Tomato & Garlic Wellness Drink
Ingredients
- 2 ripe tomatoes, chopped
- 1 small garlic clove
- ½ cup water
- 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

Tomatoes provide lycopene, an antioxidant studied in relation to prostate health, while garlic can be a nutritious part of a balanced diet. However, this drink is not proven to “drain” or shrink the prostate or treat urinary problems. Persistent difficulty urinating, weak urine flow, pain, blood in the urine, or inability to urinate should be medically evaluated.
