Lycopene rich foods (includes water melon, red bell peppers and tomato puree) The nutrient lypcopene is a simple coloring agent and member of the same family of phytochemicals as carotene. Lycopene is behind the dark red colour of quite a few fruits and vegetables. Fortunately, unlike many other nutrients, it does not become less effective if heated during cooking, but is genuinely made more effective by cooking. . Lycoprene's main medical value is that it acts as an antioxidant and is believed to be of use in the fight to reduce the chances of cancer. Lycopene is the most effective quencher of singlet oxygen, which is associated with aging of the skin. It is also believed to slow down the development of atherosclerosis. |
