Cooked tomatoes good for battling cholesterol

Cooked tomatoes could have the same advantages as statins for patients battling against high blood pressure or high cholesterol levels.

According to a study, cooked tomatoes could be an ‘effective alternative’ to statins, the class of drugs prescribed for conditions that can result in heart problems.

From Dailymail.co.uk:

The secret lies in high levels of the compound lycopene which gives ripe tomatoes their bright red colour. This powerful anti-oxidant is essential for good health as it helps lower the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Cooked tomatoes are best as tests showed the body can absorb more lycopene from these than raw fruit.

Experts in Australia analysed the results of 14 international studies into the benefits of lycopene over the past 55 years.

They concluded that it could provide a natural defence to raised levels of so-called ‘bad cholesterol’ – or low-density lipoprotein – in the blood.

The effect was comparable to small doses of statins which are used to treat many of the 2.5million-plus Britons with high cholesterol or blood pressure

Tomatoes have particularly high levels of lycopen, as per one of the study’s authors, Dr Karin Ried, of the University of Adelaide.

Less satisfying sex lives for obese people

Less satisfying sex lives for obese people

A new study has revealed that obesity may lower levels of sexual satisfaction, especially for women.

The study evaluated 91 obese men and 134 obese women who completed a sexual functioning questionnaire before enrolling in a weight loss study.

From news.yahoo.com:

We found that there was lower sexual satisfaction and lower sexual quality of life among women than men, and overall sexual quality of life was low among both groups,” Dr. Truls Ostbye, a professor in the department of community and family medicine, said in a Duke news release.

The researchers also compared the obese patients’ scores to the results from a group of cancer survivors and a general population group. Obese women’s scores were lower than both those groups’ scores, while obese men’s scores were between the scores of the cancer survivors and the general population group.

“Our findings contribute to a growing body of research that indicates obesity is associated with reduced sexual functioning and sexual quality of life among both men and women,” Ostbye said.

The study questionnaire included nine areas: interest, desire, arousal, orgasm, satisfaction, behavior, relationship, masturbation, and sexual problems.
