    When God created food, he wrote nutrition codes for all kinds of food The natural color of food is the most direct way to solve these codes Scientists have found that many colorful foods, especially red ones, are particularly good for health Among them, one of the most outstanding food is tomato There is a Western proverb: "the tomato is red, the doctor's face is green." it is used to describe the tomato as very nutritious In recent years, more and more medical researches have pointed out that tomato has a very good effect on promoting human health Tomato is rich in lycopene, vitamin C and other nutrients Among them, lycopene is the most antioxidant carotenoid Its antioxidant effect is 100 times that of vitamin E it can protect cells from oxidant attack, and can slow down or prevent breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, cervical cancer and other carcinogenic processes Scientists predict that antioxidants such as lycopene will increase life expectancy by 30% - 50% in the future The research on lycopene in European and American countries has been advancing continuously In the famous Mediterranean healthy diet, tomato paste is essential for every meal The incidence rate of cardiovascular diseases and tumors is obviously low, and the function of lycopene is very important The United States "time" once listed tomato as the most important food contributing to human health, and called lycopene "plant gold" Lycopene is the best guard for women's health Breast cancer is the main malignant tumor that endangers women's health About 1.2 million women in the world have breast cancer every year, and 500000 women die of breast cancer The results showed that tomato extract could reduce the formation of new blood vessels in breast tumor, and inhibit the growth of breast tumor by reducing or blocking the tumor supply With the development of the research on the antitumor properties and mechanism of lycopene, it provides a new safe and effective way to prevent and treat breast cancer At the same time, tomatoes are also the best weapon to protect men's health In modern society, the competition is becoming more and more intense, and men's work pressure is increasing Combined with a lack of exercise, prostate disease has become a high incidence in men And often eat tomatoes and other foods containing lycopene can reduce the incidence of prostate cancer It has been proved that lycopene can protect prostate cells from oxidative damage by inhibiting and scavenging free radicals through antioxidation American researchers followed 46000 men for six years and found that people who ate tomatoes twice or four times a week had a 26% lower risk of prostate cancer than those who did not After 13 years of clinical testing, Japanese urologists announced that lycopene can repair damaged prostate tissue, improve symptoms such as aging of prostate body and decreased resistance, and prevent recurrent prostate lesions The human body cannot produce lycopene by itself, and can only be supplemented by diet As a result, men who stick to lycopene intake add to their prostate "protector." People need to take 5 mg of lycopene every day People with prostate disease should take more Raw tomato, lycopene absorption rate is very low, cooked food is better Because the lycopene in tomato is more easily absorbed by human body after heating and cooking The best way is to eat it with a proper amount of fat The absorption rate will be greatly increased In addition, don't neglect tomato sauce, tomato juice and other tomato products on the table The lycopene in them is more easily absorbed than the fresh tomato, which can increase the intake of lycopene If you want to achieve the effects of disease resistance and health care, disease symptoms relief and auxiliary treatment through tomatoes, it is difficult to achieve the demand of daily meals The best way is to take exogenous supplement, adhere to take the "lycopene" extracted and purified from all natural mature and high-quality tomatoes In recent years, "lycopene" has been popular all over the world, becoming one of the most respected anti-cancer, disease resistance, health and longevity products.
