Is Prostrate Cancer Inevitable?

This is a question asked often by men of all ages. Now if you live long enough the odds greatly increase. So in Western societies it may seem it is inevitable. This article will explore that issue.

Guys if you are under forty five years of age it is quite uncommon. However for you men by the time you are eighty, the sad percentage that have it is between seventy and ninety. This is most common type of your cancer in men. As a matter of fact the average age at diagnosis is seventy two. Not so good is it?

Naturally you can do nothing about your age. And you certainly can do nothing about your family history. If your grandfather, father, brother or your son have had prostate cancer your odds are higher. Also this disease is even more prevalent among African American men.

But all is not lost, there is growing evidence that you actually can reduce your risk of it and maybe even slow it down if you already have it. Nothing new about this to me as you must simply change your diet. I have been saying that to everyone for years, but if you have it or at risk for it, does it not make sense to change? And it may be just some moderate changes.

Now it is worthy of note that in Asian countries, where their consumption of soy, fish. and produce is very high and their red meat and dairy consumption is low, their rate of prostate cancer is ten times lower than in the Western countries. As you all know we in the Western countries fill our plates with red meats and fatty dairy products.

There is good news for you in that most prostrate cancers are slow growers. The fact is that with early detection many doctors just take a wait and see approach. Of course there must be careful monitoring.

But guys why sit back and wait for the devil to attack, why not see if you can beat him to the punch. You can take a big step in the right direction regarding delaying its development or not getting it at all. The answer should be obvious to you by now, eat more foods like tomatoes and broccoli. So yes, you can make this a problem you can live with rather than die from.

So you must watch this issue and who knows you may even be in that percentage that does not get it, that is, if you moderate your diet as in the Asian countries. And as always you must live well to be well.
