Prostate cancer is the second most occurring cancer in men. While regular prostate screenings with your medical professional can be helpful in prevention, it is also important to take good overall care of your health in order to provide prostate support. While is still not clear what causes prostate cancer, things such as age, race, family history, and obesity can all be risk factors. Common symptoms include trouble urinating, blood in semen, and bone pain to name a few.

Here are some foods to include in your diet each day to support your prostate health:

1. Tomatoes
Lycopene is a highly powerful antioxidant found in tomatoes. Studies have shown that lycopene may be helpful in slowing cell damage and cancer cell production. Include tomatoes in your salad or add to your main course to eat more tomatoes. Here are some great tomato dishes to try:

• pasta with fresh tomatoes
• tomato and onion salad
• avocado toast with sliced tomato

2. Green tea
By replacing your morning coffee with green tea, you can be doing so much for your health. The benefits of green tea go beyond your prostate support and include preventing cancer, improving brain function, burning fat, and lowering your risk of infection. Here are some great green tea drinks to try:

• iced green tea
• green tea with mint and honey
• green tea ice cream

3. Broccoli
Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli have been shown to lower your risk of cancer. They are rich in nutrients such as beta-carotene, vitamin E, C, and K, folate, minerals, and are also a good source of fiber. Add broccoli as a side dish or enjoy it raw to get more broccoli in your diet. Here are some great broccoli dishes to try:

• broccoli casserole
• pasta with broccoli and sausage
• grilled beef with broccoli

4. Fatty fish
Omega-3’s can do so much more than help prevent cancer. They are beneficial for eye health, anxiety, healthy pregnancy, heart disease, inflammation, and improve bone and joint health. Try replacing one to two meals per week with salmon and see how it makes a difference for you. Here are some great fatty fish dishes to try:

• grilled salmon with quinoa and spinach
• seafood salad
• Pistachio-crusted tuna steaks
