In addition to drugs, diet management is essential to alleviate prostatitis .

Therefore, pay attention to supplement proteins, such as milk, lean meat, marine fish, seaweed, and nuts rich in essential fatty acids. Soybeans and their products are the best food to prevent prostate cancer.

Vitamin E and lycopene can reduce the incidence rate of prostate cancer.

3. Pay attention to supplement minerals selenium and zinc. Selenium and zinc are two essential trace minerals lacking in the blood of patients with prostate disease. Selenium is an antioxidant, which can prevent cells from oxidative damage and cause tumor growth; Zinc is a mineral concentration in the prostate. Scientists believe that zinc can regulate the metabolism of testosterone in the prostate. Seafood and nuts are rich in minerals such as zinc and selenium.

4. Limit fat intake. Some studies have pointed out that high animal fat in the diet is a significant risk factor for prostate cancer. Reducing the intake of oil and eating less oil can also reduce the inflammation of the prostate caused by some compounds. Try to reduce the daily fat intake to less than 20% of total calories to reduce the incidence rate of prostate cancer.
