What diet can prevent prostate cancer

Everyone should have a certain understanding of the harmfulness of cancer, and prostate cancer is a type of cancer. Every year, some people lose their most precious lives due to prostate cancer. So if a person wants to prevent the occurrence of prostate cancer, how should he eat?

What diet should you take to prevent prostate cancer?

1. Vitamins in the diet

Studies have shown that the concentration of vitamin A in normal prostate is 5 to 7 times higher than that in prostate cancer tissue, indicating that vitamin A plays an important role in preventing the occurrence of prostate tumors. In addition, studies have shown that adequate intake of vitamin D can greatly reduce the risk of prostate tumors. Vitamin C and E, as important antioxidants in the body, can inhibit the growth and differentiation of prostate tumors. Therefore, middle-aged and elderly men should eat more foods rich in the above vitamins.

2. Dietary fat

There is a significant difference in the dietary structure between people in areas with a high incidence of prostate cancer and those in areas with a low incidence of prostate cancer. The Chinese food in areas with a low incidence of prostate cancer contains less fat and more grains, vegetables, and soy products, while the opposite is true in areas with a high incidence of prostate cancer. This phenomenon suggests that fat in food is one of the possible causes of prostate cancer. Fat in food mainly comes from meat such as beef and pork and vegetable oils.

3. Calories in the diet

A high-calorie diet is a stimulating factor for the occurrence of prostate tumors. High calories can accelerate cell mitosis, accelerate cell proliferation, and lead to tumor formation. The incidence of prostate tumors in people with a high-calorie diet is 70% higher than the incidence of prostate cancer in people with a low-calorie diet.

4. Others in the diet

Studies have shown that men who often eat soy foods have a lower risk of prostate cancer than men who do not often eat soy foods. An obvious example is that in Asia, where people eat more soy foods, the incidence of prostate cancer is much lower than in Europe and the United States. The phytoestrogens contained in soy foods can reduce the risk of tumors caused by male hormones.

Some people, after learning that they have prostate cancer, only rely on nursing methods and do not go to the hospital for treatment, which causes them to suffer from prostate cancer for a long time and cause long-term serious damage to their bodies. Therefore, every prostate cancer patient should rely on diet to help himself.
