In the study, women who consumed the highest levels of lycopene—equivalent to eating four tomatoes a day, either by drinking tomato juice or eating them raw—were the most successful.

Tomato juice is low in sodium (a component found in table salt), low in fat, and a rich source of vitamins A and C, which help boost the immune system and maintain good eyesight.

Scientists also analyzed that people who eat a lot of tomatoes have a significantly lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Tomatoes are also rich in fiber, which helps break down bad cholesterol and remove toxins from the body.
