Lycopene links to tomato brain benefits
A recent Spanish study has shown that consuming tomatoes daily, especially cooked tomato paste, enhances cognitive performance in middle-aged adults by increasing levels of the compound lycopene, which protects cells and acts as an antioxidant. The experiment resulted in improvements in attention and memory, with potential changes in the regulation of brain network activity. However, the study emphasizes the need for larger research to confirm the long-term extent of these benefits. Cooking plays a role in increasing the absorption of lycopene, which may further boost the benefits of tomatoes for the brain.
