subject: Some Tidbits Guaranteed To Make You Smarter About Natural Prostate Cancer Fighters [print this page] If a family history has you wondering what you can do to avoid prostate or any type of cancer here's the thing. While some would suggest early detection and immediate treatment you're really better off with prevention. So how do you prevent prostate cancer? Here are some healthy and smart ideas that are inexpensive as well as edible. You might also call them "The Natural Cancer Fighters."
One of the big risk factors of prostate cancer is obesity. Some studies suggest that it delays detection in part because men who are overweight have a lower PSA level compared to average sized men. So even if they already are heading towards prostate cancer the tests may not indicate that.
How can I prevent prostate cancer?
Specially nothing. But it helps if you gradually change your lifestyle. If you're a smoker, quit before it's too late. At the very least you don't want to end up with lung cancer. It's also a good idea to start working out or hitting the treadmill. Or if you prefer you can walk around your neighborhood. Last but not the least; you want to include plenty of fruits and vegetables in your diet. In fact this is how you'll get the natural cancer fighters.
What are these natural cancer fighters again?
These are fruits and vegetables rich in cancer fighting ingredients. Some cite five of them as being particularly helpful. Let's quickly look at each of them:
Soy: This has been studied for ability to impact prostate cancer for more than 10 years. One study shows that men who don't eat tofu or only eat it once a week have a higher risk of prostate cancer than men who eat tofu three to four times a week. Tofu is made from soy beans. So whether you eat tofu, other soy products or drink soy milk you're likely improving the odds of avoiding prostate cancer one way or another.
Onions: This is one misunderstood vegetable. People would avoid this because of its tear-jerky aroma and it lingers in your mouth even after you brush. But onions and garlic may play a role in reducing the risk of prostate cancer as well as lowering cholesterol.
Broccoli: Who would've thought that one of the most detested vegetables could actually reduce the risk of prostate cancer? These green vegetables as well as the cruciferous kind have lots of cancer fighting nutrients that prevent colorectal cancer.
Tomatoes: The story here is lycopene which is believed to reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Lycopene itself is an antioxidant which fights free radicals in the body. Although present in raw tomatoes, it's much potent when cooked.
Blueberries: These tiny fruits may seem small but they're full of antioxidants which repair damaged cells as a result of aging. So by slowing down the aging process of cells, cancer and other diseases can be avoided.
These cancer fighting ideas might not seem as appealing as popping a pill. But it's worth a try if it will save your life. And there's nothing really radical here. It's your choice if you'd prefer cure or prevention.
