Breast cancer is to women, what prostate cancer is to men.
And unfortunately, the rates of prostate cancer are going up.

Well, you’re in luck, according to researchers there are some
ordinary foods and non-food things that’ll help you
lower your risk of ever being diagnosed with prostate cancer,
and those things are…

a) Coleslaw-
Yes, the Summer staple and side dish to fried chicken can
help you lower your risk of developing prostate cancer
by a whopping 40%.
Give credit to compounds in it, compounds that prevent
cancer cells from growing.
And some more great news concerning cabbage:
eat it 2 to 4 times a week, increases longevity
by a few years. Eat it raw, stir-fry (it quickly) or
steam it, avoid boiling it in water for 20 to 30 minutes.

b) Flax-
You may only be aware of sunflower seeds, but if prostate
cancer is a concern-then you must start eating more flaxseeds.
Add flaxseeds to smoothies, oatmeal or veggie stir-fries.
Another plus: flaxseeds also help lower your risk of getting colon cancer.

c) Fish-
Another reason to add more fish to your daily menus:
it lowers your odds of getting prostate cancer by 65%.
Fatty fish like trout, salmon, halibut, tuna, sardines and mackerel,
is loaded with omega-3 fatty acids that prevent against prostate cancer.
Fatty fish also contains ample amounts of selenium and vitamins,
which help prevent the oxidation of cells in the progression
of cancer.
Eat fish at least 2 times a week. And cook it by either poaching it
(in broth), baking or broiling it. Avoid frying it with loads of oil,
doing so on a regular basis-raises your risk of stroke.

d) Onions-
If you’re a fan of onions on burgers, in sauces, stews or on sandwiches-
continue to indulge and lower your odds of getting prostate cancer
by 25%. Onions contain compounds that neutralize the impact of
environmental toxins, especially toxins that cause the prostate to enlarge.
And more good news: Raw onions seem to work best at ridding the body of
toxins, but if you’re not a fan- chop them up finely and eat them this way.
Garlic, scallions, chives, leeks, and green onions are all in the same family,
so enjoy them all.

e) Another Cup-
Of coffee please. If you’re already drinking it, continue to do so.
Coffee contains chlorogenic acid, a compound that prods abnormal
prostate cells to behave normally.
Important tip: Yes, drinking coffee is good for men, but just remember
to avoid the extras with your coffee, the sugar, heavy creams, danishes
and other sweet treats.

f) Pomegranate Juice-
The tasty red elixir helps men lower their odds of prostate cancer
by 27%.

g) Non-Food Benefits-
Now, that you’re aware of some of the things you should add to
this week’s grocery list, here are some things that are totally free…
* Getting Outdoors-
Specifically basking in the Sun. Spend between 20 to 30 mins.
outdoors (without sunscreen) and lower cancer risks by 33%.
The sun contains “natural Vitamin-D-3, a vitamin so powerful
it causes cancer cells to self-destruct.
Unable to get outdoors and sit in the Sunshine?
Ask your doctor about taking vitamin D-3, (2,000 to 3,000 I.U.
per day).
* Sleep More-
Pride yourself on sleeping less than 6 to 8 hours each night?
Well, you’re only increasing your odds of getting prostate cancer,
stroke, heart disease, depression, diabetes and weight gain (obesity).
Sleep is peak time for your body to release the hormone known as
melatonin, which helps your immune system destroy cancer cells.
Have trouble falling and staying asleep?
Don’t spend tons of money on sleep aids, just head to youtube and
type natural sleep remedies, sleep meditation videos, and exercises
to help you fall asleep, in the search bar.
Something natural is always better and less expensive.
* Exercise-
Another reason to walk, dance, or work in your garden, means
you’ll also lower your risk of getting prostate cancer by 40%.
Exercise burns blood sugar, which is the fuel that powers the
spread of prostate cancer.
