Cooked tomatoes in olive oil are THE BEST food for your prostate!
There, I said it. Tomatoes don’t get nearly the credit they deserve. Lycopene, the deep red carotenoid that gives tomatoes their color, has been consistently linked to prostate health in clinical studies. Perhaps even more interesting, how you eat tomatoes turns out to be just as important as how often you eat them. When tomatoes are cooked, their cell walls break down and lycopene becomes more bioavailable (more easily digested). Add olive oil and absorption improves even further, since lycopene is fat-soluble. In other words, a slow-simmered tomato sauce made with olive oil isn’t just comfort food, it’s one of the most efficient dietary ways to deliver lycopene to your body.
