Is there any relationship between the incidence of prostate cancer and coffee? Can drinking green tea every day prevent prostate cancer?

A Swedish study showed that coffee drinking was inversely associated with the risk of localized prostate cancer, and this inverse association was more pronounced in overweight and obese men.

The study followed 44,613 Swedish men aged 45 to 79 from January 1998 to December 2010 to obtain data on the prevalence of local (n=2368), advanced (n=918), and fatal (n=515) prostate cancer. The study evaluated the association between coffee drinking and the risk of local, advanced, and fatal prostate cancer, and evaluated the possible impact of body mass index (BMI) on the study results. The results showed that each additional cup of coffee drinking per day was associated with a 3% lower risk of local prostate cancer, and a non-significant association with a 2% lower risk of advanced and fatal prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer patients should pay attention to three elements in their diet

1. Eat more beans and vegetables

Westerners have never had the habit of eating soy products, but the soy products that Asians like to eat do contain the nemesis of prostate cancer. Isoflavones in soybeans can reduce the destructive effects of male hormones and inhibit and kill cancer cells. Westerners eat too few vegetables and should eat more vegetables like the Japanese and Chinese. In addition to Chinese cabbage, vegetables such as cauliflower and broccoli also have the effect of preventing and treating prostate cancer. In addition, you can also eat some flax seeds and tomatoes every day. Tomatoes contain lycopene, which has a preventive and therapeutic effect on prostate cancer.

2. Green tea should be drunk every day

Related research also shows that Asians' habit of drinking green tea also plays a role in preventing and treating prostate diseases. The effect of green tea becomes more obvious as the amount and time of drinking tea increase. Western men usually drink alcohol before and after meals, which can easily cause prostate congestion. German experts suggest that you can drink some tea with meals like Asians, and even if you drink alcohol, you can only drink some red wine with a low alcohol content.

3. The three meals should be comprehensive

At breakfast, drink a glass of tomato juice; at lunch, eat a bowl of salad or boiled vegetables containing carrots, cabbage or broccoli; at dinner, eat some beans, or eat brown rice instead; when you are hungry, eat some carrots and tomatoes at any time, which will not make you fat and is good for preventing and treating prostate cancer.

Five foods that can prevent prostate cancer

1. Tomato

Tomatoes contain a lot of beta-carotene, which helps your body absorb the lycopene in tomatoes and may reduce the risk of prostate cancer by 32%.

2. Oranges

Oranges contain tangerine, nobiletin and vitamin C. Studies have found that a diet high in vitamin C can reduce the risk of prostate cancer by 23%.

3. Soybeans

Human and animal research institutions have pointed out that soy isoflavones can slow the growth of prostate cancer cells, giving new hope to prostate cancer patients.

4. Watermelon

Like tomatoes, watermelon also contains a lot of lycopene. A one-inch slice of watermelon contains the same lycopene as four tomatoes.

5. Vanilla Ice Cream

In the hot summer, eating vanilla ice cream is a good choice to cure diseases and relieve cravings. This is because vanilla ice cream contains an element called boron. The more boron in the body, the lower the chance of prostate cancer.

In addition to preventing the disease through diet, you can also do more exercise, pay attention to daily hygiene, and avoid excessive sexual activity. Male friends can start from all aspects to prevent prostate cancer.
