Eating Habits that May Reduce Your Risk of Developing Prostate Cancer
If you're a male and you're starting to get a bit older, or you're a woman concerned about your husband, you're probably already aware that prostate cancer is a serious concern. The good news is that many cases of prostate cancer may actually be prevented through a healthy diet. Here are a few good food choices that will help keep prostate cancer at bay.
* Soy. Yup, the same foods that can help women reduce hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms can help keep men from developing prostate problems. Not only have studies shown soy to reduce the occurrence of prostate cancer, societies that have more soy in their diet actually have a lower occurrence rate.
* Vitamin E. This nutrient is essential to maintaining good health throughout your life. It is a powerful antioxidant, but is also used to make blood cells; a vital part of our system. Vitamin E has been shown to prevent not only prostate cancer, but colorectal cancer as well. You can get Vitamin E supplements or get it through your diet from sunflower oil, various nuts, bran, and whole wheat.
* Selenium. Some research findings show that selenium is only helpful for prostate health if you are already taking a multivitamin or a vitamin E supplement. That means if you take selenium, be sure to take these are well so you can get the maximum benefit. Selenium can also be more beneficial to smokers than nonsmokers.
* Beta Carotene. This is the nutrient found in carrots that is essential for good vision and healthy eyes. It actually has many health benefits, including cancer prevention in the prostate, head, neck, breast, stomach and lung cancer. It works by boosting the white blood cells in your blood that attack cancer and other diseases. Besides carrots, you can find beta carotene in squash, spinach, collards, sweet potatoes, and many other green leafy, yellow, or orange vegetables.
* Omega 3 fatty acids. These are the monounsaturated fats found in various types of fish, including; salmon, mackerel, sardines, herring, halibut, tune, and lake trout. You can also find these fats in soy, kidney, and navy beans. It is important to get three to four servings of this a week to prevent prostate cancer. If you can't eat this much, you can find supplements, but be sure to research them for safety. Ask your doctor before starting this or any supplement.
With a little searching and some work, you can help prevent the development of prostate cancer and live a longer happier life.
