Lycopene superfoods (includes apricot, papaya and tomato puree) The nutrient lypcopene is a simple chemical compound and part of the same family of phytochemicals as carotene. Lycopene is the agent responsible for the red colour of quite a few food types. Usefully, unlike many healthy agents, this useful phytochemical does not become less effective if subjected to heat, but is essentially improved by being heated. . Lycoprene's most valuable benefit is that it is an antioxidant and is thought to be an asset in the battle to lower the risk of cancer. Lycopene is the most potent eliminator of singlet oxygen, which is connected with skin aging. It is also thought to impede the growth of atherosclerosis. |
