There is a small gland in males that produces seminal fluid. This is called the prostate gland. When cancer affects prostate glands in man, then it is termed as prostate cancer. This cancer is most common in those persons who are above the age of 50. There are certain factors that would contribute to prostate cancer such as age, genetics, diet, lifestyle etc. It is noteworthy that foods that are rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds etc would reduce the chances of prostate cancer in men.<\/span><\/p>\n Various foods men must eat compulsorily to lower prostate cancer risk are<\/span><\/p>\n Tomatoes intake:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Lycopene is present in tomatoes and is associated with reduced risk of prostate cancer. Truth is that lycopene absorption would get enhanced by cooking tomatoes. Free radicals would be neutralised by lycopene and this could damage cells and result in prostate cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n Broccoli intake:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Sulforaphane present in broccoli would target cancerous cells and boost the body`s detoxifying enzymes. It is worth mentioning that regular intake of cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower etc would slow down prostate cell growth and lower inflammation.<\/span><\/p>\n Green tea intake:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n The presence of catechins in green tea plays a huge role here due to their cancer fighting properties. The progression of prostate cancer cells would get slowed down. Hence, it is good to drink green ea daily.<\/span><\/p>\n Pomegranate intake:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n The polyphenols present in pomegranate would show anti-cancer effects by slowing down the prostate tumour growth. Oxidative stress would get reduced. For the sake of prostate health, regular intake of this fruit is important.<\/span><\/p>\n Soy products intake:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n By consuming soy products, males would have reduced chances of getting prostate cancer in them. The isoflavones present in soy products play a significant part. It has been found out by research study that men who consume high amounts of soy products tend to have lower prostate cancer rates.<\/span><\/p>\n Brazil nuts intake:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n By consuming selenium rich Brazil nuts, men would have lower chances of getting prostate cancer in them. Our selenium requirement would be met by intake of one or two Brazil nuts daily.<\/span><\/p>\n Turmeric inintake:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Intake of turmeric having cucurmin( have anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties) would inhibit the growth of prostate cancer cells in us. It would be good to add turmeric to meals along with black pepper. By this, absorption of turmeric would be improved.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0Whole grains intake:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Plant lignans as well as fibres are present in whole grains. Consuming whole grains would block the growth of prostate tumours in us.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There is a small gland in males that produces seminal fluid.
