A tomato is packed with a range of health benefits. One of the best-known benefits of the tomato is the lycopene found in it. Lycopene is an antioxidant that helps fight free radicals. This has shown to reduce the risk of prostate cancer, rectal cancer, cervical cancer, mouth cancer and colon cancer. In addition to antioxidants, tomatoes have vitamins A, C, and K, which helps prevent hemorrhages, and nicotinic acid, which reduces cholesterol levels.
