Often in the consultation my patients ask me Doctor, what foods can I eat to help the prostate? In this video we are going to solve it, so that it is better understood the following recommendations that we are going to review Let's start with the first food, which is the tomato. In a research conducted by the universities of Bristol, Chambers and Oxford indicate that the consumption of ten servings a week of tomato reduces by 18% the risk of prostate cancer. This is due to the fact that tomatoes have a high content of a substance called Lico peno, which is an antioxidant. Nowadays in various products we hear this word oxidant.

Antioxidant is a molecule that is able to prevent and delay oxidation in cells. This oxidation, some cells produce a substance called free radicals. These free radicals generate inflammation and destruction of prostate cells, resulting in a possible formation of prostate cancer or all the foods we recommend. It is fish, since it has a high content of Omega three. These are healthy fats that help fight inflammation in the prostate. As we cannot develop them in our organism, we have to consume them through fish or all the foods we recommend consuming. It is broccoli, since it has a high content of a substance called afan sulfide. This substance is a powerful antioxidant that prevents the formation of cancer cells. It is recommended to consume broccoli at least twice a week. Another of the foods or beverages that we recommend consuming is green tea, since it has a high content of a substance called polyphenols. In several studies that have been carried out comparing Latin American men, North American men, European men and Asian men, it has been observed that Asian men have certain reduction and protection factors against prostate cancer because they consume green tea daily or all the foods that are recommended to consume are nuts, walnuts, almonds, pistachios, since they have a high content of selenium.

Yes is a mineral found within the prostatic fluid and helps fight bacteria that face the prostate or all the foods it suggests consuming. It is avocado as it is high in a substance that is called bettas and these Terol. This is an oxidant portent that helps fight inflammation in the prostate or all the foods that are recommended are citrus fruits, limes, lemons, oranges, as they have a high content of vitamin C. This is a strong antioxidant that in a large percentage is eliminated through urine, providing protection to the urinary tract and reducing inflammation in the prostate. And as in any good diet, water consumption is recommended. Those people who do not consume water have a more concentrated urine, denser and this urine will allow the growth of bacteria.

The abundant growth of bacteria will generate infection and this infection will generate a chronic inflammation in the prostate, generating a risk factor for prostate cancer. Eye and warning. The following recommendations we have just made are for healthy patients who do not have urinary symptoms, do not struggle to urinate and have healthy prostates. This is in order to prevent certain prostate diseases, especially prostate cancer and prostate enlargement in those patients who have urinary symptoms and have difficulty urinating.
