10 Diet Tips for Prostate Health 1. Eat Fruits and Vegetables. Fruits and vegetables contain high doses of cancer-fighting and inflammation-reducing substances like vitamins, polyphenols, antioxidants, minerals and natural fiber. Most men and women do not consume the recommended daily intake of fruits and vegetables. The best to eat include: Cruciferous Vegetables (includes broccoli, cauliflower, kale and cabbage) have phytochemicals that reduce Oxidative stress or oxygen free radicals in the body which means a lower risk of prostate cancer and its aggression Carrots and sweet potatoes contain a substance called falcarinol that reduces the risk of cancer Mushrooms help fight cancer by building the immune system with a supply of compounds called Beta Glucan and proteins called lectin which have shown to attack cancer cells Tomatoes are a rich source of lycopene which attacks free radicals helping the body lower the risk of prostate cancer and its aggression and recent research from the UK suggests eating tomatoes may lower risk of prostate cancer. Pomegranates, particularly its juice, has been shown to slow PSA doubling time and help prevent prostate cancer recurrence after primary treatment Grapes contain bioflavonoids which are powerful antioxidants that work as cancer preventatives Citrus (oranges, grapefruit, lemons) help sweep carcinogens out of the body by delivering a substance called monoterpene into the system Avocados are rich in glutathione, an antioxidant that attacks free radicals in the body Peppers and jalapenos contain a chemical, capsaicin, which neutralizes certain cancer causing substances Apples contain antioxidants that sweep free radicals out of the body and some studies have shown a dramatic impact on cancer risk reduction Berries (raspberries and blue berries) contain vitamins, compounds and antioxidants that may protect the body against cancer 2. Say No Animal Protein. Diets high in red meat, dairy products and animal fat have frequently been connected with the development of prostate cancer. Red meat is particularly tied to aggressive prostate cancer. 3. Chose Plant Protein. Plant-based protein like beans, flax and nuts contain quercetin and lignans that suppress the growth of many kinds of cancer including prostate cancer. 4. Drink Green Tea. Green tea contains antioxidants that decrease prostate cancer risk and have also demonstrated the ability to reduce the risk of prostate disorders. 5. Eat Foods Rich in Omega-3. Found in some fish, Omega 3 fats fight inflammation that weakens the body’s immune system. Omega 3 has been shown to decrease prostate cancer risk. 6. Eat Whole and Natural Foods. Foods high in fiber are known to lower levels of testosterone and lower PSA results. Lowering testosterone levels cuts off the food supply for prostate cancer growth. 7. Drink Water. Cutting down on surgery carbonated beverages and drinking water can speed metabolism and flush the body of cancer-causing substances. 8. Go Organic. Avoid foods with high levels of pesticide and BPA. Both substances can contribute to cancer risk and aggressiveness. Further, organic foods can have up to 25 percent more nutrients. 9. Eat Soy. Many Asian countries have the lowest prostate cancer death rates in the world. Diet plays a key role in this fact. A traditional Asian diet is low in fat and rich in soy (Tofu, Soy milk, Soy nuts). Soy contains substances that suppress the hormone-triggered growth of prostate cancer
