, they blame fried, salted, and smoked foods.
Tomatoes contain not only vitamins A, B, K, E, C, potassium, and beneficial acids, but also have a choleretic property. Therefore, Kvashnina says, those people who have been diagnosed with gallstone disease should eat tomatoes with extreme caution, as they can provoke an attack due to the movement of stones in the ducts and occlusion (blockage) of the biliary tract.
