Post Date December, 03 2023
Modern men are busy at work and often neglect the protection of the prostate gland. Especially sedentary people are more likely to have adverse effects on the prostate gland. Therefore, in addition to changing some bad habits, you can protect the prostate through diet. So, what foods can protect the prostate gland in daily life?
1. Apple: In patients with prostatitis, the zinc content in prostate fluid and seminal plasma decreases in most people. When zinc content decreases, the antibacterial ability of the prostate decreases. Apples contain high levels of zinc, and chronic prostatitis patients often eat some apples, which is a fairly effective dietary therapy.
2. Fish: A fatty acid called omega-3 found in fish is very effective in inhibiting prostate cancer, such as salmon, herring, and mackerel, which are rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
3. Garlic: Eating garlic and sesame rich in selenium can reduce the incidence rate of prostate cancer. Selenium is an important component of antioxidants in red blood cells, which can enhance the body's anti cancer ability and enhance its immunity.
4. Pumpkin seeds, walnut kernels: Traditional Chinese medicine has always been very particular about dietary supplements, and protecting the prostate is no exception. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney stores essence, which is related to reproduction, as well as bladder and urination. Therefore, it is very beneficial for the prostate to eat products that tonify the kidney.
Pumpkin seeds and walnut kernels are not only good for tonifying the kidney, they also have diuretic functions, and walnut kernels have a moisturizing effect. Therefore, when men reach old age, they should eat more pumpkin seeds and walnut kernels to supplement the deficiency of kidney qi.
5. Tomatoes: They have the effect of preventing and treating prostate cancer. Research has found that eating tomato sauce pasta daily for five weeks can reduce the level of a protein associated with prostate cancer growth by one fifth. Lycopene plays a key role. Therefore, it is best for men to eat some tomatoes every day.
