These are some of the preventive measures you should follow:
- Get your prostate checked yearly after age 40
- Eat right. Studies show that people who eat a high fat diet have a greater risk of developing prostate cancer. On the other hand, fiber, soy protein, fruits, and cooked tomatoes have all been shown to reduce risk.
- Watch your weight. Obesity may be a contributing factor to a number of cancers, including prostate.
- Exercise regularly
- Don’t smoke
- Limit alcohol and avoid caffeine.
- Drink a lot of water. This can help flush out your bladder. Urine should be almost clear.
- Have regular sex. The best way to empty the prostate is to ejaculate.
- Consult your doctor about other prevention tips.
