The beneficial properties of tomatoes have been repeatedly reported on the pages of scientific publications.. The pages of EatThis, NotThat report that introducing tomato juice into your diet can help reduce the risk of developing cancer..

According to well-known nutritionist Lindsey Wengler, due to the high content of compounds such as carotenoids and lycopene in tomato juice, the likelihood of developing inflammatory processes in the body decreases, thereby reducing the risk of developing cancer cells.. The use of tomato juice was especially effective in relation to prostate cancer, breast cancer and oral cavity.. Scientists have also found that the introduction of foods rich in lycopene into the diet helps to normalize blood pressure and strengthen bones..

These data are confirmed by the results of a scientific study, which were obtained by a group of scientists from the Catholic University.. Analysis of the compounds that make up tomato juice showed the ability to stop the growth of cells that cause malignant neoplasms.

“Despite the fact that tomato juice can help reduce the risk of cancer, you should not rely solely on this product.. If oncology is suspected, all the doctor's recommendations should be strictly followed with the passage of all necessary examination methods, ”the study says..

One of the conditions for the use of tomato juice is the method of its preparation.. It is best to drink freshly squeezed juice - as tomato juice, which is sold in stores, contains sugar and flavors that deprive this product of its positive qualities..
