What are the dietary taboos for prostate cancer patients

Prostate cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in men. After being diagnosed, patients should not be pessimistic and cynical, but should actively cooperate with doctors for treatment with an optimistic attitude. In addition, what to eat and what not to eat during the treatment process will have a certain impact on the patient's recovery. The following are the dietary taboos for prostate cancer patients.

What to eat for prostate cancer

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 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.

3. 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 tea drinking 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.

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 per day is necessary. It is recommended to inhale 1,000 to 1,200 mg of calcium per day.

What foods should you avoid if you have prostate cancer?

1. Reduce the intake of fat and saturated fat.

2. Red meat is dangerous: The incidence of prostate disease is related to the male hormone, fat and cholesterol intake and lifestyle of men, among which the most critical factor is eating habits. In China, the probability of men suffering from prostate cancer is no more than 2 in 100,000; while in Germany, the incidence of prostate cancer is almost 25 times that of China. However, the advantages of Chinese immigrants to Germany are gradually lost.

From the above content, we can know that prostate cancer patients are suitable to eat fruits, vegetables, and some low-fat foods, avoid red meat, and reduce the intake of fat and saturated fatty acids. I hope that prostate cancer patients can adjust their diet structure according to the above content, and I wish everyone's disease can be controlled as soon as possible.
