American scientists recently found that green tea contains a highly effective bioactive substance "tea polyphenol", which can not only prevent the proliferation of cancer cells, but also inhibit the growth of blood vessels near cancer cells, and can greatly reduce the spread rate of prostate cancer. This research result was published in the international authoritative biological journal Cancer Research in December 2004.

6. Eat more fish
A 30-year follow-up survey conducted by Karolinska Medical College in Sweden showed that people who often eat fish are not prone to prostate cancer. Researchers from the medical school conducted a 30-year follow-up survey of 6000 men in Sweden from 1967 to 1997. The results showed that the risk of prostate cancer of people who never eat fish was two to three times higher than that of people who often eat fish. After preliminary analysis, researchers believe that a special substance contained in fish has the effect of preventing prostate cancer.
