At this rate, scientists will have to come up with a better description for the tomato than mere ’superfood’.

While it has long been credited with cutting cholesterol and preventing some cancers, the fruit now appears to have two more healthgiving benefits.

Protection against sunburn and helping keep the skin looking youthful are the latest pluses, a study has found.

Professor Mark Birch-Machin said tomatoes could provide a cheap and easy way of improving health.

“I went into the study as a sceptic,” he added. “But I was quite surprised with the significance of the findings.”

Researchers at Manchester and Newcastle universities recommend two tomato-based meals a day for optimum health.

Possible menus include a glass of tomato juice with breakfast and a salad later or tomato soup for lunch and pasta with a tomato sauce for dinner.

To test the fruit’s ability to protect the skin, ten volunteers were asked to eat five tablespoons of tomato paste mixed with olive oil every day for three months.

Another ten had a daily dose of olive oil – minus the tomato paste.

Tests using ultra-violet lamps showed the tomato-eaters were a third better protected against sunburn at the end of the study than at the start, the British Society for Investigative Dermatology’s annual conference heard.

Other tests suggested the tomato-based diet had boosted production of collagen, the protein that keeps skin supple.

If that were not enough, the fruit also protects our mitochondria – the elements of cells which turn the food we eat into energy.

Professor Birch-Machin, of Newcastle University, said: “Being kind to our mitochondria is likely to contribute to improved skin health, which in turn may have an anti-ageing effect.”

The researchers stressed, however, that their findings were not an excuse to throw away the suncream. Professor Lesley Rhodes, a Manchester University dermatologist, said: “People should not think tomatoes in any way can replace suncreams but they may be a good additive.

“If you can improve your protection through your diet then over several years this may have a significant effect.”

She added: “These weren’t huge amounts we were feeding the group. It was the sort of quantity you could easily manage by eating a lot of tomato-based meals.”

The fruit’s benefits are credited to lycopene, the pigment behind its distinctive red skin.

Lycopene, a powerful antioxidant capable of mopping up free radicals – the harmful molecules linked to cancer – is made easier for the body to absorb when tomatoes are cooked or processed.

“Even when they’re very tiny, they have an intact thirst reflex or a drive to drink,” Dr. Jennifer Anders, a pediatric emergency physician at the center, told Reuters Health. “When they have that thirst and they want to drink, the fluid they need to drink more of is their breast milk or formula.”

Because babies’ kidneys aren’t yet mature, giving them too much water causes their bodies to release sodium along with excess water, Anders said. Losing sodium can affect brain activity, so early symptoms of water intoxication can include irritability, drowsiness and other mental changes. Other symptoms include low body temperature (generally 97 degrees or less), puffiness or swelling in the face, and seizures.

“It’s a sneaky kind of a condition,” Anders said. Early symptoms are subtle, so seizures may be the first symptom a parent notices. But if a child gets prompt medical attention, the seizures will probably not have lasting consequences, she added.

Water as a beverage should be completely off limits to babies six months old and younger, Anders and her colleagues say. Parents should also avoid using over-diluted formula, or pediatric drinks containing electrolytes.

Anders said it may be appropriate in some cases to give older infants a small amount of water; for example to help with constipation or in very hot weather, but parents should always check with their pediatrician before doing so, and should only give the baby an ounce or two of water at a time.

If a parent thinks their child may have water intoxication, or if an infant as a seizure, they should seek medical attention immediately, she advised.

On the other hand, tests scores were lower among preschoolers whose mothers had relatively high mercury levels in their blood during pregnancy. And mothers who regularly ate fish during pregnancy were more likely to have such mercury levels than non-fish-eaters were, the researchers report in the American Journal of Epidemiology.

The findings add to evidence that fish can be brain-food, but underscore the importance of choosing lower-mercury fish during pregnancy.

“Recommendations for fish consumption during pregnancy should take into account the nutritional benefits of fish as well as the potential harms from mercury exposure,” write the researchers, led by Dr. Emily Oken of Harvard Medical School in Boston.

Oily fish such as tuna, salmon and sardines contain omega-3 fatty acids, which are important in fetal and child brain development. The problem is that fatty fish are more likely to be contaminated with mercury, a metal that is toxic to brain cells, particularly in fetuses and young children.

Because of this, pregnant women are advised to avoid certain fish altogether: shark, swordfish, king mackerel and tilefish. These fish are particularly high in mercury because they eat other fish and are long-lived, over time accumulating mercury in their fat tissue.

Fish that are high in omega-3 but relatively lower in mercury include canned light tuna, which has less mercury than albacore tuna, and smaller oily fish like salmon. White-meat fish such as cod and haddock tend to be low in mercury, but have less omega-3 than fattier fish.

Currently, U.S. health officials recommend that pregnant women eat no more than 12 ounces, or roughly two servings, of fish per week.

    Nankai University attached stomatological hospital Director Chen Ruiyang said that diabetes, the gastro-intestinal tract disease, liver disease, nephritis and heart disease may cause the halitosis.

    Chen Ruiyang said that the majority diabetics are accompanied by the varying degrees the immunologic function barrier, in the oral cavity pathogenic bacteria increase, therefore causes gingivitis and parodontitis, produces the ill-smelling smell. Of diabetic Canada has the endocrine function disorder, in the body fluid ketone body increase, the ketone body along with the secretion saliva and breath through the oral cavity, will have the halitosis, in the morning after awaking, the halitosis is quite obvious.

    Gastric disease patient’s halitosis generally is because the stomach creeping motion is unusual, in the stomach food dyspepsia, causes the back-streaming to the esophagus. Gastric disease halitosis is quite obvious, assumes the sour stink. The chronic gastritis and gastric ulcer may have the halitosis. Once in the oral cavity presents in the stomach the back-streaming food sour odor, then explained that has gastritis and esophagitis exists, needs to take medicine the treatment.

    Generally, the duodenal ulcer and inflammation enteropathy does not have the halitosis. Liver disease patient’s halitosis assumes putrefactive odor generally. This is because the liver function of liver disease patient is unusual, causes in the blood urea nitrogen and ammonia content increases, but the ammonia discharges a part after the breath from the oronasal. The liver disease patient has the obvious halitosis, usually is the performance which the liver disease aggravates, needs to diagnose promptly. Once has the liver stupor because of the liver disease, simultaneously is accompanied by the oral hemorrhage and obvious halitosis, will explain the liver failure, the patient life will soon arrive at the terminus.

    When nephritis patient presents the kidney function exceptionally, will have the obvious halitosis. The patients felt in frequently the mouth has the smelly brined vegetable flavor, but other people may smell the bashful stink.

    Cardiac patient’s oral cavity unusual smell for the mild putrefactive odor, oneself can also feel that in generally the oral cavity has the unusual smell, moreover cleans the teeth and rinses mouth not remarkable results. Heart disease caused the halitosis is in oral cavity the bacteria colony changes to be the result. Moreover treats heart disease’s medicine to suppress the saliva the secretion, in the oral cavity bacteria increases, will cause the halitosis.

    The experts reminded, the oral cavity partial disease caused the halitosis, may receive the quite good result after the treatment. The body-wide disease caused the halitosis, purely depends upon the oral cavity topical treatment not to have the remarkable results, needs to coordinate the whole body to get sick the treatment to show results.
