Preventing prostate cancer starts with changing bad habits

Prostate cancer is a relatively serious male disease. When a man gets prostate cancer, it will not only affect the health of the prostate and reproductive function, but also the patient's life safety. So how can men prevent prostate cancer? In fact, it should start with changing bad habits.

Go to the hospital for screening. Experts recommend that men should go to the hospital for rectal examination and prostate antigen examination every year when they reach the age of 50. If you have a family history of prostate cancer, you should start these examinations at the age of 40.

Eat more soy foods. The death rate of Japanese men from prostate cancer is five times lower than that of American men. It is generally believed that this is because their diet is mostly low in fat and high in fiber. Soy foods are very common in Japanese food. Tofu, soybean flour, and soy milk are all foods that can effectively curb prostate cancer.

Third, eat more tomatoes. In a Harvard Medical School study of 470,000 men, researchers found that those who ate the most cooked tomato products had the lowest rates of prostate cancer. And by "most," I mean 10 servings a week. That sounds like a lot, but 1/2 cup of tomato sauce is one serving—and you probably put a lot more than that on your pasta.

Fourth, regular sex. Those who have multiple sexual intercourses in a short period of time have an acute prostatitis rate as high as 89.7%. On the contrary, restraining sexual desire will cause a large amount of prostate secretion to "stock up", which will lead to excessive expansion and congestion of the prostate over a long period of time, and can also cause inflammation. Ejaculation outside the body, interrupted sexual intercourse, etc. can also cause congestion and swelling of the prostate and cause inflammation.

Fifth, be careful with hormone supplements. There is a lot of hype about testosterone therapy increasing his appetite for life, especially sex, but it is rarely mentioned that high doses of testosterone are often associated with prostate enlargement and tumors. If he already suffers from prostate problems, stay away from these hormone supplements.

Sixth, do some exercise in the sun. Life stress can increase the chances of prostate disease and enlargement. When life stress is reduced, prostate symptoms will be relieved, so try to stay relaxed. Go outdoors with him to do some exercise. Moderate physical activity can help enhance the body's resistance and improve blood circulation in the prostate area.

Seventh, give him snacks. Zinc can increase the anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects of the prostate. You should intentionally consume more snacks rich in zinc, such as seafood, white melon seeds, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, etc. Antioxidants can protect the prostate. Men should have more nuts, fresh vegetables and fruits on their tables.

I believe that after listening to the experts' explanation on prostate cancer prevention, everyone already knows how to prevent prostate cancer. I hope everyone can pay attention to their lifestyle in daily life and not indulge themselves too much, especially in sexual life, and pay attention to safety and frequency, so as to avoid prostate cancer.
