Prostate Cancer

Which Food Do We Know Can Reduce the Risk of Prostate Cancer?

Oily Fish

 Onestudy shows that oily fish is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory properties. Due to this, they can reduce inflammation and prevent various cancers, including prostate cancer.

Are There Any Other Foods That Are Currently Understudied but Could Have Potential?

Watermelon

Watermelon is high in an antioxidant called lycopene. This compound can protect against the free radical damage that results in asthma, inflammatory joint disease, atherosclerosis, degenerative eye disease, diabetes, and cancer.

Beans

Beans are loaded with fiber. When you have enough fiber in the body, you are likely to experience increased sex-hormone binding globulin (SHBG) levels. SHBG binds tightly to estrogen, reducing the risk of prostate cancer.

I am deeply convinced that each patient needs a unique, individual approach. Therefore, I use different psychotherapy methods in my work. During my studies, I discovered an in-depth interest in people as a whole and the belief in the inseparability of mind and body, and the importance of emotional health in physical health. In my spare time, I enjoy reading (a big fan of thrillers) and going on hikes.
