Superfoods containing lycopene (includes apricot, papaya and spiny bitter gourd) Lycopene is a non-synthetic chemical compound and one of the same group of phytochemicals as carotene. This chemical is behind the vivid red colour of some fruit, vegetables and pulses. Unlike numerous other vitamins, this useful phytochemical does not degrade if cooked, rather it is genuinely made more effective by the cooking process. . Lycoprene's most interesting theraputic value is that it acts as an antioxidant and seems to be an asset in the battle to lower the probabilty of cancer. It is the most effective quencher of singlet oxygen, which is correlated with skin aging. It is also thought by many experts to curtail the development of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels. |
