Tomatoes and Prostate Wellness
Lycopene has been widely studied for its role in supporting prostate tissue health. While it is not a treatment, diets rich in tomato products are often included in prostate-friendly nutrition plans.
Cooked tomatoes, tomato juice, or lightly simmered tomatoes are especially beneficial for lycopene availability.
