Why is the incidence of prostate cancer higher in Western countries than in China? Many people believe it is due to geographic location, environmental factors, or open sexuality, but a growing body of research suggests that the difference in Western dietary structure is the key factor. About 50 percent of men worldwide suffer from prostate disease, including prostatitis and prostate cancer. Even more frightening is the fact that prostate disease can recur. In the United States, prostate cancer is the second most common type of cancer in men, after lung cancer, and it affects about one in five American men. Prostate cancer also kills 9,500 men each year in the United Kingdom. Research by attending urologists has found that the best way to combat prostate disease today is to – “eat like an Asian”, and the dietary structure of countries such as Japan and China deserve particular attention. Red meat is dangerous The incidence of prostate disease is related to men’s androgen, fat and cholesterol intake and lifestyle, with the most critical factor being dietary habits. For example, he said, in China, men have no more than a 2 in 100,000 chance of developing prostate cancer; in Germany, the incidence of prostate cancer is almost 25 times higher than in China. But the Chinese who immigrate to Germany lose their advantage. In the United States, a survey of prostate cancer rates among different ethnic groups found that the incidence of prostate cancer was lower among those with a lower intake of fats and oils in their diet, and the difference was as much as 20 times. In the survey, the lowest incidence of prostate cancer was among the Japanese, but this advantage was lost in the first generation of Japanese immigrants to the United States, and by the third generation, the incidence of prostate cancer was no different from that of Americans. The high-fat foods in the Western diet increase the chances of prostate cancer. In Germany, people cannot eat three meals a day without meat: sliced pork on bread in the morning, diced meat on pizza at noon, and a steak dinner in the evening. The red meat with a bloody smell is the most dangerous, while the white meat commonly eaten by Asians is lower in fat, such as fish, chicken, rabbit, etc. The vitamin E contained in these meats can also reduce the incidence of prostate cancer. In addition, the spicy seasoning pepper, which is often consumed by Westerners, can also “help fire and heat”, triggering pelvic congestion and adding pressure to the prostate. As the number and time of drinking tea increases, the more obvious the role of green tea becomes. Western men generally drink alcohol before and after meals, which tends to congest the prostate. German experts suggest that you can drink some tea when eating like Asians, even if you drink alcohol, you can only drink some red wine with a lower alcohol content. The westerners have not been in the habit of eating soy products, but the Asian favorite soy products do harbor prostate cancer’s nemesis. The isoflavones in soy reduce the damaging effects of androgens and inhibit and kill cancer cells. Westerners eat too little vegetables and should eat more of a variety of vegetables like the Japanese and Chinese do. In addition to Chinese cabbage, there are vegetables such as cauliflower and broccoli that are also effective against prostate cancer. In addition, you can also eat some flax seeds and tomatoes every day. Tomatoes contain lycopene, which has a preventive and curative effect on prostate cancer. A combination of Western and Asian diets has led to the development of a recipe to combat prostate disease: at breakfast, drink a glass of tomato juice; at lunch, eat a bowl of salad or boiled vegetables containing carrots, cabbage or broccoli; at dinner, eat a little beans or brown rice instead; when you are hungry, eat some radishes or tomatoes at any time, which is not fattening and good for prostate cancer prevention and treatment. If the disease comes to you inadvertently, do not avoid the disease, but go to a professional medical institution to receive systematic treatment.
