Prostate Cancer

One thing you can do that may lower the risk for prostate cancer is eat more low-fat, high-fiber foods and foods with omega-3 fatty acids, such as:

• Soy products, like tofu and soy beans.
• Tomatoes and foods that contain tomato sauce.
• Vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage.
• Fish, like salmon, albacore tuna, and sardines.
• Walnuts and flaxseed, and their oils.

Being physically active and staying at a healthy body weight also can help reduce the risk of prostate cancer.^{Reference 4}
