- In addition, our tomato soup also contains vitamins A, B6, B11 and copper, which also help ensure a good resistance.
Thanks to these resistance-supporting vitamins and minerals, you’ll be good to go after a bowl of tomato soup. Vitamin C and copper are also antioxidants, which help protect cells from outside influences by capturing free radicals. Read on quickly!
2. Tomato soup helps prevent cell damage
Tomato soup is a source of antioxidants, including vitamins C and E, as well as various minerals such as copper and manganese. Although pure organic tomato soup by itself is rich in antioxidants, for our own tomato soup we chose to increase the antioxidant value even further. By adding paprika, for example, the vitamin C content of this tomato soup is even higher. With one serving you already get more than your daily amount. To our own organic tomato soup we also added various herbs, such as oregano and basil. These add flavor and are rich in antioxidants. So together with the garlic that is also in our soup, they make for a healthy soup.
3. Tomato soup supports your bones and muscles
When you drink fresh tomato soup, you are usually immediately struck by its powerful taste. But tomato soup is not only powerful in terms of taste. It also contains various healthy nutrients that, among other things, support your body:
- The dose of potassium is important for muscle function and the nervous system and is good for blood pressure.
- The vitamin K in tomato soup is important for bones and supports blood clotting.
- The minerals calcium and phosphorus in tomato soup play a role in bone formation and help keep your bones strong.
So do you want to work on a healthy and strong body? Then definitely put tomato soup on the menu. This is also deliciously satiating due to the savory umami flavor of tomatoes.
4. Tomato soup offers support for blood pressure and blood vessels
Because tomato soup is high in potassium, it helps maintain good blood pressure. Your blood pressure is the force with which your blood pushes against your vessel walls. You don’t want this pressure to be too high or too low. So tomato soup can be beneficial for this. Moreover, a delicious bowl of tomato soup also contains an ample amount of vitamin C, which in turn is beneficial for supple veins.
5. Tomato soup supports your skin
Who would have thought that drinking tomato soup regularly could contribute to more beautiful locks and healthy skin? Yet it does. Among other things, the vitamin C in tomato soup helps your body produce collagen, a substance that helps maintain strong and healthy skin. Vitamin C also helps protect your cells and tissues from oxidative damage caused by UV radiation from sunlight. The vitamin A in tomato soup supports your skin from the inside out.
6. Tomato soup supports brain function
It doesn’t stop with the benefits of vitamin C. In fact, another, but by no means less important, benefit of vitamin C is that it can contribute to several important brain functions. Among other things, it is good for your memory and concentration and contributes to your ability to learn. Tomato soup is therefore a real brain food!
