Diet for prostate cancer patients

Prostate cancer is a disease that threatens the life and health of men. The incidence rate has been very high in recent years, which has a great impact on the patients' lives and families. So how should prostate cancer be treated and what kind of dietary care is needed? Let's find out together!

1. In order to reduce the intake of fat in the diet, you should eat low-fat foods, low-fat dairy products, add less oil to food, and eat lean meat.

2. Eat more beans and vegetables: Westerners have never had the habit of eating soy products, but soy products that Asians like to eat are indeed 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.

3. The 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 congestion of the prostate. 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.

4. Calcium. Inhaling more than 2,000 mg of calcium per day can triple the risk of prostate disease. However, for bone health and prevention of osteoporosis, an appropriate amount of calcium is necessary every day. It is recommended to consume 1,000 to 1,200 mg of calcium per day.

5. Reduce the intake of fat and saturated fat.

Dietary taboos for prostate cancer include:

(1) Avoid smoking, drinking, coffee, etc.

(2) Avoid spicy foods, such as onions, garlic, ginger, cinnamon, pepper, chili, etc.

(3) Avoid moldy, fried, or greasy foods.

(4) Avoid aphrodisiac foods such as mutton, sandworms, dog meat, animal kidneys, whips, and antlers.

Warm reminder: Prostate cancer is a disease that should not be underestimated. I hope it can attract enough attention from everyone. Severe cases can lead to the loss of life. In addition to regular treatment, prostate cancer patients must carefully learn the above methods, eat a reasonable diet, and develop good living habits.
