Prostate Cancer Prevention
To date, there is no single cause for prostate cancer, therefore, a preventive strategy has not yet been developed.
For this reason, prostate cancer education and awareness is always so vital for men and women, children, siblings, family members and friends of men facing prostate cancer.
Being well informed, aware of all prostate cancer risk factors and taking any necessary actions to maintain or improve health through diet and exercise are extremely important.
An annual screening for prostate cancer is highly recommended, as if detected early, the chances of removal increase.
Adopting a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and limiting consumption of saturated fat found in red meat and dairy products, can reduce your risk.
Studies show a strong connection between saturated fat consumption and increased rates of prostate cancer diagnosis and mortality.
Diets rich in nutrients such as vitamin E, selenium, soy, green tea and tomatoes appear to reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Studies are underway to confirm these findings, and more cancer-fighting nutrients are constantly being discovered and studied.
