prostate health
No specific measures are yet known to prevent the occurrence of prostate cancer in men. Doctors can only hope to prevent progression of the condition through early diagnosis and then attempting to cure the disease. Early diagnosis can be made via prostate cancer screening. This is done by routine yearly digital rectal examinations beginning at age 40 plus an annual PSA test beginning at age 50.
Based on some research, it is said that prostate health can be maintained through certain dietary measures. It has been suggested that men eat low fat diets and avoid red meats as these are thought to slow down the growth of prostate tumors in a manner yet unknown. Soybean products are also reportedly believed to inhibit the growth of prostate tumors by decreasing the mount of testosterone circulating in the blood.
