For many men with prostate cancer, prostate cancer is not so terrible. Prostate cancer is just a very hateful disease among male prostate diseases. The most important thing to do for this hateful disease is to actively accept treatment and fight the disease to the end. At the same time, the diet therapy of prostate cancer is also very good.
The reason why we recommend the diet therapy for prostate cancer is that a healthy diet is more conducive to patients' physical strength and disease resistance, and can also help them fight disease together.
In addition to using some professional treatment methods to treat prostate cancer in clinic, of course, some auxiliary treatment methods will also be added, and the most commonly used is diet therapy. Now let's briefly introduce the matters needing attention in the diet treatment of prostate cancer:
Fat
Fat inhalation has a positive relationship with prostate cancer, especially saturated fat. Many studies have shown that excessive inhalation of animal fat, meat and dairy products can increase the risk of prostate cancer. It is worth noting that these diets tend to have high levels of total fat and saturated fat. It is difficult to separate these related variables separately, and it is also difficult to directly link one of these food lists with the risk of prostate cancer. In the traditional North American diet, about 40% of the calories come from fat, while the recommended diet contains no more than 30% of the calories from fat.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D can prevent prostate cancer. Prostate epithelial cells contain vitamin D receptors. Normal vitamin D content in blood can inhibit the continued differentiation of cancer cell groups that have been determined. Therefore, vitamin D deficiency can lead to an increased risk of prostate cancer. As long as the intake of vitamin D in the diet is at or near the recommended level, the risk of prostate cancer is normal. Many studies have shown that the risk of prostate cancer does not decrease when vitamin D intake exceeds the recommended level.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E has not been widely studied for prostate cancer. Some researchers said that the lower level of vitamin E in the blood was related to the increased risk of prostate cancer. Some studies also said that there was no relationship between the two. In another study, someone investigated 2. 90000 Finnish smokers who inhaled 50 mg vitamin E supplements per day reduced the risk of prostate cancer or death by 30% to 40%. Vitamin E can affect some prescription drugs. For the vast majority of people, the upper limit of the safe intake of vitamin E is 1000 mg per day. Beyond this number, vitamin E can play the role of an oxidant instead of a protective antioxidant.
Vitamin A and β Carotene
So far, there is no clear link between prostate cancer and vitamin A inhalation. Some studies have shown that vitamin A deficiency can increase the risk of prostate cancer, while others have shown that vitamin A supplements neither provide protection nor increase the risk of prostate cancer. The source of vitamin A is very important. In Asia, vitamin A mainly comes from vegetables, while in North America, vitamin A mainly comes from fat. β Carotene is a kind of carotene, which can be converted into vitamin A. Like vitamin A, β The relationship between carotene inhalation and the risk of prostate cancer is also unclear.
