Prostate Diet : Healthy Foods

* Processed and Cooked tomatoes. Studies have shown that men who eat 10 or more cooked tomatoes are 45% less likely to develop prostate cancer due to the carotene lycopene that is released when the tomatoes are cooked. Another source is also guava and pink grapefruit.
* Pumpkin, sunflower and sesame seeds are rich in zinc, essential fats (helping to reduce conversion of testosterone to DHT), magnesium (a muscle relaxant)
* Eat more oily fish, rich in omega 3, and use unrefined organic nut oils such as walnut, sesame, sunflower or olive oil.
* Include plenty of iron rich fiber in your diet, such as broccoli, kale, cauliflower, brussel sprouts which help balance your hormones levels naturally
* Eat fiber such as brown rice, quinoa, spelt, millet, oat, cereals, and rice bran as this fiber helps remove the excess hormones from your body
* Lentils, alfalfa, yellow peppers, organic carrots, kidney beans, soya beans, corn, rice
* Take 2 grams of vitamin C daily because seminal fluid which the prostrate produces requires vitamin C in large amounts.
* One of the oldest remedies is nettle tea with a little honey, or take 200-300mg of standardized extract 2-3 times a day.
* Saw Palmetto (herb) has been proven to be dramatically improve the symptoms of BPH. If taken as capsules take 150 - 350mg of standardized extract twice a day.
* Zinc is more abundant in the prostrate than in any other organ in the body. Zinc deficincy is common in those with prostrate problems. Take 20mg 2-3 times a day. As zinc depletes copper, take a proportionate amount of copper, approx 1mg, for every 15mg of zinc

Prostate Diet: Foods to Avoid

* Reduce your intake of animal fats, full fat milk and cheeses, hard margarines. Dairy foods, and too much non organic red meat or poultry (including processed meat pies) can contain high levels of chemical and hormone residues and therefore increase the risk of prostrate cancer.
* Filter your tap water. This is because hormone resides from the contraceptive pill and the HRT are found in most water supplies and they have an oestrrogen effect in the body. One of the best ways to overcome is, is by reverse osmosis deionised water, which can be plumbed in under your sink. See The PureH2O Company or it can be purchased at most health stores.
* Eat organic food as much as possible as pesticides and herbicides are now linked to prostate cancer.
