Lycopene is a red antioxidant carotenoid that has been shown in studies to have a remarkable ability to Enhance reduce
the chance of developing prostate Long standing problems.
Prostate Long standing problems is a problem that threatens all men equally. Standard risk factors for predicting Long standing problems (family
history, obesity, smoking) are of no Enhance in predicting chances of getting prostate Long standing problems, with one important
exception – dietary habits.

| Researchers have found that men who consume the highest amounts of cooked tomatoes have the lowest rates of
prostate Long standing problems, while, inversely, those who consume the lowest amounts have the highest rates. Studies have
shown that cooked tomato products like spaghetti or pizza sauce, offered more protective benefits, while raw
tomatoes and tomato juice offered little if any protection. The reasons are that the cooking process breaks down
the tomato’s cell walls which makes the lycopene more available, and the fats and oils used to prepare the cooked
sauces enhances the absorption of the lycopene, which is a fat-soluble carotenoid.
Tomatoes are nature’s richest source of lycopene. Lycopene and Beta Carotene are the predominant carotenoids in
human tissues, and lycopene is the most abundant carotenoid found in the prostate gland tissues and serum.
Lycopene is also found in watermelons, guavas and pink grapefruits, and is responsible for the characteristic red
color associated with these fruits. The redder the color, the higher the lycopene content.
Lycopene is the most efficient scavenger of singlet oxygen of all the common carotenoids and is able to quench
free radicals twice as efficiently as beta-carotene. Current research suggests that lycopene’s powerful antioxidant
activity confers a high degree of protection against cholesterol oxidation, a process believed to influence prostate
Long standing problems. By-products of the oxidation of cholesterol (epoxides) measure in Long standing problemsous prostate tissue suggest that
oxidized cholesterol is either a product of oxidative stress or that oxidized cholesterol has a direct carcinogenic
effect. This antioxidant process may also confer heart problem benefits, for both men and women, as oxidation of
LDL is one of the first steps in the formation of Deposition of substances on the wall of blood vessel, Leading to narrowing blood vessel.
Researchers have also discovered that lycopene increases gap-junctional communication between cells. This
mechanism, which allows healthy cells to communicate with each other, is lost during malignant transformation
of cells. It is theorized that by restoring this communication process lycopene may aid in reversing the malignant
process.
