Summary
Simple dietary choices that may protect your prostate and improve symptoms.
<p>What you eat can influence prostate health. While no diet prevents prostate problems entirely, certain foods are linked to lower risk and better outcomes.</p><h2>Foods to Include</h2><p>Tomatoes, especially cooked ones, are rich in lycopene, an antioxidant associated with prostate health. Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and Brussels sprouts offer protective compounds. Fatty fish such as salmon provide omega 3 fats that may reduce inflammation.</p><h2>Foods to Limit</h2><p>High intakes of red meat, processed meats, and full fat dairy have been linked to higher prostate cancer risk. Charred or well done meats may be particularly concerning.</p><h2>Simple Swaps</h2><p>Replace a serving of red meat with fish each week. Add a tomato based sauce to your meals. Snack on nuts instead of processed foods. Small changes add up over time.</p>
