Recently, scientists found that eating more tomatoes can help men protect prostate, prevent prostate cancer and enhance their sexual ability. Studies have shown that men who eat tomatoes 5~ 10 times a week have a 50% reduction in the possibility of prostate cancer and a 25% increase in protection.

Health experts at the International Health Center in Zhang Yong, Hong Zhaoguang, said that tomatoes have the highest content of red pigment among vegetables and fruits. The highest content of tomato red pigment in human body is concentrated in testis, prostate and adrenal gland, which are closely related to androgen secretion, and the amount of androgen secretion directly affects men's sexual ability. According to the survey, in some Mediterranean countries, the reason why the incidence of prostate is very low is that most men's sexual ability remains above 60 years old, mainly because tomatoes are abundant in the local area and men like to eat them. But tomatoes must be cooked and cooked in oil, so that lycopene molecules can be used by the body.

1, increase plant food

Some compounds in plant foods can resist prostate cancer, such as natural compounds in Serumpalm and nettle. But it is particularly worth introducing lycopene. Lycopene exists not only in tomatoes, but also in apricots, grapefruit and red fruits and vegetables, which can protect the DNA in cells from oxidation. In addition, zeaxanthin and lutein in dark green vegetables such as corn and spinach also have this protective effect. There is also a kind of flavone called quercitrin, which can prevent the division of prostate cancer cells and is found in apples, onions, tea and red wine.

Therefore, although it can't be pointed out that a certain compound has an absolute role in preventing prostate cancer, there is nothing wrong with eating all these fruits and vegetables.

2. Reduce oil intake

Research reports all over the world unanimously point out that high animal fat in diet is an important risk factor for prostate cancer, and it is suggested to reduce fat intake. Eating less oil can also reduce arachnoid acid, which can cause prostate inflammation and increase the possibility of cancer.

Step 3 supplement nutrition

Nutrients that are particularly useful for protecting prostate include vitamins D and E, and trace element selenium. Cholesterol in the skin can be converted into vitamin D by direct sunlight. Vitamin D can inhibit the growth of prostate cancer. Egg yolk, butter, liver and fish oil are good sources of vitamin D. Vitamin E has been obtained from sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, rapeseed oil, safflower oil and corn oil. The coexistence of vitamin E and lycopene can reduce the incidence of prostate cancer. Most natural foods contain selenium, and meat is a better source. Vitamin E and selenium are antioxidants, which can protect cells near the prostate from damage.
