TOMATOES: SMALL FRUIT, BIG POWER
đ„Drinking fresh, ripe tomato juice daily can actually âSWITCH OFFâ cancer-promoting genes (especially in prostate, breast, and digestive tract) while âSWITCHING ONâ *protective genes*.
đ„Even more astonishing is the fact that tomato juice can thin the blood as effectively as ASPIRIN without the side effects, protecting against blood clots, heart attacks and strokes.
đ„ One glass can reduce platelet aggregation within hours, it is that effective.
đ„Fresh, ripe tomato juice is unusually high in lycopene, a rare antioxidant which is 7 times more potent than vitamin E in neutralizing body endangering free radicals.
âïžNote that if your concern is getting more lycopene from tomato. Cooked tomato increases the bioavalability of lycopene by almost 2 to 3 times.
