According to a new study published in the British Journal of nutrition, eating tomatoes and their products for a long time has a protective effect on heart health Tomatoes, as well as tomato juice, tomato salad and ketchup, are rich in lycopene Researchers from Tufts University in the United States analyzed the dietary data of hundreds of patients who participated in the American Heart Disease Research Project "the Framingham Offspring Study" The data came from an 11 year follow-up survey of patients The participants recorded the intake of tomatoes and their products in their daily diet The results showed that the risk of coronary heart disease was reduced by 26% in the participants who ate tomatoes and their products frequently in 11 years New research results show that regular intake of lycopene has a protective effect on the cardiovascular system Scientists say the new study further supports the inverse relationship between lycopene and cardiovascular risk However, whether lycopene or other ingredients are the key factors of protecting the heart of tomato remains to be further explored.
