Tomato juice every day? Here’s what it really does to your body

Tomato juice is often praised for its lycopene content — a strong antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative damage. But what happens if you drink it every single day?

This juice also contains potassium, vitamin C, and anti-inflammatory compounds that support cardiovascular function, liver health and even skin appearance.

Some studies show it helps regulate blood pressure and lower LDL cholesterol — especially when consumed without added salt or preservatives.

According to a recent article from Pravda, daily consumption can be beneficial, but it may also cause issues for people with hypertension, reflux or kidney stone history.

Health benefits

• Fights inflammation and free radicals (lycopene effect);
• Lowers cholesterol and supports blood flow;
• Improves digestion and protects the liver;
• Low in calories, promotes fullness.

Who should be cautious

• People with high blood pressure (watch for sodium levels);
• Those with acid reflux or gastritis;
• Individuals prone to kidney stones.

By the way, even healthy foods need moderation. One cup a day can help — as long as it’s pure and unsalted.
