Prostate Cancer Prevention - 5 Essential Tips to Reduce Your Risk

Prostate cancer prevention services have despite increased

awareness, always struggled with the reluctance of men to talk

about their health and to seek help. However, there is much that

can be done and the following 5 tips can help to reduce your

risk.

1) Accept Prostate Screening

Prostate Screening has admittedly suffered from a muted response

in the UK, However, recent research published in the New England

Journal of Medicine which examined the potential impact of

Prostate specific antigen (PSA) screening programme has led to

calls from the Prostate Cancer Charity to establish a UK National

screening Committee. A major reason for this is sheer numbers -

prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men in

the UK - over 35,000 men are affected every year.

2) Ease off on the High Fat Foods

Research carried out by the Mayo Clinic in the US, has suggested

that a diet high in saturated fats - an example being the animal

fats found in red meat, may result in a higher possibility of

prostate cancer.

3) Hit the Fruit and Vegetables

A link has been found between those diets high in fruits and

vegetables and a lowering of various kinds of cancer.

4) Favour Fish

It is advisable to maintain a regular intake of omega-3 fatty

acids. This good fat, which can be found in certain cold water

fish such as salmon, herring and mackerel, seems to lower the

odds of getting a range of cancers.

5) Enjoy the Sunshine

Used sensibly, catching the sun can be of immense benefit.

Research into men living in the sunniest states in the US, found

a 32% lower prostate cancer risk. The explanation appears to lie

in Vitamin D, which we obtain from the sun. If worried about

possible side effects to your skin get your Vitamin D from Cod

Liver oil instead.
