A diet based on the consumption of natural natural foods is the best that can be given to the body. Research proves that certain specific nutrients support health in order to avoid changes in the body leading to prostatitis, prostatic hypertrophy and prostate cancer. What are these foods? 1. Of all the nuts, the one that gives Brazil its name turns out to be the richest in selenium. Just thirty grams of Brazil nut provides selenium in a dose ten times the Recommended Daily Intake. Selenium is one of the trace elements that have a strong antioxidant effect and, in addition to prostate cancer, strengthens the defenses against changes in other glands in the body. This seed actually comes and grows naturally in most of South America (Brazil, Venezuela, Peru and Bolivia). It is also rich in zinc, another valuable mineral for men’s health and specifically for the prostate and testicles. Brazil nut also provides valuable amino acids, magnesium and thiamin. Although it is rich in saturated fat (25%) and limited intake is recommended – for the purpose of prostate prevention, you can easily form the habit of consuming a handful of Brazil nuts per week. 2. For most men, vegetables are not a tempting food, but broccoli is one representative of the group of cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kale, which contain the largest amount of phytonutrients known for their anti-carcinogenic properties – sulforaphanes and indoles. Sulforaphane enhances the action of detoxifying enzymes in the body, which eliminates potentially dangerous elements leading to the development of tumor changes in the prostate. The phytonutrient indole-3-carbinol in broccoli suppresses the growth of prostate cancer cells and the formation of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a study published in the journal Cancer found. Eating broccoli more than once a week lowers the risk of prostate cancer progressing to more advanced stages three and four by 45%, a large study of prostate, colorectal and ovarian cancer therapies found. NEWS_MORE_BOX To preserve the valuable nutrients in broccoli, however, they should not undergo more than 5 minutes of heat processing, and the most suitable way to prepare them is by steaming or steaming. There is also another subtlety in cooking them, to prevent the destruction of the precious enzymes of the broccoli by the heat, they are broken into bunches and left to stand for five minutes. A little virgin olive oil and fresh garlic and chili pepper can be added to the already prepared dish. 3. Let’s talk! Hot red pepper is valuable to men because of the capsaicin it contains. The same is known for its pain-relieving effect. In addition, it supports the destruction of cancer cells, including those of the prostate. In research, it was discovered that capsaicin actually provokes the “suicide” of prostate cancer cells, that is, it affects the process of apoptosis in them.Without affecting healthy cells, this substance leads to the destruction of the “energy producer” of cells – the mitochondria. In addition to having anti-carcinogenic properties, capsaicin also helps cardiovascular health – it acts in blood vessels as an antioxidant that cleans them of free radicals that lead to atherosclerosis. There is also scientific evidence that capsaicin prevents ulcer development, unclogs stuffy noses and reduces the risk of diabetic complications. The sequel…
