There are many positive measures that you can take to maintain excellent prostate health. Here are 4 practical tips to implement in your daily life.
1) Lose your Belly Fat
Aim to keep your waistline trim. Fat in the body results in a lowering of Prostate Specific Antigen ( PSA) that circulates in the blood stream. When your Doctor checks your PSA levels to determine if you do have prostate cancer – an excess of weight may result in a skewing of test results.
2) Enjoy the sunshine!
Contrary to what you may have heard the sun isn`t all bad. In the US research carried out on men living within the sunniest states found a 32% lower risk rate of prostate cancer. This is believed to be as a result of Vitamin D, which we can get from the sun. However, if you are worried about damage to skin from the sun, you can get your Vitamin D requirements from Cod Liver Oil instead.
3) Follow Popeye`s example – eat spinach!
One study established that men could halve their risk of prostate cancer by establishing a high intake of folate. this is a nutrient that can be found in spinach. Aim for a daily quota of 400 micrograms ( MCG). As a guide a 180g serving of cooked spinach will provide approximately 100 mcg
4) Think Red!
A study review published in the Journal of Nutrition established that eating between two to four servings of raw tomatoes reduced men’s risk of prostate cancer. by 26%. Alternatively, you could opt for a glass of tomato juice which contains similar cancer busting properties.
