Lycopene

Benefits
Lycopene is a carotenoid that may boost heart health, prevent vision loss, and lower the risk of some cancers.

Medfit Recommendation
There’s no specific Medfit recommendation for lycopene, but it’s found primarily in fruit, so eat 4 servings of fruit each day -- which can make your up to 4 years younger.

Good Sources
The brighter the better. Pink, orange, and red fruits are generally rich in lycopene. For a lycopene boost, consider:
Watermelon
Tomatoes, tomato juice, and tomato sauce
Papaya
Pink grapefruit
Guava
Tip: It’s easier for your body to absorb lycopene from tomatoes that have been cooked, canned, or otherwise processed. Adding a little bit of fat helps as well, so cook your tomatoes with a splash of heart-healthy olive oil.
