Wonderful Tomatoes !!!

You will find it very interesting  that the amount of tomatoes you eat over a lifetime could help determine how vital your brain is in old age.

Tomatoes contain Lycopene- a potent antioxidant .

It has been found that more the lycopene in blood,the more is mental acuity in old age.

Lycopene gets into the blood virtually only one way: from eating tomatoes.


Also watermelon and pink grapefruit contain small amount of lycopene,but the major source is tomatoes,and notably processed tomato products,such as tomato paste,tomato sauce,and canned tomatoes.

It has been found that women with "lycopene deficiency" were least able to take care of themselves in old age-least able to walk,bath,dress and feed themselves.They were 4 times more apt to require assistance than those with above average lycopene.
