Foods rich in lycopene (includes water melon, red bell peppers & tomato puree) The phytochemical lycopene is a natural chemical compound and member of the carotenid family. It is behind the deep red color of some fruit, vegetables and pulses. Fortunately, unlike many other nutrients, it does not become less effective if cooked but is in actuality improved by being heated. . Its key benefit is that it acts as an antioxidant and seems to help to lower the chances of cancer. Lycopene is the strongest quencher of singlet oxygen, which is correlated with aging of the skin. It is also believed to prevent the growth of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels. |
