Tomato Facts: tomatoes are heart-healthy. Tomatoes help lower cholesterol. Since a tomato has 0 grams of cholesterol, it doesnât add cholesterol to the diet. Plus, a cup of fresh tomato provides 9% of the DV for fiber, which has been shown to lower high cholesterol levels. Tomatoes are also a good source of niacin (vitamin B3), which has been used for years as a safe way to lower high cholesterol levels. Tomatoes reduce the risk of heart disease. Tomatoes are a very good source of potassium.
Plant foods are rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber, and special phytonutrients, all of which are good for the heart. Asparagus, bell peppers, and bok choy, for example, are rich sources of B vitamins, especially vitamin B6, which helps lower homocysteine (an amino acid linked to heart disease) and C-reactive protein (a marker of inflammation).
