Lycopene
Promote The Health Of Heart

Lycopene is a Carotinoid (a red pigment) appears in tomatoes and other red
fruits. Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant. Lycopene is a derivative from
tomatoes which is responsible for giving many fruits and vegetables a healthy
red color. This natural substance is an unsaturated carotenoid pigment, similar
to Beta-Carotene. While Lycopene has no vitamin A activity, research has shown
it to be one of the most important natural antioxidants produced today. Lycopene
in tomatoes can be absorbed more efficiently by the body if processed into
juice, sauce, paste and ketchup. The chemical form of Lycopene found in tomatoes
is converted by the temperature changes involved in processing to make it more
simply absorbed by the body. Lycopene is related with reduced risk of macular
degenerative disease, serum lipid oxidation and cancers of the lung, bladder,
cervix and skin.
Lycopene is a potent antioxidant that may help to encourage the
health of the heart, prostate, skin and eyes.

Lycopene is mostly stored in blood and tissues such as the testis, adrenal
glands, liver, prostate, breast, colon, and lungs. Lycopene is a fat-soluble
essence that requires the occurrence of dietary fat for correct absorption into
the body. A diet low in fat can harm the body's ability to absorb Lycopene.
Also, certain cholesterol-lowering medications, margarines enriched with
synthetic plant sterols such as Benecol, and fat substitutes such as Olestra can
also decrease the body's ability to absorb Lycopene. Lycopene also reduce lipid
per oxidation, suggesting a decreased risk of Cardiovascular Disease. Lycopene
is currently being evaluated for its possible protective role in cancer
prevention, especially cervical, prostate, and pancreatic and stomach cancers.
