EATING TOMATOES HELPS TO PREVENT PROSTRATE CANCER.

According to studies conducted by the researchers David Neal and Vanesa Er from Cambridge and Bristol University (United Kingdom), eating 10 medium tomatoes every week reduces de risk of suffering of prostrate cancer by 20%. This is due to the large quantity of the antioxidant lycopene that can be found present within them.

Prostrate cancer is the second most common form of cancer in men and even though it emerges in men over the age of 50, the majority of cases are of men over the ages of 65.
Tomatoes can be consumed as part of a salad, in juices and in the typical ‘sofrito’, which is the base for numerous dishes of the Mediterranean diet.
