Steps to incorporate into your eating to arm your body to fight and to heal your cells now.
-Tomatoes 2x week, reduces your risk by 23% (find more carotenoids)
-Fish oil can increases the ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 in your blood- which reduces cox-2 inflammation (the bad guys) and slows progression of prostate cancer.
-Incorporate lots of foods high in Vit. E- nuts, seeds, spinach, peppers and olive oil
-Avoid- high glycemic foods, processed meat, red meat
-Cruciferous veg- especially broccoli- 1 times a week can cut aggressive stage III & IV by 45%.It's an anti carcinogen, sulforaphane, turns on the liver enzymes to detox carcinogens, alkalinize urine and to accelerate carcinogen excretion.
-Drink pomegranate juice- 8oz daily, to slow tumor doubling time.(yay flavonoids!)
-Adding flax meal (3 heap T) daily reduced 30-40% tumor growth in 4-6mo. Recommended daily in 1/2-1T unless you have a family history of prostate cancer or have already been diagnosed. Then up the amount and don't worry about the calories.
