Obesity is a progressive chronic disease, associated with abnormal or excessive fat accumulation in the body.
People who have a BMI of over 30 are considered to be obese.
According to the statistics provided by Obesity Cabada, the rate of obesity has increased at an alarming rate in Canada over the past few decades.
Approximately over 30% of Canadian adults are considered obese that may require medical support to manage their disease.
Epidemiologically, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, arthritis, cancer, and other major health problems have been found in most obese patients, causing concern to the scientist community in the health care system.
Furthermore, obesity is associated with increased mortality and a number of complications including diabetes, heart disease, dementia, and cancer.
Believe it or not, obesity has been found contributing to one 10 premature deaths among Canadian adults age 20 to 64. As of today, the health care system in Canada has spent between $5 billion and $7 billion for the treatment of obese related complications.
Conventionally, treatment of obesity is depending on the medical condition, however, the commitment of reduced weight through a healthy diet accompanied by moderate exercise has been proposed to target the complications.
Dr. Angela Makris, the lead scientist in examining dietary approaches to the treatment of obesity
wrote, "Popular dietary approaches for weight loss have generated widespread interest and considerable debate. While energy balance remains the cornerstone of weight control (i.e., calories still count), new diets and books promising weight loss by limiting certain foods or macronutrients rather than energy are constantly emerging and hitting the bestseller list".
And, "More effective weight loss options are needed to support healthy and sustainable eating behaviors".

Lycopene is a phytochemical found in tomato in the class of carotenoid, a natural pigment with no vitamin A activity found abundantly in tomatoes and other red fruits and vegetables, such as red carrots, watermelons, and papayas,
Tomatoes provide about 80% of the lycopene in the world diet. In plants, lycopene protects the host against excessive photodamage and perform various functions in photosynthesis.
On finding a potential compound for the prevention of obesity, researchers examined and compared the effect of lycopene and tomato powder on obesity-associated disorders.

Futhermore, elevated serum triglycerides, free fatty acids, and 8-iso-prostaglandin GF2α associated with lipid peroxidation and glucose homeostasis involved in the secretion of insulin from pancreatic beta cells were significantly improved by the administration of lycopene and TP supplementation.
Liver tissues oxidative stress markers induced overexpression of free radicals was reduced by lycopene and TP supplementation through a decrease of inflammatory proteins in adipose tissue.
Based on the findings, researchers said, "These results suggest that lycopene or TP supplementation display similar beneficial health effects that could be particularly relevant in the context of nutritional approaches to fight obesity-associated pathologies.".
Taken altogether, lycopene found in tomato may be considered a functional remedy, pending on the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
