Tomatoes are known to be healthy fruits that promote not just good health but also ensure healthy lungs.
For the study, about 650 adults underwent tests analysing lung function, after which the same test was performed 10 years later to determine how the participants' lungs aged over time. The participants from Germany, Norway and United Kingdom were given questionnaires that analysed diets and nutrition.
Additionally they were given a spirometry test that measures how much oxygen their lungs can take in. The team of researchers discovered the magic numbers of tomatoes seemed to be two a day, while three servings of other fresh fruit slowed the decline, as compared to people who included less than one tomato or less than one serving of other fruit a day. Processed food that included fruits and vegetables like tomato sauce did not appear to have the same benefits as normal tomatoes, especially in terms of lung health.
