How to reduce the incidence of prostate cancer in men

How to reduce the incidence of prostate cancer in men. The incidence of prostate cancer is very high. The known high-risk factors include age, race, genetics, diet, vasectomy, smoking, obesity, other prostate lesions, etc. About 30% of men over 50 years old suffer from prostate cancer, and the rate is as high as 50% for those over 80 years old.

Good eating habits are a key factor in reducing the incidence of prostate cancer. Excessive intake of fatty foods will increase the incidence of prostate cancer. The diet that reduces the incidence of prostate cancer can be summarized into five categories:

First, the proportion of fat in the total calories of daily food should be less than 20%.

Second, you should consume about 20-40 grams of soy products every day.

The third is to consume enough selenium (200 micrograms) every day.

Fourth, take in vitamin E (400-800 international units) every day.

Fifth, drink more green tea every day. (Items 3 and 4 can be replaced by eating more fresh vegetables and fruits).

In addition, benign prostatic hyperplasia, excessive obesity, lack of exercise, smoking, radiation or sexually transmitted viruses may also increase the incidence of prostate cancer. Middle-aged and elderly men with relevant risk factors need to be vigilant. For example, patients who have undergone vasectomy have a doubled chance of developing prostate cancer. Regular prostate examinations for middle-aged and elderly men can also reduce the incidence of prostate cancer. It is recommended that middle-aged and elderly men over 50 years old go to the hospital for examination every year, improve bad eating habits and living habits, and exercise moderately. This can effectively reduce the incidence of prostate cancer.

Through the above introduction, I believe that friends should have some understanding. Patients must maintain a good attitude, which is also an important factor. After the patient is diagnosed with a tumor, the patient must not give up on himself, be pessimistic and negative, and must not blindly seek medical treatment, which will increase the difficulty and malignancy of the tumor treatment.
