The pill is called Ateronon which was designed in the laboratories of Cambridge Theranostics Ltd. which is a subsidiary of the Cambridge University.

The experts were able to extract the lycopene from the skin of the ripe tomatoes to be the primary active ingredient of the drug. The substance has been proven to help in fighting cancer, strokes, and heart disease.

The research cites the Mediterranean diet which uses tomatoes in majority of their dishes and the lower cardiac related cases in the region.

Lycopene is not absorbed by our bodies if this has not been broken down before intake. Cooking the tomatoes in the process ensure that one can take advantage of all its nutrients.

The Ateronon uses Lycopene as the primary component mixed with other substances derived from natural foods. The maker of the drug tested it on 150 people with heart problems and found out that it was beneficial to all of the subjects.

The experts are excited on how Ateronon can help fight mortality due to cardiovascular problems, and control cholesterol for many more. In Britain alone, 200,000 people succumb to heart problems before they reach the age of 75.

The Ateronin might also be more beneficial than the statins which are very popular drug of choice today. Statin seems to be ineffective in more than 60% of those who take it.

Further clinical trials are being conducted to further establish the effects of the new drug.

Seventy four subjects participated in the clinical trial which established that walking in a moderate pace and covering longer distances is a more effective way to improve the risk factors of cardiac patients compared to more vigorous and aggressive workouts.

Those who engaged in the right regimen demonstrated lower body fat and weight twice as much as those who engage in more intense exercise. The patients also showed improvements on blood pressure, cholesterol, and other aggravating factors which make them more probe to stroke and heart attack.

It has been long established that exercise is an essential component of rehabilitation after a heart surgery or heart attack. The therapy involved also helps cardiac patients control angina. Exercise plans though often involve stationary bike or treadmill in a slow pace with short duration. This proves to be of insignificant effects since they just burn a few calories.

Looking at the population entering rehab, the experts reveal that most of these patients are overweight and needs to get rid of some extra luggage.

The study followed a standard regimen of walking at moderate speed for about 45 minutes to an hour. The bout of exercise is designed to help the patients burn approximately 3500 calories on a weekly basis. They were also required to use the bike or treadmill for 8 minuets thrice a week.

The proponents suggest modification of cardiac programs to encourage patients to walk farther on a daily basis to lower the chances for cardiac arrest…
