Prostate disease is the most common disease among men. Due to the increasing pressure of life and work, and the irregular diet of men, prostate cancer has been a high incidence among male friends in recent years. So what details in life can lead to prostate cancer in men? Perhaps the milk we drink most often is one of them.
Prostate cancer is a common malignant tumor of the male reproductive system. A Boston research team in the United States conducted a follow-up survey of 20885 male doctors in the United States for 11 years. The dairy products consumed mainly include skimmed milk, whole milk and cheese, among which 1012 men developed prostate cancer. After statistical analysis, it was found that the concentration of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (with anti-prostate cancer effect) in the plasma of men who consumed 600 mg of calcium per day was significantly lower than that of men who consumed 150 mg of calcium per day from dairy products, and the risk of prostate cancer increased by 32%. After excluding age, weight, smoking, physical exercise and other factors, it was found that, Compared with men who eat more than 2.5 portions of dairy products (each equivalent to 240 ml of milk) every day, the risk of prostate cancer increases. Researchers in Philadelphia, the United States, also confirmed that eating more dairy products will increase the risk of prostate cancer in men through nearly 10 years of epidemiological investigation. There are also studies in China that have found that milk intake is significantly related to the incidence rate of prostate cancer, which may be due to the high estrogen content in some brands of milk.
Fortunately, some plant compounds in fruits and vegetables have certain anti-cancer effects. Lycopene is an important carotenoid, which widely exists in fruits and vegetables. Tomato, apricot, guava, watermelon, papaya and red grape all contain more lycopene, especially in tomato.
American researchers conducted a 6-year follow-up survey of 46000 men and found 773 cases of prostate cancer; The study found that compared with those who did not eat raw tomatoes, those who ate 2-4 times of tomatoes a week had a 26% lower risk of prostate cancer. Tomato pizza and ketchup also had this effect; Direct consumption of lycopene can also reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Lycopene has the strongest antioxidant activity among natural carotenoids. It can protect the genetic material DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells and regulate hormone status. Its anti-prostate cancer effect has been confirmed by a large number of studies.
What details in life can lead to prostate cancer in men? The above is the answer of Xiaobian. So in order to ensure the health of men, men can drink milk properly, but they must not drink too much. In addition, male friends must pay attention to balanced nutrition in diet and develop good living habits.
