Prevents Prostate Cancer
Many studies have shown that consuming tomatoes high in lycopene reduces your risk of getting stomach, colon, and, most importantly, prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignancies in males. A UK research found that eating tomatoes may reduce the incidence of prostate cancer. According to the study, people who consume more than 10 servings of tomatoes each week lessen their risk by roughly 20%.
Lycopene is an antioxidant found in nature that prevents the growth of cancerous cells. Cooked tomatoes have more lycopene, which males should take advantage of. Observational studies have discovered associations between the chemical component lycopene with lower rates of prostate, ovarian, lung, and stomach cancer.
Tomatoes are natural cancer-fighting agents that are also one of the most delicious foods you can consume. Their lycopene content (once again) helps to lower the incidence of several cancers, including prostate, mouth, throat, pharynx, cervical, stomach, esophagus, rectal, colon, and ovarian. This is due to their antioxidant content (vitamins A and C), which aids in the battle against free radicals, which cause cell damage.
