Dietary Guidelines For Prostate Health

So to reduce symptoms, incorporate these factors in your daily diet:

• increase intake of fruits, vegetables and whole grains, soy, and green tea, foods rich in omega 3 oils (cold-water fish – salmon, sardines, mackerel) and in zinc (raw pumpkin seeds for omega-3 and zinc)
• reduce foods high in fat and cholesterol (butter and margarine, beef and
  whole milk), sweet foods, and refined carbohydrates (white bread and white-flour pasta)
• avoid or decrease intake of alcohol, coffee, and beer, particularly after dinner, and tobacco
• taking saw palmetto* supplements may benefit the prostate

* Saw palmetto (Serona repens) is a type of palm tree, also known as the dwarf palm. Its primary medicinal value is in the oily compounds found in its berries. Most dietary supplements are composed of an extract or powder derived from the berries. Saw palmetto is believed to inhibit the actions of testosterone on the prostate that causes prostate enlargement.

NOTE: There is mounting evidence that very-low-fat (such as the Ornish Diet) and vegetarian regimes aid in fighting Prostate cancer.
