There is a close relationship between age and prostate cancer. Due to this relationship, prostate cancer is increasing in aging societies.
Prostate cancer progresses slowly and has a long disease duration. Early diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer is very important.
At the same time, many studies are being carried out for its prevention. In these studies, strong evidence has been obtained that the occurrence of prostate cancer is related to diet and food.
- The best protector against prostate cancer determined so far is soybean consumption. There is almost a 40% difference between those on a low-soy diet and those on a high-soy diet. Consuming selenium daily may be effective in preventing prostate cancer. Selenium is one of the trace elements and is found in bread, grains, fish and meat.
- It has been revealed that vitamin E supplementation in smokers significantly reduces the risk of spreading fatal prostate cancer. Vitamin E supplementation does not change the risk of prostate cancer in the average population.
- Eating tomatoes, lentils and peas leads to a significant decrease in the risk of prostate cancer. Lycopene found in tomatoes is an antioxidant. Consumption of tomato paste, which is its main source, further reduces the risk of prostate cancer. There is not yet sufficient data to show that the produced drug causes the same effect.
- Prostate cancer is less common in those who benefit from more sunlight. Based on this, it can be said that vitamin D has a protective effect against prostate cancer.
