One of the forms of cancer of most concern to men is prostate

cancer. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men,

after skin cancer, and is the third leading cause of cancer death

in men, after colorectal cancer and lung cancer. One in six men

will get prostate cancer in his lifetime and over 200,000 men

will be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year.

Research has shown that there are several natural ways to prevent

prostate cancer. One particular study reported by the UK Tea

Council outlined several ways that men can protect their prostate

health by making changes to their diets. Some of the most

important changes you can make to prevent prostate cancer include

the following:

* Lower your fat intake – Research has shown a reduced risk in

prostate cancer in men who have a low fat diet. It's

particularly important to lower your saturated fat and eliminate

trans fats from your diet. Saturated fat is found in red meats,

butter and high fat dairy products. Trans fats are artificial

fats and are actually more dangerous than any other, because the

body is unable to properly process it.

* Increase your intake of lycopene – Lycopene, a powerful

anti-oxidant found in tomatoes has been shown to be particularly

effective in preventing prostate cancer. Many doctors recommend

that you get your lycopene intake from tomato sauce, because it

is a more concentrated form of lycopene than a simple tomato.

* Add a vitamin E supplement – Vitamin E also has been shown to

have a cancer preventing effect in some men. A simple supplement

once a day may decrease your prostate risk.

* Add a selenium supplement – Another mineral supplement,

selenium, has also been shown to be a cancer preventative.

* Add a calcium and vitamin D supplement – Vitamin D has also

been shown to have a cancer preventing effect, but it requires an

adequate amount of calcium in order to work effectively. So, when

you add one supplement, add the other.

* Eat soy protein – Obtaining some of your dietary protein from

soy protein sources can lower your risk of prostate and other

cancers. Try soy milk and tofu in place of some meat to reduce

fat and increase soy protein. Soy protein has been shown to have

an effect even when prostate cancer has already been diagnosed.

It appears to slow or inhibit the growth of prostate cancer

cells.

* Drink green tea – Green tea has been shown in many studies to

prevent several forms of cancer, including prostate cancer. Green

tea is a powerful source of anti-oxidants, which can prevent free

radicals from damaging our cells, leading to cancer, aging and

other diseases. However, green tea has other benefits when it

comes to prostate cancer. Green tea has been shown to causes

apoptosis of prostate cancer cells. Apoptosis is the systematic

killing off of cells. It happens in many circumstances in the

body, ensuring that only healthy, vital cells survive. However,

rarely have we seen substances that can generate apoptosis in the

body for the purposes of killing off abnormal cell growth like

cancer cells, or abnormal cells that may grow into cancer.

Improving your diet and adding supplements is a simple way to

prevent to cancer and many other diseases. A diet rich in fruits

and vegetables is an important key to health. Fruits and

vegetables contain anti-oxidants, which are extremely important

to protecting health.

Anti-oxidants combat free radicals created in our bodies as a

by-product of converting food to energy. Free radicals damage our

cells and DNA, causing premature aging and disease unless they

are regularly neutralized by anti-oxidants. Fresh fruits and

vegetables are powerful sources of anti-oxidants as is green tea,

dark chocolate and red wine. So, by adding these products to your

regular diet, you can help ensure that you live a long and

healthy life, avoiding many types of disease like heart disease

and cancer.

To date, much of the research on preventing cancer naturally has

been performed on mice and in laboratory controlled studies. So,

it's clear that we need to perform more tests on humans in order

to truly determine the benefits of all these dietary changes and

supplements in the fight against prostate cancer. However, we do

know that all the changes mentioned here are generally healthy,

so we can feel good about making them even if they don't

significantly lower our cancer risk.

The rates of prostate cancer have started to decline over the

last 10 years. In addition, the mortality rate has declined.

Today, while one in six men will get prostate cancer in their

lifetime; only 1 in 34 will die from it. With emphasis on natural

preventative measures, perhaps we can eradicate this form of

cancer, eliminating one of the most common and significant male

health problems.
