Why is prostate cancer called a rich man's disease? Two aspects to understand prostate cancer

The prostate is an important male reproductive organ. The cause of the disease is closely related to eating habits, so prostate cancer is called a rich man's disease. The following is an introduction to it in two aspects.

1. Frequent consumption of pickled and processed foods. Most processed and pickled foods contain additives and hormones. If consumed frequently, they will lead to a significant increase in male hormones in the body, making prostate cancer more likely to occur.

2. Frequent consumption of high-fat foods. Nowadays, people's living conditions are constantly improving, and fish and meat are more common on the table. However, patients need to pay attention that frequent consumption of high-fat foods will not only harm cardiovascular health, but also increase the incidence of prostate cancer, because high-fat foods contain a lot of saturated fatty acids, which will destroy the balance in the body.

Generally speaking, the high-risk group for prostate cancer is the middle-aged and elderly. For this group of people, they should develop a good lifestyle and eating habits, especially eating more light and easily digestible foods, and less high-fat or processed foods. In addition, patients should note that the symptoms of early prostate cancer are relatively hidden, so men should develop the good habit of regular physical examinations and seek timely treatment if any abnormalities occur.
