summary

The incidence rate of prostate cancer has increased significantly with the prolongation of life expectancy, the change of lifestyle and diet structure. We should be prepared for prevention and timely treatment.

Can prostate cancer eat cod liver oil

1. Many people believe that cod liver oil can effectively prevent the incidence of prostate cancer. However, I would like to tell you that two well-designed large-scale experimental studies in the world have shown that eating cod liver oil can make the blood appear relatively high omega-3 fatty acids, which has the opposite effect and will increase the risk of prostate cancer.

2. Diet and prostate cancer are mainly divided into two aspects: (1) carcinogenic food (or carcinogenic risk factors); (2) anti-cancer food (or anti-cancer food). Generally speaking, a large intake of meat, especially red meat and fat, is associated with prostate cancer. Fruits and vegetables, especially tomatoes, can reduce the risk of prostate cancer; appropriate supplement of plant compounds (rich in phytoestrogens), green tea, selenium, vitamin E, red wine can reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

Studies have shown that a high-fat diet increases the risk of prostate cancer. The reason is: excessive fat intake will lead to increased cholesterol synthesis, which will lead to an increase in the level of cholesterol based androgen synthesis, and the increase of testosterone ratio in androgen is an important risk factor of prostate cancer. Representatives of high-fat diet include: red meat and processed meat, "red" meat refers to beef and mutton; processed meat includes: sausage, hamburger, steak, smoked and pickled meat (including ham and bacon); canned meat. So patients should reduce high-fat diet.

matters needing attention

Patients with prostate cancer should mainly eat plant protein and plant fat, eat more fruits, vegetables, beans and cereals, and eat less animal fat and animal protein, so as to reduce the content of serum dihydrotestosterone and reduce the possibility of prostate cancer. Adhering to scientific and reasonable eating habits, adhering to good living habits and keeping a good mood are beneficial to the prevention and treatment of diseases.
