A CANCER - PROTECTIVE DIET.

A healthy diet can help the body in its efforts to heal itself, and in some cases, particular foods can strengthen the immune system and lessen the risks of serious illness. To help reduce your risk of some types of cancer, try the following:

Avoid polyunsaturated vegetable oils, margarine, vegetable shortening, all partially hydrogenated oils, and all foods that might contain trans-fatty acids (such as deep-fried foods).

Increase omega-3 fatty acids by eating more cold water oily fish, freshly ground flaxseeds, and walnuts.

Reduce consumption of animal foods and try to replace them with vegetable proteins such as soy.

Use hormone-free, organically produced products whenever possible.
Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Eat shiitake, enokidake, maitake, and oyster mushrooms frequently.

Drink green tea daily.

Are your men eating their veggies?

Men probably don’t need another reason to eat their vegetables, but here’s one: Research indicates that men who eat plenty of soluble fiber have a lower risk of prostate cancer than those who avoid it. While heart-healthy fiber can be found in fresh produce, oatmeal and beans, fiber from vegetables was shown to be the most beneficial for prostate health. How to achieve this feat? Be adventurous! Replace meat with beans in soups; make a vegetable-based casserole the main dish at dinner; try a veggie pizza instead of a meat version; include a fresh, organic vegetable salad or a side of steamed veggies with lunch and dinner. The possibilities are endless, and your prostate will thank you.
