10 Foods That Fight Prostate Cancer

There is strong evidence that eating certain foods can significantly cut a man's risk of prostate cancer. Here's a list of

ten powerful prostate protectors:

Cruciferous Vegetables

Eating three or more servings of cruciferous vegetables like

cauliflower, broccoli, kale, mustard greens, and Brussels sprouts

per week may reduce the risk of prostate cancer by almost half.

Pomegranate Juice

Research shows that pomegranate juice slows the growth of

prostate cancer in mice.

Turmeric

Studies show that turmeric may prevent prostate cancer and slow

its progress, especially when eaten with cauliflower.

Flaxseeds

Studies in mice indicate that flaxseeds may prevent and slow the

spread of prostate cancer.

Green Tea

In several studies, green tea has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of developing prostate cancer.

Brazil Nuts

Brazil nuts are one of the best natural sources of selenium, a mineral that is strongly preventative against prostate

cancer. Experts say that taking an extra 200mcg of selenium per day will reduce the risk of prostate cancer by 50

percent. Just a handful of Brazil nuts per day will meet this requirement.

Garlic Garlic has been shown in several studies to cut the risk of prostate cancer by

as much as 53 percent. Garlic also contains a good amount of selenium.

Scallions

One study showed that eating just 1/10 an ounce of scallions per day cut men's risk

of prostate cancer by as much as 70 percent.

Tomatoes

Tomatoes are one of the best sources of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant which has

been shown in several studies to have a protective effect against prostate cancer. Though one recent study has

created some doubt about the protective effect lycopene has against prostate cancer, the National Prostate Cancer

Foundation says the earlier studies are still valid and continues to recommend that men eat plenty of foods

containing lycopene.
