What should patients with prostate cancer eat healthily

Diet therapy plays a big role in many major diseases and can also prevent some diseases. Prostate cancer is a terrible malignant tumor that threatens the health of men at any time. Under the premise of traditional treatment, combined with appropriate diet therapy, it plays a big role in the recovery of the disease. Let's take a look at what prostate cancer patients should eat to be healthy.

1. Beans

Health impact: Surveys show that men who often eat soy products have a lower risk of prostate cancer than men who do not often eat soy products. After being digested and absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract, soy products will produce a phytoestrogen mixture called "equol", which can effectively inhibit the androgen dihydrotestosterone and protect the prostate.

Fresh bean sprout juice: Take 500 grams of fresh mung bean sprouts, wash them, squeeze them with clean gauze to extract the juice, add appropriate amount of sugar, and drink it instead of tea. Chinese medicine believes that this method has the effect of clearing heat and guiding redness.

Mung bean and psyllium soup: Take 60g of mung beans and 30g of psyllium seeds, and wrap the psyllium seeds with gauze. Wash the mung beans, put them in a pot, add water and boil. Then, cook over low heat until the beans are rotten, remove the psyllium seeds, and drink. This method can also clear away heat and promote diuresis. Soybeans, soybeans, peanuts and other foods all contain "phytoestrogens" that are beneficial to prostate health.

2. Onion

Health impact: Onions contain a compound called "quercetin", which is one of the most effective natural anti-cancer substances known so far. Experiments have shown that it can prevent mutations in cell biochemical mechanisms. Onions also contain the trace element selenium, which is a strong antioxidant that can help eliminate free radicals in the body and enhance cell metabolism.

Eating suggestions: Chinese medicine believes that eating too much onion can easily cause fever symptoms. The intake of onions should not exceed 50 grams each time. Cut off the roots, peel off the old skin, wash off the mud and sand, and eat it raw or cooked. The compound "quercetin" can be found in apples, tea and red wine.

3. Tomato

Health impact: As early as 1995, researchers at Harvard University in the United States noticed that tomatoes contain a substance called lycopene, which has unique antioxidant effects, helps to eliminate free radicals in the body, and its inhibitory effect on harmful free radicals is 10 times that of vitamin E, which can reduce the risk of prostate cancer in men.

Eating suggestions: Eating 50-100 grams of fresh tomatoes every day can meet the needs of the human body for multiple vitamins and trace elements. The antioxidant effect of tomatoes is better after heating. Although the cooking process will cause the vitamin C content to decrease, the content of lycopene and other antioxidants will increase significantly.

Warm reminder: Beans, onions, tomatoes are very beneficial to prostate patients. Therefore, under the premise of cooperating with the doctor's treatment, patients should eat more of these foods in their daily life, which will have a very good effect on the recovery of the body. Maintain a healthy and positive attitude and insist on physical exercise, and the body will gradually recover.
