Tomatoes for Heart health
Heart disease — including heart attacks and strokes — is the world’s most common cause of death.
A study in middle-aged men linked low blood levels of lycopene and beta-carotene to increased risk of heart attacks and strokes.
Increasing evidence from clinical trials suggests that supplementing with lycopene may help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol.
Clinical studies of tomato products indicate benefits against inflammation and markers of oxidative stress.
They also show a protective effect on the inner layer of blood vessels and may decrease your risk of blood clotting.
