Feb 19,2022
Lycopene is a carotenoid that gives tomatoes their vibrant red color and also boasts powerful antioxidant properties—so much so that its antioxidant effects even surpass those of beta-carotene. It excels in protecting the prostate, stomach, heart, and skin. A six-year study conducted by Harvard University, involving 48,000 male physicians, revealed that men who consumed tomatoes or tomato sauce more than twice a week had a 21% to 34% lower risk of developing prostate cancer compared to those who didn’t eat these foods regularly. Meanwhile, a study published in 2012 by the internationally renowned journal *Neurology* indicated that tomatoes and tomato-based products may help reduce the risk of stroke. Regularly enjoying tomatoes can also shield your skin from harmful UV radiation.
