What kind of inflammation does our body have? Sometimes we can also treat it with food. Dietary therapy can also protect our body and prevent diseases. For example, the three kinds of vegetables introduced below are holy products for men that can prevent cancer as well as enhance their masculinity. Male friends can eat more vegetables.
Most men scoff at "feminine" foods such as vegetables and fruits, and prefer to call themselves carnivores. However, according to the latest report, eating a small amount of broccoli every week can help prevent prostate cancer. In addition, there are some common vegetables that also have aphrodisiac effects, and even can prevent cancer.
Three vegetables for men to prevent cancer and boost their health:
1、 Broccoli
The subjects of this study were divided into two groups, and ate four portions of broccoli or peas each week. The results showed that a group of patients who ate broccoli had "anti-cancer genes" in their body, which could protect men from prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer is the second leading male cancer killer with only lung cancer. Every year, 680000 people suffer from prostate cancer and 220000 people die. In addition to broccoli, cauliflower and purple cabbage, which belong to the same family of cruciferae, have good anti-cancer effect, and men should also eat more.
2、 Tomato
"It is worth mentioning that tomato is also a good vegetable and fruit that men should not miss." Experts said that it not only contains rich vitamin C, but also contains lycopene, which can "dredge" the gland and prevent prostate disease.
3、 Spinach
In addition, men should also learn from "Popeye" and eat more spinach. Spinach contains trace element magnesium, which can convert carbohydrates in muscle into usable energy, and achieve the effect of increasing male muscle strength. Of course, for men, spinach has the more obvious advantage that folic acid and iron can promote the synthesis of red blood cells, improve blood oxygen carrying capacity, accelerate blood circulation, and fundamentally improve the quality of men's sexual life.
Five principles of healthy eating for men:
1. Eat a certain amount of chromium
Chromium helps to promote the metabolism of cholesterol and enhance the endurance of the body. In addition, it can also promote the production of muscle and avoid excess fat under certain physical conditions. Middle-aged men need at least 50 micrograms of chromium a day, while those with high activity need 100-200 micrograms of chromium a day. Such a dose of chromium is difficult to obtain from food, so it is recommended that men take pharmaceutical preparations containing chromium (such as vitamins and minerals) or drink beer.
2. Eat food rich in plant fiber
The main function of plant fiber is to accelerate intestinal peristalsis, reduce cholesterol and some bile salts, reduce glucose and fatty acids in the blood, and have the effect of reducing blood pressure. In addition, it can eliminate some carcinogens and avoid rectal cancer. People who eat food rich in plant fiber will feel full without worrying about the accumulation of excess calories, so it also has the effect of weight loss. It is recommended that men eat 18-20 grams of plant fiber every time they eat. The main foods rich in plant fiber include wheat bran, whole-wheat bread, cabbage, potato, carrot, apple, lettuce, cauliflower, celery, etc.
3. Eating foods containing magnesium
Magnesium can regulate human heart activity, reduce blood pressure, prevent heart disease, and improve male fertility. It is suggested that men should have 2 bowls of oatmeal Congee with milk and 1 banana for breakfast. Foods with more magnesium include soybeans, baked potatoes, walnuts, oatmeal Congee, macaroni, leafy vegetables and seafood.
4. Eating foods containing vitamin A
Vitamin A helps to improve human immunity, prevent cancer and protect human vision. An adult man needs to take 1000 micrograms of vitamin A every day, but excessive consumption is harmful to his health. Foods with more vitamin A include liver, dairy products, fish, tomatoes, carrots, apricots and cantaloupes.
5. Eating foods containing vitamin B6
Vitamin B6 helps to improve human immunity. Vitamin B6 can prevent skin cancer, bladder cancer and kidney stones. Men need 2 mg of vitamin B6 a day, which is equivalent to the content of 2 large bananas. Foods with more vitamin B6 include chicken, liver, potatoes, sunflower seeds, avocados, bananas, etc.
