Lycopene

What is Lycopene?

Lycopene, with the chemical composition of C40H56, is one of those chemicals that are not a necessary part of your diet. You’ve probably had a little bit of in your diet from time to time. You know tomatoes? Of course you do. You know that red color? That pigment is lycopene. It functions as an antioxidant, like a number of other chemicals, but it also has a variety of other effects that it can have on the body.

What’s In It for Me?

Well, we’ve already covered what’s so great about the antioxidant effect on your body. Reduction of free radicals, lowering of damage on your cells, we’ve already tread this ground. So what else can lycopene do for you?

There have been studies that indicate that lycopene can lower your risk for prostate cancer. I think there are a lot of people, myself included, that would like to avoid that. In addition, it can also help prevent cardiovascular disease. On top of that, it can also decrease your risk for being sun burned… and I know I really hate getting a nasty sunburn.
