According to a new study from the University of Adelaide in Australia published in the European Journal of menopause, ripe tomatoes can help reduce high cholesterol and high blood pressure in patients, thus reducing the risk of heart disease Its effect is similar to that of statins The researchers analyzed 14 international studies on Lycopene over the past 55 years The results showed that lycopene can effectively reduce the "bad cholesterol" (low density lipoprotein) and blood pressure levels in the blood, and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke The researchers say lycopene is the equivalent of a low-dose drug, but has no side effects of muscle aches and nerve damage The content of lycopene in ripe tomato is the highest Other good fruits rich in lycopene include watermelon, guava, papaya, apricot, etc The study also found that lycopene was better absorbed when tomatoes were cooked than when tomatoes were eaten raw Experts suggest that 500 grams of tomato juice or 50 grams of ketchup can be eaten every day to prevent heart disease.
