Tomatoes slow skin aging

-

The pigment that gives tomatoes their red hue (lycopene) turns on genes that slow the aging of skin cells and supportive elastin and collagen, halting the formation of wrinkles, fine lines and sagging, suggests research in the journal Dermato-Endocrinol­ogy. For best results, enjoy 1 cup of fresh tomatoes or 1⁄2 cup of cooked tomatoes daily.
