Krasnoyarsk residents were told how tomato paste fights aging

The regional Office of Rospotrebnadzor told Krasnoyarsk residents about the beneficial properties of tomato paste.

According to experts, the product contains lycopene, a carotenoid pigment that gives tomatoes such a bright red color. It protects skin cells from the damaging effects of ultraviolet rays, slows down the aging process and regulates skin pigmentation.

In addition, pasta is an excellent source of cobalt, potassium, magnesium, iron, copper, molybdenum and some other useful elements.

However, the product also has contraindications. The fact is that tomato paste contains many organic acids that can irritate the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines. Therefore, Rospotrebnadzor employees do not recommend using it during exacerbation of chronic gastrointestinal diseases, increased stomach acidity, ulcers and gastritis.

In order for opened tomato paste to be stored longer and delight you with its beneficial properties:

• transfer it to a non-metallic container (if you bought the paste in a tin);
• add vegetable oil to the jar so that it completely covers the surface of the paste;
• Use only a clean spoon to remove the paste from the jar.
