Tomatoes

Food Fact:
Tomatoes are one of the most concentrated sources of lycopene, but cooking them actually increases the lycopene content that can be absorbed by your body, and also increases the total antioxidant activity. Eating a wide variety of lycopene-rich foods makes sense, as in addition to stroke prevention, this powerful antioxidant has been shown to have beneficial effects for heart disease, cancer, skin health and even sperm count.
