Ce se întâmplă în creierul tău dacă mănânci trei luni pastă de tomate. Rezultatul i-a uimit pe cercetători • Newsweek România

A three-month study revealed that daily consumption of tomato paste improved cognitive test results and altered brain connectivity in participants. Researchers noted increased levels of lycopene, an antioxidant linked to brain health. However, the findings are preliminary and require further investigation to confirm long-term effects and significance. The study involved 42 middle-aged adults, with a comparison between a tomato-rich diet and a low-lycopene diet. While some cognitive improvements were observed, the small sample size for brain scans raises concerns about statistical validity. The role of lycopene and other compounds in tomatoes remains unclear, necessitating larger studies for conclusive evidence.
