OREANDA-NEWS.Experts from Japan have found out what regular consumption of tomato juice can lead to. Scientists believe that this drink is able to lower the level of pressure. 

According to experts, such effect is possible because the tomato juice contains lycopene pigment which is a powerful antioxidant. Experts have proven that the effect of lycopene is enhanced by vitamins A, C and E, which are also contained in tomatoes.

During the study volunteers were regularly drinking the juice from the tomatoes. After 4 weeks it was established that half of the participants decreased the level of cholesterol in the blood. In addition, volunteers decreased blood pressure.
