What are the daily methods to prevent prostate cancer

In life, the incidence of prostate cancer is increasing year by year, and the population suffering from prostate cancer is also gradually expanding. At the same time, prostate cancer has become a nightmare for countless men. In life, many men are looking for ways to prevent prostate cancer, but many people follow the trend after seeing the severity of the disease, and have not found very effective prevention methods. So, what are the daily methods to prevent prostate cancer?

1. Eat a healthy diet

The occurrence of prostate cancer is closely related to changes in dietary structure. Medical research shows that a high-fat diet is a recognized risk factor, and the incidence of prostate cancer is higher in areas where drinking water contains high calcium. Therefore, you should eat more vegetables and fruits in your daily diet to reduce the occurrence of constipation and reduce the risk of prostate congestion.

It should also be noted that you should not drink too much water, so as to avoid holding urine and causing the full bladder to press on the prostate, causing congestion and obstruction.

1) Eat more cruciferous vegetables

Peas, broccoli and cauliflower are representative vegetables in the cruciferous vegetables. Studies have found that men who eat more cruciferous vegetables are less likely to develop prostate cancer.

2) Eat more bean products

Researchers pointed out that in Asia, where people eat more bean products, the incidence of prostate cancer and colorectal cancer is much lower than in Europe and the United States. Men whose daily diets often include bean products have a 26% lower risk of prostate cancer than men who do not often eat bean products.

3) Eat more tomatoes, carrots and watermelons

Tomatoes and watermelons contain a lot of lycopene, which has been reported to reduce the incidence of prostate cancer by 32%. A one-inch slice of watermelon contains as much lycopene as four tomatoes. Carrots contain a lot of beta-carotene, which helps your body absorb the lycopene in tomatoes.

4) Eat more fruits high in vitamin C, such as oranges.

Studies have found that a diet high in vitamin C can reduce the risk of prostate cancer by 23%.

5) Drink green tea every day

American scientists have recently discovered that green tea contains a highly effective bioactive substance called "tea polyphenols", which can not only prevent the proliferation of cancer cells, but also inhibit the growth of blood vessels next to cancer cells, which can greatly reduce the spread of prostate cancer. This research result was published in the December 2004 issue of the international authoritative biology journal "Cancer Research". In addition to discovering that green tea can inhibit the spread of prostate cancer, in recent years, relevant scientists at home and abroad have found through repeated studies that green tea has a certain preventive and therapeutic effect on various cancers.

6) Eat more fish

A 30-year follow-up survey conducted by Karolinska Institute in Sweden shows that people who eat fish regularly are less likely to develop prostate cancer. Researchers from the institute conducted a 30-year follow-up survey on 6,000 Swedish men from 1967 to 1997. The results showed that the risk of prostate cancer in people who never eat fish is two to three times greater than that of people who eat fish regularly. The researchers believe through preliminary analysis that a special substance in fish can prevent prostate cancer.

7) Supplement selenium appropriately

One chicken breast is enough to provide you with the selenium you need for a day. A data shows that men who supplemented their intake of adequate selenium for 41 consecutive years were 63% less likely to die from prostate cancer. Whole wheat tortillas contain selenium and a lot of fiber. Canadian researchers found that foods containing sufficient soluble fiber can reduce the level of pSA in the body.

2. Develop good living habits

Living a regular life, getting up and going to bed at regular times, and eating regular meals can protect the prostate. Drinking more water and urinating more often can help flush the urethra with urine to help discharge prostate secretions and prevent infection. Do not hold your urine too much, because holding your urine will increase the tension of the prostate capsule, which will aggravate prostate hyperplasia in the long run. Do not have too much mental stress, and maintain a positive and optimistic attitude towards life.

3. Quit smoking

Smoking is another important risk factor for prostate cancer. Medical staff should first set an example of not smoking and advise people to quit smoking to reduce the harm of tobacco to the human body.

4. Regular physical examination

Regular blood tests for prostate-specific antibodies are performed on men over 40 years old to detect prostate cancer at an early stage. The characteristics of prostate cancer in my country are long latency, hidden onset, and difficulty in distinguishing from diseases such as prostate hyperplasia. Most of the clinically confirmed cases have distant metastasis. Therefore, screening for early detection of prostate cancer is particularly important.

5. Strengthen sex education

The increased risk of prostate cancer is related to sexually transmitted diseases. Therefore, it is important to establish a healthy and positive sexual morality, moderate sex life, and have a stable sex life partner to ensure a happy marriage. Medical staff should actively promote and guide, and carry out sex education with a serious and scientific attitude, so as to improve people's ability to correctly understand sex, understand sexual hygiene, maintain a normal and healthy sex life, and prevent the occurrence of prostate cancer.
