We're talking about the prostate.
Usually, during a routine medical check-up,
men find out about any changes in this gland.
The most common of these changes is in its size.

an enlarged prostate doesn't necessarily mean it's cancer.

Most of them are associated with urination.
There might be difficulty urinating or excessive urge to use the bathroom.

Did you know that some changes in your daily habits
can make a significant difference in the health of this gland?
One of these changes is very simple:
adding a quite common fruit to your diet.
You probably already consume it,
but maybe not in the right way and quantity to obtain incredible benefits.
We're talking about tomatoes.
Despite most of us consuming them in salads and with savory foods,
they're considered a fruit because of their seeds.
This food helps prevent the onset of various prostate problems, such as:
Prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate);
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (enlargement of the prostate);
and tumors.
A study conducted in Mexico revealed that the lipid extract of red tomatoes
was able to reverse prostate enlargement.
Apart from the reduction in size,
researchers also noticed a process of regeneration of gland cells,
in addition to a decrease in other harmful markers.
Moreover, the extract was also able to reduce blood pressure.
This tomato extract has been extensively studied for its anti-cancer effects,
among which we can highlight the decrease in metastasis in prostate cancer.
Some studies show the link between tomato consumption
and the reduction in the incidence of prostate cancer.
Researchers found that those who consumed more than ten servings of tomatoes per week
significantly reduced the risk of developing the disease.
All of this is thanks to lycopene, the substance that gives tomatoes their red color
and seems to have a protective effect on the prostate.
However, it's important to emphasize that lycopene is properly activated
when the tomato is consumed cooked.
In this state, its absorption increases significantly.
The absorbed lycopene accumulates mainly in the prostate,
preventing inflammation in that region.
Other lycopene-rich foods, like guava and other red fruits,
also help in preventing diseases that affect the prostate.
Now that you know the benefits of tomatoes for prostate health,
how about starting to include this fruit in your diet?
