5 Ways To A Healthy Prostate

Prostate cancer affects over 233,000 men and almost 30,000 die in the US alone every year. As with any other cancer, prevention is key. Here are 5 new ways to think about prostate health.

Tomatoes

Tomatoes contain lycopene which is a powerful antioxidant that may prevent tumor growth.


Know Your Risk Factors

Family history plays an important role in the development of prostate cancer. Talk to your doctor about your family history and a possible prevention path. 

Screen Annually

 

Get your baseline PSA test (prostate specific antigen test) starting at age 40. Ask your doctor about this test.  


Berries

Blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and others are high in vitamin C and antioxidants. They prevent cancer growth.

Get Active

Exercising regularly improves your body's strength and wellness to fight off disease.
