Today I’m going to cover the interesting benefits of lycopene. Lycopene is a phytonutrient.

Lycopene is in certain foods, including:
• Tomatoes 
• Grapefruit 
• Goji berries 
• Gac
• Asparagus 
• Parsley 
• Basil 

The ability of lycopene to be absorbed and concentrated in the body occurs when you heat the substance. For example, if you consumed tomato paste, you would get about 4x more lycopene than if you consumed raw tomatoes. Olive oil increases the absorption even more. Lycopene is a fat-soluble phytonutrient, so it requires bile. Adding fat can help support the absorption. 

Potential benefits of lycopene:
1. It can be good for an enlarged prostate
2. It may help support blood pressure 
3. It can act as a blood thinner 
4. It can help in the regulation of blood lipids 
5. It’s a powerful antioxidant 
6. It can act as an anti-inflammatory 
7. It helps boost the detoxification enzymes of the liver 
8. It may have a certain anti-tumor property 
9. It can help protect against things like hydrogen peroxide
