Prostate cancer is a very common cancer. According to a survey, today's prostate cancer has become the second largest cancer killer. Prostate cancer has brought panic to many patients, who do not know what to do. Indeed, cancer is a very difficult disease to cure, but do we have any methods to prevent it in our daily lives?
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, and has become the "second killer" of male cancers after lung cancer. Early symptoms similar to benign prostatic hyperplasia are difficult to alert people; "Pelvic and spinal metastases occur earlier, resulting in lower back pain, which can easily be mistaken for low back and leg pain. They are often found in advanced stages and have a dangerous prognosis.". The prevention of prostate cancer has been a blank in the past, and some new progress has been made in recent years.
1、 Vitamin E supplementation
Researchers have found that people who take 50 milligrams of vitamin E daily for 5 to 8 years have 32% fewer symptoms of prostate cancer than those who do not take vitamin E, and the mortality rate of prostate cancer in those who take vitamin E is also 41% lower than in the control group. It is speculated that vitamin E is a lipid soluble antioxidant that can capture excessive "killer" oxygen free radicals in the body, alleviate damage to prostate cell membranes and genes, and thus can inhibit or delay the occurrence of prostate cancer. Experts point out that middle-aged and elderly men should generally eat foods rich in vitamin E, such as nuts (sunflower seeds, walnuts, pine nuts, pumpkin seeds, hazelnuts, etc.), wheat germ powder, Nostoc flagelliforme, tofu skin, olive oil, soybean oil, corn oil, rice bran oil, sesame oil, purslane, etc. If necessary, take vitamin E capsules of 50 or 100 milligrams per day.
2、 Supplement trace element selenium
Recently, researchers used the method of nail clipping to measure selenium intake levels in more than 34000 men aged 40 to 75 years, and found that those with high selenium intake had a significantly reduced risk of prostate cancer compared to those with low selenium intake. We know that selenium can protect the body from excessive oxygen free radicals through glutathione peroxidase; The biofilms and cells of human tissues are vulnerable to oxidative fatty acids during selenium deficiency. Recent studies have shown that selenium deficiency is closely related to the occurrence of cancer. Therefore, middle-aged and elderly men should generally pay attention to eating more selenium rich foods, such as roasted bran, oil gluten, etc. If necessary, they can supplement selenium kana gum or selenium Jinkang, which may have certain effects on preventing prostate cancer.
Selenium and vitamin E can prevent prostate cancer, and although no final conclusion can be reached, they have reached a new and promising high point.
3、 Eat less meat dairy products
Researchers conducted dietary surveys of people who died of prostate cancer in 59 countries and found that the mortality rate of prostate cancer patients was directly proportional to the intake of meat, dairy products, and poultry, and inversely proportional to the intake of cereals, nuts, and fish. It is suggested that people who consume too much meat and dairy products are more likely to die of prostate cancer. This is related to the fact that animal fat foods can increase male adult sexual hormone levels and increase the risk of cancer, as prostate cancer is quite sensitive to hormone levels in the blood.
