Mediterranean diet the best prevention against prostate cancer

06 Nov 2023 by Ted Escobedo   1 min read

Men who consume colorful fruits and vegetables on a regular basis are less likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer, according to new research by University of South Australia scientists.
A rainbow of foods rich in certain micronutrients helps to prevent prostate cancer as well as speed up recovery among men who undergo radiation treatment for the disease.
The findings, from two studies published in the journal Cancers, highlight the importance of a Mediterranean or Asian diet that includes foods that are rich in lycopene such as tomatoes, melons, papayas, grapes, peaches, watermelons, and cranberries. Selenium-rich foods include white meat, fish, shellfish, eggs, and nuts.
