The best diet to prevent prostate cancer

It is important for men to consume foods rich in these substances to help prevent this dangerous disease, according to Express .

Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer and the second most dangerous type of cancer for men.

Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer and the second most dangerous type of cancer for men.

Several factors increase the risk of developing the disease, as the UK's Prostate Cancer UK organization states, including calcium-rich foods, red meat, processed meats, and alcohol, which are linked to the condition.

And now new research has highlighted certain foods that may reduce this risk.

What did the study find?

According to two studies published in the international cancer journal Cancers , a "rainbow" diet with a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables is the best way to prevent prostate cancer, according to Express.

Similar to the Mediterranean diet, scientists have found that a diet rich in micronutrients not only reduces the risk of prostate cancer but also speeds up recovery in radiation-treated patients.

The articles also emphasize the importance of a Mediterranean diet or an Asian diet that includes these foods.

A "rainbow" diet with a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables is the best way to prevent prostate cancer.

Researchers analyzed micronutrient concentrations in blood samples from 116 patients with late-onset prostate cancer and 132 healthy control subjects.

The results showed that patients with prostate cancer had lower levels of lutein, lycopene, alpha-carotene, and selenium, and higher levels of iron, sulfur, and calcium compared to the control group.

Increased DNA damage from radiation exposure is also associated with lower levels of lycopene and selenium in the blood, increasing the risk of prostate cancer and sensitivity to radiation harm.

Where can we find abundant amounts of the nutrients we need to supplement?

Lycopene is found in red, pink, and orange fruits and vegetables, including peppers, tomatoes, melons, papayas, grapes, peaches, watermelons, and cranberries.

Foods rich in selenium include white meat, fish, shellfish, eggs, and nuts.

Co-author of the study from the University of South Australia, Dr. Permal Deo, recommends that it is best to eat foods that are naturally rich in lycopene and selenium.

He added: "Our recommendation is to adopt a Mediterranean diet with the help of a nutritionist."

UTTTL has previously been associated with ethnicity, family history, and age, but there has been little research on nutritional deficiencies linked to it.

Dr. Deo noted that diets high in dairy products and low in vitamin E—which is abundant in vegetable oils, nuts, fruits, and vegetables—may also increase the risk, but the evidence is inconclusive, according to Express.

This study is the first to assess the blood levels of micronutrients and trace elements in patients with prostate cancer.
