The antioxidants (beta-carotene and lycopene) found in tomatoes are linked with a lower risk of heart disease and cancer. Tomatoes are also a great source for potassium, folate, vitamin C and vitamin K — all of which are essential in maintaining great heart health. Complement this meal with a tall glass of water infused with fresh lemon and cucumber slides.
