Healthy Tomato-Hearty Tomato
A TOMATO is red and usually has four chambers, just like our
heart. Tomatoes are also a great source of lycopene, a plant chemical that
reduces the risk of heart disease and several cancers.
The Women’s Health Study – an American research programmed
which tracks the health of 40,000 women
– found women with the highest blood levels of lycopene had
30 per cent less heart disease than women who had very little lycopene.
Lab experiments have also shown that lycopene helps counter
the effect of unhealthy LDL cholesterol.
One Canadian study, published in the journal Experimental
Biology and Medicine, said there was convincing evidence that lycopene
prevented coronary heart disease.
