How To Prevent Prostate Cancer?
Research on prostate cancer prevention has not resulted in many conclusive nutritional guidelines.
Recommendations and suggestions on preventing prostate cancer can change as further research is done. (For example, the SELECT study showed that selenium and vitamin E supplements did not prevent prostate cancer).
Possible ways to prevent prostate cancer:- Eat foods high in omega-3 fatty acids such as salmon.
- Eat fruits and vegetables, including lycopene in red foods such as tomatoes.
- Eat soy which contains phytoestrogens.
- Drink green tea (Camellia sinensis) which contains antioxidants such as polyphenols.
- Drink alcohol in moderation.
- Exercise.
- Avoid being overweight and eating animal fat.
- Avoid ingesting endocrine disruptor chemicals such as plasticizers.
- And don't smoke (even if it does not prevent prostate cancer)!
