Drinking tomato juice before and during exercise can relieve fatigue

A Japanese research group recently reported that drinking pure tomato juice before and during exercise can reduce exercise fatigue In previous studies, researchers have found that tomatoes contain antioxidant lycopene and a variety of vitamins, minerals and organic acids, which can reduce fatigue In order to find out the specific effect of Xihong persimmon juice on anti fatigue, a joint research group was set up by kogomei company, a famous Japanese food enterprise, and Suzuka Medical University to investigate the effect of tomato juice on fatigue biomarkers in blood and the effective intake time In the experiment, the researchers asked one group of experimental rats to drink tomato juice one hour before exercise, another group of experimental rats to drink tomato juice one hour after running on the equipment, another group of experimental rats to drink tomato juice 30 minutes after exercise, and then run for another 30 minutes after resting for one hour Six hours after exercise, the researchers measured the concentration of the fatigue biomarker cytokine "TGF-b" in the blood of the experimental rats They found that compared with the experimental rats who drank tomato juice before and during exercise, this indicator decreased by 50% to 60%, while the experimental rats who drank tomato juice after exercise had little change The team believes that this shows that tomato juice has anti fatigue effect, but it can not eliminate fatigue The team believes that the water-soluble ingredients in tomatoes, such as amino acids and citric acid, can alleviate fatigue.
