[Healthy diet] Eating more tomatoes can prevent arteriosclerosis. This saying originated in the 1960s, when it was discovered that people living in countries along the Mediterranean coast rarely suffered from benign prostatic hyperplasia or cardiovascular diseases. Cardiovascular disease treatment experts further studied and concluded: these regions have a warm and humid climate, suitable for tomato growth, and tomatoes are one of the main foods of the locals. Based on this, medical experts ultimately determined: the lycopene contained in tomatoes is the key component to prevent benign prostatic hyperplasia.
