There are several things you can do to improve your prostate health:
- Watch your diet. Men who are eat at least five servings of fruit and vegetables a day are at lower risk for developing cancer of any kind, including prostate cancer. It is especially advised that you eat plenty of vegetables that contain lycopene, such as tomatoes, since this is supposed to improve prostate health.
- Get active. It is recommended that you exercise for at least 30 minutes every day.
- Consider taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. This technique is still under debate as to its effectiveness, but essentially taking Ibuprofen, or naproxen may inhibit the formation of prostate cancer cells.
- Have an annual physical. Make it a practice to have a physical every year so you can detect prostate cancer and other health issues before they get out of hand.
- Consider taking a vitamin or supplement. While the verdict is still out on whether vitamins and supplements can improve prostate health, it is suggested that you take vitamin E and lycopene supplements.
