DO YOU KNOW THAT TOMATOES CAN HELP PREVENT STROKE?

A daily cup or two brewed black or green tea could be beneficial to your health in overall and can even help speed up weight loss.The health benefits of tomatoes are not in doubt anymore. Tomatoes contains vitamin C, and lycopene. Lycopene is an antioxidant that experts say can protect from stroke. Research has shown that fruits rich in lycopene such as tomatoes, pink grapefruit, pawpaw, watermelon, and guava, may help lower the risk of prostate and other cancers. New study have found that tomato is a rich source of lycopene which may help reduce the risk of suffering a stroke by half a more. Cooked tomatoes tend to have a greater effect on blood levels of lycopene than raw tomatoes or tomato juice. Cooking breaks down tomato's cell walls and makes it easier for your body to absorb the antioxidants. But tomato juice is rich in nutrients such as magnesium, potassium, zinc, fluoride, vitamins A, C, organic acids and more. Researchers found that men with highest levels of lycopene were at half the risk of suffering a stroke than men with this lowest levels of this chemical substance. Stroke is more common than most people realize  Nearly 90% of the strokes that take place in Nigeria is Ischemic strokes, which occur as a result of a blockage (usually a clot) in a blood vessel that supplies blood to the brain. A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a weakened blood vessel ruptures. There is a growing incidence of strokes in people between the ages of 18 and 65 due to obesity and uncontrolled high blood pressure. A stroke takes place in the brain. If the blood supply to the neurons (nervous cells in the brain) in the brain is cut off either because of a blood clot or a disease of the blood vessels, those neurons die. That's what a stroke is. Although strokes do run in families, it is both preventable and treatable. Tomatoes also improves immune function, prevents blood from clotting.

Unquestionably believe that which you said.
Your favorite justification appeared to be
on the internet the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to
you, I definitely get annoyed while people consider worries that they just don't know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
