The higher the lycopene content in human plasma, the lower the incidence rate of coronary heart disease. Lycopene also has a good anti-cancer and anti-cancer effect. Its strong antioxidant activity can eliminate the free radicals that promote the growth of cancer cells, and prevent the growth of cancer cells. It was found that the content of lycopene in serum of women with hysteromyoma and cervical cancer was lower than that of normal women. When the content of lycopene in serum is high, the risk of gastric cancer and gastrointestinal cancer is low.

Compared with raw tomatoes, processed tomatoes can improve the concentration of lycopene and other antioxidants in blood. This is because the high temperature destroys the cell wall of tomato cells, thus increasing the release of lycopene and other antioxidants. In addition, in the process of tomato cooking, peanut oil, salad oil and other vegetable oils are often used, and these oils will help tomatoes release lycopene and other fat soluble antioxidants naturally, and give full play to the antioxidant effect.

In addition, cold mixed tomatoes are also a simple and delicious cold dish, and the method of making them is very simple. Eating more tomatoes is particularly good for our health.
