Prostate cancer is a slow growing disease, however, in later stages very difficult to treat effectively. The numbers are astonishing, but not surprising. Every sixth man will receive a prostate cancer diagnosis at some point in is life. Each year and in the United States alone around 200,000 new patients are getting diagnosed with prostate cancer. And a solid 15% will ultimately lead to death. 

However, as with all cancer, prevention is key. And there are many things that one can do for a good prostate health. The good news is: it's simple and inexpensive and those measures have a lot of POSITIVE side effects, as they promote the overall health of the patient.

Let's look into five concrete tips that are scientifically proven to help protecting from prostate cancer and other diseases:

Omega-3 fatty acids:  A study conducted under John S. Witte at the University of California clearly showed that an increased intake of so called polyunsaturated fatty acids - such as Omega-3 - may protect you from getting prostate cancer. The study was done with a group of men and those who consumed dark fish (such as salmon) had a 63% lower risk of getting an aggressive prostate cancer, in comparison to those who did not or only rarely consumed fish with high concentrations of Omega-3s.


Pomegranates and Walnuts: Didn't I just tell you it's inexpensive to protect your health? There you go! Another pair of proven prostate cancer fighters are pomegranates and walnuts. Both fall under the superfood category, which simply means super-healthy. Again, scientifically proven! Pomegranets for example contain certain compounds including phenylpropanoids and flavones.


Green Tea, and yes, Coffee: Good news for all the coffee addicts. Yes, it can be good for you if you drink it in moderation. And it's not news anymore that green tea and its antioxidants play a major role in the treatment of prostate cancer, or any other form of cancer for that matter. Specifically, Polyphenol E which is one of the substances in green tea significantly reduce the levels of PSA, which is a Prostate Specific Antigen and its presence usually indicates the severity of the disease in certain prostate cancer patients.


Healthy Cholesterol levels: Same old story. There is a link between high levels of cholesterol and an increased risk of developing prostate cancer and many other cancerous diseases. Scientists affiliated with John Hopkins have proven that cholesterol levels below 200mg/dL are associated with up to 60% of a lower likelihood of developing aggressive prostate cancer. How do you get a healthy cholesterol level? Eat right and exercise! Simple and easy, as I said!


Vitamin D: I am not a scientist as you know, but based on my research as a cancer patient, Vitamin D to me is probably the single most important substance in cancer prevention. Researchers in the UK suggest that Vitamin D can be highly effective in the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer by reducing the risk up to 20%. How do you get enough Vitamin D? Just get enough sunlight and/or get yourself a high quality supplement me and my wife do.     

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of death among men in America. And in the United Kingdom, every hour a man dies from this disease. It is of paramount importance that we increase the level of awareness of available alternative treatments for prostate cancer, that have been scientifically proven to protect against this condition.
