The result of a study by American scientists was the proof that tomatoes are an excellent "protector" for the body of alcohol lovers.

“We conducted a series of experiments with the participation of laboratory mice,” researchers from the USA share their achievements. “And experimentally, we came to the conclusion that tomato is almost the main product in the diet of alcoholics and those who often allow themselves an extra glass.”

The fact is that tomatoes, as it turned out, have a positive effect on the liver and brain. Researchers divided the existing mice into two groups. One of the groups received a certain dose of alcohol along with a concentrate of ripe tomatoes. The second group got only alcohol. After a month, the researchers conducted a thorough analysis of the state of the internal organs of both groups of mice. And it turned out that in those animals that received alcohol along with a concentrated "snack" of tomatoes, the liver and brain showed healthier indicators than in those mice that were "taken to the chest" without tomato concentrate.

“The mice that did not get the concentrated substance had the same symptoms that are often diagnosed in people suffering from chronic drunkenness,” said American scientists, who intend to delve further into the development of this issue.
