The Larger Your Prostate, the Less Your Chance of Getting Prostate Cancer

Introduction.

The larger your prostate, the less your chance of getting prostate cancer – this is the main conclusion of the recent study by K. R. Nandalur et al.(2021). Until recently, the relationship between benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer (PC) remained controversial. Some studies have found such a relationship, while others, on the contrary, couldn’t find any association between them. Therefore, and to reduce the fear of most people suffering from BPH symptoms of a possible escalation into PC, the idea of the independence of these conditions of the prostate has been propagated.

Cruciferous Vegetables (Sulforaphane) and Prostate Cancer

Introduction.

Prostate cancer (PC) is a disease typical for old age, though anomalies in the prostate tissue can be observed in men in their twenties or thirties. Therefore, PC is believed to be slow-growing cancer. The long, relatively silent period of prostate cancer suggests that different types of therapies could potentially slow disease progression or stop disease onset, which could help to avoid or decrease invasive surgical procedures such as prostatectomy. 

In the previous posts, we discussed various food ingredients such as Lycopene in tomatoes, Polyacetylenic oxylipins in carrots, Vitamin K2 in sauerkraut, and natto that have proven anti-cancer activities. Here we will address the cancer-healing properties of one more magic gift of nature – broccoli

Health Risks and Side Effects of Testosterone Therapy

Introduction.

Many studies suggest the essential role of testosterone in keeping vigorous metabolic processes throughout the body. However, with age, testosterone levels decline, and the levels of sex hormone-binding globulin increase, both trends resulting in decreased bioavailable testosterone with all its benefits. The Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging published the rate of hypogonadism (reduced testicular size) as 20% in men over 60, 30% in men over 70, and 50% in men over 80 of age.

Foods Reducing the Risk of Prostate Cancer. Tomatoes.

Introduction.

Lycopene, belonging to the carotenoids, is abundantly found in tomatoes and tomato-based products, pink grapefruit, and watermelon. Despite not having red or orange color, Asparagus, and parsley are also good sources of lycopene.  

Lycopene is a potent antioxidant-an important deactivator of reactive oxygen species. The human body cannot synthesize lycopene, so it must be consumed with daily food. The absorbed lycopene is mostly stored in the testes, liver, adrenals, and prostate, with concentrations in the testes as high as ten times that of other tissues. This may point to an exclusive biological role of lycopene in certain tissues.

Whole foods vs supplements in the prevention of chronic diseases

Introduction.

It has long been noted that the regular consumption of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains is correlated with a low incidence of chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune diseases, etc. Scientists began attributing plant foods’ health benefits to various biologically active substances isolated from different parts of plants. However, the assumption that isolated individual antioxidants or phytochemicals can replace the intake of plant foods has proven to be erroneous, if not harmful. The results of clinical trials are not consistent with the beneficial effects of the dietary supplements and cannot explain the observed health advantages of diets rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Dietary supplements in clean form may not work in the same way as the ingredients of the whole food and, in addition to having fewer useful effects, may also be potentially dangerous.

Carrots – a food with proven anti-cancer power

Introduction. 

Carrot is a gold mine in our kitchen, rich in health-beneficial phytochemicals such as carotenoids, vitamins, minerals, flavonoids, and polyacetylenes.

Nowadays, scientific evidence backing carrot has been accumulating in terms of anticancer, cholesterol and cardiovascular disease lowering, anti-diabetic, anti-hypertensive, hepatoprotective, renoprotective, and wound healing benefits.
A person is often dismissive of what he is used to seeing every day in abundance. Therefore, many may not even suspect that they have at hand a product that can prevent or even cure many types of chronic diseases. This post will focus on carrots’ scientifically proven health benefits, particularly their outstanding anti-cancer properties.
