▷Roasted tomatoes=Tomatoes are rich in a nutrient called lycopene. Lycopene is effective in eliminating free radicals and lowering blood cholesterol levels. It also has the effect of inhibiting the proliferation of prostate cancer cells. 100g of tomatoes contains 5mg of lycopene. Lycopene is a fat-soluble ingredient and is easily absorbed when cooked in oil or mixed with oil. If you eat tomatoes cooked with oil, you can consume about 30% more lycopene than if you eat raw tomatoes. When frying in oil, it is best to use olive oil that is high in unsaturated fatty acids. When salt is sprinkled, the sodium in the salt balances the potassium in the tomatoes in the body and promotes cell activity. This is because sodium lowers the potassium concentration in the body, which has increased due to the potassium contained in tomatoes. Additionally, salt puts a thin film on the outside of tomatoes, blocking some of the air, and preventing vitamin C from being oxidized.
▷Protein=Protein is effective in weight management by keeping you feeling full longer and helping build muscle. Protein increases metabolism, and if your metabolism is high, you burn calories easily and lose weight easily. Protein takes longer to break down than other nutrients and requires more energy. Therefore, protein not only helps with weight loss, but it also helps people reduce their calorie intake while preserving muscle mass to keep the body healthy. It is recommended that 45-60% of protein come from animal sources and 40-55% come from vegetable sources. Animal protein is rich in minerals such as essential amino acids and iron, and stimulates skeletal muscle synthesis. Vegetable protein contains a lot of dietary fiber and vitamins. ▲ Chicken breasts, beef, pork, tuna, salmon, eggs, tofu, and beans, etc.
▷Ssomttam=Somtam is a healthy dish that is low in calories and allows you to enjoy a variety of delicious vegetables. The main ingredients of som tam are papaya, peanuts, dried shrimp, and cherry tomatoes. Papaya has a low calorie content of 38 kcal per 100g and is rich in nutrients such as beta-carotene and aspartic acid. It is especially rich in potassium. Beta-carotene is a representative antioxidant nutrient. When it enters the body, it is converted into vitamin A and strengthens the nervous tissue in the body. Aspard acid is a type of amino acid, which helps to suppress fatigue and increase endurance, and potassium is a nutrient related to heartbeat and vascular expansion. If your body lacks potassium, your blood pressure may rise and heart palpitations may occur.
