Superfoods For A Healthy Prostate. 2

A diet based on the consumption of natural foods is the best that can be given to the body. Studies show that certain specific nutrients help health to avoid changes in the body leading to prostatitis, prostate hypertrophy and prostate cancer.

We present you the following 3 foods ... The first part described the benefits of Brazil nuts, broccoli and hot red pepper.

Turmeric is a perennial herb, also known as turmen or Indian saffron, whose roots are used to make the spice of the same name. The active ingredient of turmenica is curcumin , which is responsible for the specific color and peppery taste of curry.
Over the last decade, information has been constantly emerging from research on the benefits of curcumin. Its potential to fight inflammation , infections, including colds and flu, and asthma benefits is highlighted . Evidence of its anticancer effect, including against prostate cancer, is accumulating.

A study by the State University of New Jersey, USA, demonstrated that turmeric, either as a stand-alone supplement or as a spice to cruciferous dishes , specifically - broccoli, cabbage and others. - changes the health of the prostate to a more favorable, ie brings benefits in the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer . According to the results of research, this combination leads to limited tumor growth.
A 2009 study by the University of Oregon Health and Science documented that curcumin had the effect of preventing tumor disease from metastasizing to bone, and another of the University of California that it led to the self-destruction of cancer cells, or apoptosis .
  

Mushrooms, especially Asian ones, contain ingredients that help the body fight cancer. The Asian shiitake mushroom contains lentinan , a type of beta-glucan that has anti-cancer properties. There is evidence that the compound inhibits the development of colon and breast cancer. There is still no definite data on the effect against prostate cancer, but the history of 6,000 years of its use in the treatment of men should not be ignored.

Asian mushrooms are also rich in the antioxidant l-ergothioneine , especially the types of shiitake, oyster, king oyster, reishi and maitake. This antioxidant is particularly strong in its effect of preventing the degeneration of cancer cells from exposure to toxins and other true substances.
The application of these mushrooms can be wide in the kitchen - in soups, sauces, dishes, salads, even in combination with cereals.

The power of green tea lies in the catechins it contains. These polyphenols are antioxidants that have the ability to destroy bacteria and viruses, strengthen the immune system and help the body fight several types of cancer , including prostate. Of the seven types of catechins , epigallocatechin gallate , EGCG, is the most potent.

Studies have shown that EGCG lowers the level of prostate-specific antigen and two other biomarkers for prostate cancer, hepatocyte growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor.

Catechins also help with precancerous prostate changes, such as prostate intraepithelial neoplasia. It is clear from clinical trials that daily catechins reduce the risk of the condition evolving and progressing to cancer. They also reduce the risk of developing urinary tract symptoms , making them suitable for the treatment of an enlarged prostate.

Each subsequent study showed that men who consumed at least three cups of green tea a day reduced their risk of prostate cancer. Its ingredients, according to a number of researchers, limit the action of an enzyme that plays a key role in the occurrence of the disease and apoptosis of prostate cancer cells. These compounds have the ability to "repair" damaged elements of the DNA responsible for tumor growth, as well as to counteract the enzyme COX-2 , which has a role in the progression of prostate cancer.
