Foods and Prostate Cancer
April 24, 2009 |
Reducing your risk of prostate cancer could be as simple as watching what you eat
everyday.
“In discussing prevention, we certainly have to mention a few things. It’s been
found that tomatoes may prevent prostate cancer. Now, there’s conflicting data,
but most people in the field do
seem to confer that tomatoes decrease the risk,”
says Dr. Barry Blitz, a urologist on the medical staff of Lee Memorial Health System.
“Green tea to some extent. Broccoli, that’s good
for a lot of things too, in addition,
soy products may have a protective benefit as well.” A little seafood could also do the trick or a daily dose of Omega-3. “It seems to be protective from a variety
of cancers, including prostate cancer,” adds Dr. Blitz.
Just a few simple items on your dinner table, that could make the difference in
the longevity of your life. It’s always important to consult your doctor
when it
comes to dietary changes, concerns, or questions.
