Eating more tomatoes can prevent prostate cancer

A survey conducted by the University of Oxford in the UK examined the eating and living habits of 20,000 men and found that those who like to eat tomatoes have a lower incidence of prostate cancer. This study took factors such as smoking into consideration.

A new study shows that men who eat tomatoes can reduce their risk and chance of developing prostate cancer.

Researchers from the University of Bristol, the University of Oxford and other institutions in the UK investigated the diet and lifestyle habits of nearly 20,000 British men. The results showed that taking into account factors such as smoking and exercise habits, eating more tomatoes has the most significant anti-cancer effect. Taking tomatoes or tomato juice more than 10 times a week, at least 80 grams each time, can reduce the risk of prostate cancer by about 18%. If you follow the health advice of the British health department, that is, consuming no less than 5 kinds of fruits and vegetables a day, each of which is no less than 80 grams, the risk of prostate cancer can also be reduced by about 24%.

Researchers believe that this may be due to the large amount of antioxidant "lycopene" in tomatoes. This substance can fight toxins in the human body and protect cells from damage. Despite this discovery, more research is needed. Eating more tomatoes can help prevent prostate cancer, but in addition to tomatoes, you should also consume a variety of fruits and vegetables, exercise properly, and maintain your weight, all of which can help prevent prostate cancer.
