Can eating these help reduce your risk of stroke?
A diet rich in tomatoes may reduce the risk of having a stroke, according to new research.
It was reported that ‘the risk of stroke was cut by 55% by having a diet rich in lycopene’.
The ‘tomato-pill’ Ateronon can make it easy for people to get their daily dose of the antioxidant lycopene in just a single capsule.
Doctor Alf Lindberg, former Chair of the Medical Board of the Nobel Prize Foundation and Scientific Director of CamNutra Ltd, comments: “We’ve been aware of the health benefits of tomatoes for some time. The new study has revealed those with the most lycopene in their bloodstream were the least likely to have a stroke.
“Although, a diet of eating at least five fruit and vegetables a day, may lead to a reduction of strokes, lycopene in tomato form is still difficult for the human body to absorb. Ateronon’s formula makes lycopene bioavaible and allows people to benefit from this proven antioxidant that reduces inflammation and prevents blood clotting."
The-one-a-day, food supplement, Ateronon, contains the equivalent of three kgs of Mediterranean tomatoes cooked in olive oil. In capsule form, Ateronon, is the most bioavailable lycopene on the market and is more easily absorbed into the body than being digested in its food form.
Doctor Lindberg continues:
“Ateronon inhibits the oxidation of LDL cholesterol and reduces the risk of plaque build-up in our arteries, ensuring that blood can flow easily around our bodies. What causes a stroke is when there is a lack of blood flow to the brain often caused by a blockage such as a haemorrhage. By ensuring that arteries are kept clear, could mean that some blockages could be prevented.”
As Ateronon is a naturally sourced food supplement, it has no known side effects when taken as directed and can be taken alongside prescription medication too, however, it’s always best to consult your GP or Pharmacist before taking if you have any questions.
Ateronon is available to buy online from www.ateronon.com and is priced at £29.99 for one box of 30 capsules. It is also available to buy in Boots stores and independent pharmacies across the UK.
