Prostate disease has been troubling male friends around the world, especially prostatitis and prostate cancer, which are difficult to cure and easy to relapse.
According to a survey, the incidence rate of prostate cancer in European and American men is much higher than that in China and Japan because of different races. However, there is increasing evidence that the key reason is the difference in dietary structure between the East and the West. Eating less red meat and eating more beans and vegetables is the secret to staying away from prostate cancer. This is also a good warning for Chinese men who are increasingly fond of big fish and big meat.
Red meat is dangerous
Professor Altevin said that the incidence rate of prostate disease is related to the male's intake of androgen, fat and cholesterol and lifestyle, among which the most critical factor is eating habits. For example, in China, the probability of men suffering from prostate cancer does not exceed two in 100000; In Germany, the incidence of prostate cancer is almost 25 times that of China. However, the advantages of Chinese immigrants to Germany gradually lost.
The United States also conducted a survey on the incidence rate of prostate cancer among different ethnic groups. It was found that the incidence rate of prostate cancer among ethnic groups with low oil intake in their diet was relatively low, and the gap was as high as 20 times.
In the survey, the Japanese had the lowest incidence rate of prostate cancer. However, this advantage was gradually lost in the first generation of Japanese immigrants to the United States, while in the third generation, the incidence rate of prostate cancer was no different from that of Americans.
High fat foods in Western diets increase the risk of prostate cancer. In Germany, people cannot eat without meat for three meals a day: bread in the morning, minced pork pizza in the noon, and steak set meals in the evening. Red meat with a bloody smell is the most dangerous, while white meat that Asians often eat is lower in fat, such as fish, chicken, rabbit, and so on. Vitamin E contained in these meats can also reduce the incidence rate of prostate cancer. In addition, the spicy seasoning pepper, which is often consumed by Westerners, can also "help fire and generate heat", causing pelvic congestion and pressurizing the prostate.
Green tea should be drunk every day
Relevant research also shows that the habit of Asian people drinking green tea also plays a role in preventing and treating prostate diseases.
As the amount and time of drinking tea increase, the effect of green tea becomes more apparent. Western men generally drink alcohol before and after eating, which can easily cause prostate congestion. German experts suggest that you can drink some tea while eating like Asians, and even if you drink alcohol, you can only drink some red wine with a lower alcohol content.
Eat more beans and vegetables
Professor Altevin also said that Westerners have never had the habit of eating soy products, but the soy products that Asians like to eat do contain the scourge of prostate cancer. The isoflavones in soybean can reduce the destructive effects of male hormones and inhibit and kill cancer cells.
German medical experts have also proposed that Westerners eat too little vegetables and should eat as many vegetables as the Japanese and Chinese. In addition to Chinese cabbage, vegetables such as cauliflower and broccoli also have the effect of preventing prostate cancer. In addition, you can also eat some flaxseed and tomatoes every day. Tomatoes contain lycopene, which has a preventive effect on prostate cancer.
