Fighting Inequity: What Prostate Cancer Patients Can Do to Self-Advocate
Fish
Coldwater fish like salmon, sardines, and trout are filled with good fats that don’t trigger inflammation in the way that fatty meats like beef do.
Studies are showing that inflammation in the prostate is dangerous as it can make it easier for cancer to take hold.
Although fish is healthy for you, all fish aren’t created equal. Tuna, shrimp, and scallops have a higher chance of causing inflammation.
Cooked Tomatoes
For years there have been studies on the relationship between tomatoes and prostate cancer. There’s an antioxidant found in tomatoes called lycopene and it’s found in the cell walls of tomatoes.
When cooked, the bond loosens and it makes it easier for the body to take advantage of the antioxidant and send it to the prostate.
This means that tomato sauce, pasta, and juice does wonders for the prostate. You can take it a step further by adding olive oil which helps the body absorb lycopene.
Coffee & Tea
When you think of tea, think of antioxidants. Coffee and tea contain antioxidants called catechins. This specifically prevents healthy cells from mutating.
Some studies suggest that drinking seven cups of tea a day could significantly lower the risk of getting prostate cancer. While drinking seven cups of tea a day can be deemed a tough task, starting with one a day will suffice.
