Men who want to protect themselves from benign prostate enlargement that occurs with aging should reduce their consumption of red meat and fat and focus on vegetables. 50% of men over the age of 50 suffer from this problem. Among 70-year-olds, the percentage reaches 80.

The only identified risk factor for benign gland enlargement is obesity, especially if the abdominal area is involved. To study how food affects the condition, Dr. Alan Crystal and the Fred Hutchinson Institute of Oncology in Seattle followed 4,770 cases among men who did not suffer from the problem. For a period of 7 years, prostate enlargement was found among 876 people.

The frequency is 33% higher among alcohol users compared to abstainers. Those who consume alcohol reduce the risk by as much as 32%. Red meat has a negative effect, but only if it is included in the diet daily. Crystal reminds that vegetables and legumes can also be a source of protein. Antioxidants have no effect.

Careful eating has an impact not only on the risk of prostate enlargement, but also obesity and heart disease.
