BY Berton Gladstone 2020-07-24

  Prostate cancer is a common tumor that threatens men’s health, and the incidence rate has gradually increased in recent years. Fortunately, there has been a leapfrog development in the medical level, and the diagnostic technology and treatment level have also been greatly improved. The ratio of early diagnosis and early treatment of prostate cancer has also been greatly improved, and the patient is therefore hopeful of a complete cure. The following content introduces, which people are easy to get prostate cancer?

   1. Age over 50 years old

  Although young people can also get prostate cancer, the probability is very low. Prostate cancer is generally dominated by middle-aged and elderly people. People over 50 years old have a significantly increased chance of getting prostate cancer. And with the increase of age, the possibility of getting prostate cancer is also greatly increased. According to statistics, 70% of people with prostate cancer are older than 65 years old.

   2. Someone in the older generation of the family has prostate cancer

  Prostate cancer is related to genetic variation, so it has a certain genetic tendency. For example, the incidence of Western races is significantly higher than that of Asian races. Similarly, if someone in the elder family has prostate cancer, the likelihood of their offspring getting sick will increase significantly. For example, one of the father and brother has prostate cancer, then the probability of himself suffering from prostate cancer will be twice as high as that of ordinary people. If the father and brother or more people have prostate cancer, then the risk of getting cancer will be Increased to 5 to 11 times.

  3. Different people have different chances of getting prostate cancer

  The incidence of prostate cancer is highest among African Americans (ie American blacks), followed by European and American whites The incidence of yellow races in Asia is low, and the incidence of black races in Africa is the lowest. Although the incidence of prostate cancer in yellow races is significantly lower than that in European and American countries, in recent years, the incidence of prostate cancer in Asian countries (including China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, etc.) has shown a trend of increasing year by year.

   4. Lifestyle habits and diet also affect the incidence of prostate cancer

  The mental and psychological pressure is too great, and the probability of irregular life will increase prostate cancer. In addition, people who are accustomed to high-fat diet, smoking, and drinking (except a small amount of red wine), the probability of getting prostate cancer will increase.

  We are not helpless about prostate cancer, and we can also prevent it by diet and behavior in daily life. Perseverance will definitely receive the expected results. Here are some preventive measures:

   1. A balanced diet and healthy lifestyle habits help prevent prostate cancer

  green vegetables, fruits, soybeans, and soy milk can reduce the incidence of prostate cancer ;Some natural anti-carcinogens in soybeans (such as protein inhibitors, phytic acid, phytosterols, saponins, xylin, and isoflavones), one of the ingredients of soybeans isoflavones can prevent the occurrence of prostate cancer; in red wine Resveratrol is considered to have anti-cancer effects, so regular drinking of a small amount of red wine is beneficial to the prevention of prostate cancer;

   2. Keeping a good mindset by exercising to lose weight helps prevent cancer

< p>   According to research, weight loss can also help reduce the risk of prostate cancer. At the same time, we must maintain a comfortable mood and good attitude, regular life and rest habits.

   3. Eating foods rich in vitamins can help prevent cancer

  For example, foods rich in vitamins such as grains, green leafy vegetables, etc. can be beneficial for cancer prevention. Studies have shown that selenium and vitamin E can reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

   4. Lycopene and drinking tea:

   Studies have shown that tomato products and lycopene are beneficial in reducing the risk of prostate cancer and are more effective than fresh tomatoes. This is because during processing, a large amount of trans-lycopene in fresh tomatoes is converted to cis-lycopene, which is more conducive to absorption. In addition, green tea has a certain effect on the prevention of prostate cancer. Tea contains components such as polyphenols and catechins, which can prevent and inhibit the occurrence and growth of tumors.
