Diet, Men and Prostate Cancer

By - Ted Escobedo 1 year ago

A healthy diet is about balancing different foods that are tasty as well as nutritious. Physicians advise that men eating a well-balanced healthy diet should:
• Eat antioxidant foods, including fruits (such as berries, watermelon, and tomatoes) and vegetables (such as squash and bell peppers).
• Include more cruciferous vegetables (such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts) in your diet. One preliminary study found men who eat three or more servings a week reduced their chance of getting prostate cancer. Another study found that men who ate 28 or more servings of all kinds of vegetables per week were 35% less likely to develop prostate cancer than men who had fewer than 14 servings per week. These foods also seem to kill cancer cells in test tube studies.
• Eat more fish. Some studies show men who regularly eat fish have a lower risk of prostate cancer than those who do not eat as much fish.
• DO NOT eat foods high in saturated fat. High-fat diets may raise your risk of prostate cancer.
• Stay at a healthy weight, and exercise regularly.
