Men with a family history of prostate cancer also have a significantly increased incidence of prostate cancer.
Dietary factors: control the intake of total calories
The most preventive factor is the diet factor that induces prostate cancer. Excessive intake of fatty food will increase the incidence of prostate cancer, while soy protein diet will reduce its incidence rate. It is now considered that the proportion of fat in the total calories in the diet should be 10% - 20%.
The low incidence rate of prostate cancer in Asian countries is also related to the high intake of soy protein foods. Because this kind of food contains abundant phytoestrogens, its chemical structure is similar to that of estrogen in human body, and it has certain inhibitory effect on androgens. Of course, there are far more factors related to diet that induce prostate cancer. For example, catechin in green tea or vitamin e and selenium in fresh vegetables and fruits can inhibit the occurrence of prostate cancer.
The diet to prevent prostate cancer can be summarized into five points: first, the proportion of fat in the total calories of food is less than 20%; Second, 20-40g of bean products per day; Third, selenium is 200 micrograms per day; Fourth, vitamin e is 400-800 international units per day; Fifth, drink more green tea. The third and fourth items can also be replaced by eating more fresh vegetables and fruits.
Other: Please exercise moderately
Although a few studies believe that people who have undergone vasectomy have an increased risk of prostate cancer, most studies do not agree with this view. In addition, studies have shown that benign prostatic hyperplasia, obesity, lack of exercise, smoking, radiation or sexually transmitted viruses may increase the incidence rate of prostate cancer. Elderly men with related risk factors need to be vigilant, abstain from bad diet and living habits, and exercise moderately may be of significance to the prevention of prostate cancer.
