TOMATOES ARE IN SEASON!
DID YOU KNOW?
Just one medium tomato packs 40% of your daily vitamin C! For people with CF, vitamin C helps boost immunity and enhance iron absorption—especially important if you’re prone to inflammation or frequent infections.
DID YOU KNOW?
That red color? It’s thanks to lycopene, a powerful antioxidant. Lycopene has been linked to reduced lung inflammation, and may help protect lung tissue from oxidative stress—a bonus for CF lungs!
DID YOU KNOW?
Lycopene is fat-soluble, meaning your body absorbs it better when eaten with fat.Add olive oil, avocado, or cheese for a delicious, CF-friendly high-fat snack that boosts nutrient absorption.
DID YOU KNOW?
Tomatoes contain fiber and natural compounds that support digestive function. With many people with CF managing GI issues, fiber can help promote a healthier gut—just go slow if you’re not used to high-fiber foods!
