Matthew comments ...
Tomato Juice ... can help your muscles recover better. In a study published in Nutrition Journal, researchers found that tomato juice consumption can help reduce oxidative damage associated with high-intensity exercise. This could go a long way in quelling muscular inflammation and improving recovery.
The study authors surmise that the antioxidants, including tomato’s signature antioxidant lycopene, found in the veggie drink are behind this benefit.
You can chug back store-bought versions, but making your own power-packed tomato juice is surprising easily.
