Here's the interesting part:
🍅 Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that is fat soluble. That means your body can absorb it more efficiently when you eat it with a source of healthy fat.
🥑 Avocado provides plenty of healthy monounsaturated fats, which may help your body absorb more of the lycopene from tomatoes.
In one human study, eating tomato salsa with avocado resulted in about 4.4 times greater lycopene absorption compared with eating the salsa alone.
🔥 So instead of eating foods separately, think about pairing them strategically.
Tomatoes + avocado = 🍅 More lycopene available for your body
🥑 Healthy fats
🌱 More nutrient-dense meals
😊 And an amazing flavor combination
