There are some foods that are not only beneficial to the health of the general population, but also serve as guardians of prostate protection for men. Men often eat this type of food and are less likely to suffer from common male diseases such as prostate hyperplasia and prostatitis. At the same time, they also have a significant preventive effect on prostate cancer.
These foods are garlic, onion, leek, scallion, dry onion and other onion vegetables, as well as cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage and other cruciferous foods. In addition, foods such as tomatoes and bear fruit are also good prostate protective foods. Due to the rich content of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory and bactericidal active ingredients in these foods, they can help the prostate avoid inflammation and the occurrence of tumors. At the same time, it can also delay the speed of prostate hyperplasia, protect bladder function, and alleviate symptoms such as prostatitis and difficulty urinating caused by prostate enlargement.
According to the latest book "Prostate Protection Foods" by British nutritionists and medical experts, men should eat at least 3 cloves of garlic or at least 3 times a week, including onions, scallions, dried scallions, leeks, etc. Broccoli, cabbage and other cruciferous foods are best eaten raw or cooked slightly, and need not be overcooked. Additionally, it is recommended that men eat at least one large tomato every day. Lycopene in tomato is one of the strongest antioxidants found in nature.
Some people exclaim, why are prostate diseases increasing? This is related to both the social environment and the dietary environment. When it comes to the dining environment, let's mention pumpkin seeds here. Pumpkin is a very common food in our country. Pumpkin is produced in both the east, west, south, and north, but with different names. Think back to the time when every family was not wealthy. Every time they ate pumpkins, everyone carefully took out the pumpkin seeds to dry and stir fry, and used them as snacks. Nowadays, life is getting better, there are more snacks, pumpkin seeds are basically not eaten, and the number of men suffering from prostate hyperplasia is also increasing. In fact, pumpkin seeds are also a very good prostate protection food. They not only contain a large amount of beneficial zinc elements for the prostate, but also contain an effective ingredient called "pumpkin seed element", which can help improve difficulty urinating and also shrink the enlarged prostate.
