5 Health Benefits of Tomatoes

  • Support Heart Health: You can get a healthy serving of potassium from tomatoes. One medium tomato contains about the same amount of potassium as a banana. Potassium and sodium are both vital ingredients for heart function.

  • Support Exercise Recovery: Tomatoes contain several electrolytes, which are essential for basic cell functioning. The potassium, sodium, magnesium, and fluoride in tomatoes may help decrease muscle soreness and exercise fatigue after a workout.

  • Help Protect Against Dementia: Potassium helps power the heart and plays a role in nerve function throughout the body. One recent study found that people who consumed more potassium and less sodium had better cognitive function.

  • Cooked Tomatoes Help Prevent Prostate Cancer: Cooking tomatoes may compromise the vitamin C content, but it increases the availability of several important antioxidants that may protect against cancer growth.

  • Help Balance Blood Sugar: Tomatoes can help manage blood sugar in people with diabetes. Their fiber content helps regulate blood sugar and bowel movements.

Four Ways to Be Grateful—And Happier

  • Boost your self-esteem by switching your perspective: The journey of self-care often begins with boosting your self-esteem, and you can do that by shifting your perspective. Whenever you’re confronted with a negative situation, or whenever you just have a bad day, boost your self-esteem by refocusing your perspective on one good thing that’s happened to you or even the smallest things you’re grateful for.

  • Strengthen your relationships: There’s a reason we gather around the table with people we love a couple times a year. It makes us feel good about our places in other people’s lives, but it also strengthens our relationships when we practice gratitude with each other.

  • Foster healthy habits: A big part of what stops people from having better habits is that people develop ideas about how they should feel when they’re doing things like exercising or eating healthy, and if they don’t feel that way, then they don’t do it. So much of healthy habits involves the acceptance that you might not have a feeling that matches what the intended action should be.

  • Remain intentional: Start or end your day by writing down three things you’re grateful for. Whatever the reason, write it down in a gratitude journal and use that as a reference that you come back to whenever you’re struggling or you just need a reminder about what inspires you.

3 'Healthy' Foods With Way More Sugar Than You Think

  • Canned soup: For those looking for a quick, healthy lunch option, soup can be a great go-to meal. However, canned soups can sometimes be less healthy than you think. Although most notable for savory flavors and sodium content, soups can also be a source of sugar.

  • Granola bars: A popular meal and snack food for kids, and beloved by adults as well, granola bars are easy and convenient. However, this convenience doesn't always translate to good nutrition. Oftentimes, store-bought granola bars come with unexpectedly high levels of added sugar.

  • Low-fat yogurt: Lower-fat yogurt means fewer calories from fat compared to full-fat yogurt, but many options trade fat grams for added sugar.

4 Best Back Exercises for Workouts to Build Strength and Size

  • Superman Holds: Working your back using just your bodyweight is tough. Short of pullups or inverted rows, you're pretty much out of luck—aside from this heroic exercise that torches your mid and upper back muscles. The simple movement can be more difficult than you might expect, so make sure you go slow and know what you're doing before you get down on the floor to fly.

  • Cat-Cow: You're not building your back with this yoga staple, but it is an important exercise to help you prep for the rest of your workout. The goal here is to take your spine to the extremes of flexion and extension. Even if you're not going to use it as a warmup, you can help to improve your posture and move better by adding it to your daily routine.

  • Half-Kneeling Archer Row: This warmup exercise is great for your shoulders, but there's plenty of payoff for your rear delts and rhomboids, too. Use this as an opener for back day workouts to get ready for your heavier lifts.

  • Band Bent-Over Row: You'll get used to the row in its many forms if you're working on your back—so start out with a light-resistance version that can serve as a warmup or a key part of your routine. The band will allow you to work through the range of motion without breaking out the weights, while still challenging you with some resistance.
