tomato - heart



If you could notice, a tomato usually has four chambers just like our heart. Tomatoes are also a great source of lycopene which is a plant chemical that reduces the risk of heart disease and several cancers.
In the women’s health study shows that an American research programmed which checked the health of 40,000 women has found that women with the highest blood levels of lycopene had 30% less heart disease than women who had very little lycopene.

One Canadian study, published in the journal Experimental Biology and Medicine, said there was “convincing evidence’ that lycopene prevented coronary heart disease.
