This lowers the risk of stroke and heart attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Protection of the prostate and tumors: Several clinical studies have found a link between high lycopene levels and a lower incidence of prostate, stomach, and colon cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Skin protection from within: Regular lycopene consumption has been shown to increase the skin&#8217;s UV resistance and slow down photoaging (wrinkle formation caused by sunlight).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eye health: The lutein, zeaxanthin, and beta-carotene it contains protect the retina from blue light and reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How to use it best<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lycopene is fat-soluble, and its cell wall is most effectively broken down by heat.
