Diet and health care for prostate cancer

Prostate cancer is the result of abnormal and disordered growth of prostate acinar cells. Therefore, prostate cancer patients should appropriately supplement the following diet in their daily health care.

1. Green tea. Green tea contains a variety of antioxidants, the main active ingredients of which are tea polyphenols and catechin compounds. Antioxidant ingredients have a significant inhibitory effect on the malignant transformation of cells induced by a variety of carcinogens, including aflatoxin, benzopyrene, cigarette carcinogens, amino acid cleavage products, etc., and help stabilize cell structure and reduce cell damage, while changes in cell structure and cell damage can cause cell cancer.

2. Beans. Beans contain phytoestrogens, which are similar to female estrogen. The isoflavones contained in soybeans can reduce the destructive effects of male hormones and inhibit and kill cancer cells.

3. Foods rich in selenium. Selenium is an important antioxidant that can reduce the incidence of prostate cancer by 70%, so it can be consumed appropriately. Selenium in the diet is mainly found in animal liver, seafood, milk and dairy products, mushrooms, garlic and asparagus.

4. Pomegranate juice. Pomegranate juice is rich in antioxidants, the chemical that gives fruits and vegetables their darker color, and it can inhibit the development of damaged cells into prostate cancer. Drinking a glass of pomegranate juice every day can significantly slow the growth of malignant tumors in patients with prostate cancer. Consuming pomegranate juice for adjuvant therapy is not only effective, but also does not produce other adverse reactions.
