Research indicates prostate cancer risk/progression increases with:
- Egg consumption (choline)
- Meat, fish, poultry & egg consumption
- Dairy (milk, cheese) consumption
- Physical inactivity
- Being overweight/obese
Treating Advanced Prostate Cancer with Diet Part 1
Research indicates prostate cancer risk/progression decreases with:
- Improved diet (replacing animal foods with plant foods)
- Increased regular exercise
- Losing weight
- Daily consumption of tomatoes
