Is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable?

By Lori Bongiorno
Technically speaking, a tomato is a fruit. That's because the scientific definition of a fruit doesn't take into account how sweet a natural plant product is or whether it's served for dinner or dessert.
A fruit is officially defined as "the fleshy or dry ripened ovary of a plant, enclosing the seed or seeds."
The simplest way to figure out if any plant product is a fruit or a veggie is to ask this question -- Does it have seeds inside? If so, it's a fruit. If not, it's a vegetable.
That makes the following items fruits, not veggies:
  • Tomato
  • Cucumber
  • Squash
  • Zucchini

To banish bloat

Reach for Calcium-packed foods
How much 1,000 milligrams calcium
Researchers aren't sure why, but consuming high-calcium foods before you bare (nearly) all may help deflate PMS puffiness as well as the bloat that results from eating salty foods, says Toby Smithson, R.D., a spokeswoman in Waukegan, Illinois, for the American Dietetic Association. PMS bloating may occur when levels of calcium and vitamin D—which can fluctuate during your cycle—are low. To hit the RDA, try combos of 1 cup lowfat milk (290 mg calcium), 8 ounces lowfat plain yogurt (415 mg calcium) and 2 1/2 oz lowfat cheddar (295 mg calcium).
