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.
