Eating pumpkin seeds regularly can prevent prostate cancer

Eating pumpkin seeds regularly can prevent prostate cancer, because the normal secretion of hormones by prostate cancer requires the help of fatty acids, and pumpkin seeds are rich in fatty acids, which can maintain the good function of the prostate. According to statistics, about 2% of prostate hyperplasia may deteriorate into prostate cancer. Eating a handful of pumpkin seeds every day can help improve the symptoms of prostate hyperplasia and prevent prostate cancer.

Pumpkin seeds, also known as nest melon seeds, are made from harvesting mature pumpkin fruits, taking the seeds and drying them. They have a fragrant aroma, are mild in nature, and slightly sweet in taste. They are rich in cucurbitacin, fatty oil, protein, and vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin C, and also contain carotene.

Because of its high fatty acid content, and the prostate gland relies on fatty acids to secrete hormones, eating about 50 grams of pumpkin seeds (raw or cooked) every day can keep the prostate gland in good function and effectively prevent and treat prostate cancer. This is not groundless. American researchers have published a scientific research paper that also pointed out that "consistently eating a handful of pumpkin seeds every day can treat prostate hypertrophy, and restore the symptoms of the second stage to the initial stage, and significantly improve the third stage of the disease, because the active ingredients in pumpkin seeds can eliminate the initial swelling of the prostate, and also have the effect of preventing prostate cancer.

It is recommended that people at high risk of prostate cancer take 50g of pumpkin seeds, peel them and chew them in 3 times, with an interval of 4 hours between each time. In addition, sunflower seeds, rapeseed oil and corn oil are also rich in fatty acids.
