The secret to a healthy heart: Simple tomato sauce
made with onion, olive oil and corn flour could prevent strokes and
cardiac arrest
"The Mediterranean secret to longevity and a healthy heart is down to a simple tomato sauce, researchers believe.
Sofrito - made out of tomato as the main ingredient along with onion, olive oil,
corn flour and occasionally garlic - is eaten widely around the Med but
scientists could help prevent a heart attack or stroke.
Spanish
researchers have found that tomato-based sauce contains as many as 40
antioxidants, called polyphenols, which are believed to protect the
heart from 'oxidative stress.'
Polyphenols are natural antioxidant molecules derived from vegetables.
But to get the health benefits the ingredients have to be combined in the sauce, rather than eaten separately."
