A tomato-rich diet helps protect men from prostate cancer |with 0 Comments| Men who eat over 10 portions a week of tomatoes have an 18 per cent lower risk of developing prostate cancer, new research suggests. The second most common cancer in men worldwide Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men worldwide! Rates of prostate cancer are higher in developed countries, which some experts believe is linked to a Westernised diet and lifestyle. Researchers at the Universities of Bristol, Cambridge and Oxford looked at the diets and lifestyles of 1 806 men aged between 50 and 69 with prostate cancer and compared with 12 005 cancer-free men. Prostate cancer prevention dietary index The NIHR-funded study is the first study of its kind to develop a prostate cancer 'dietary index' which consists of dietary components - selenium, calcium and foods rich in lycopene. Men who had optimal intake of these three dietary components had a lower risk of prostate cancer. Tomatoes and related products - such as tomato juice and baked beans - were shown to be most beneficial, with an 18 per cent reduction in risk found in men eating over 10 portions a week. This is thought to be due to lycopene, an antioxidant which fights off toxins that can cause DNA and cell damage. "Our findings suggest that tomatoes may be important in prostate cancer prevention. However, further studies need to be conducted to confirm our findings, especially through human trials. Men should still eat a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, maintain a healthy weight and stay active,â said Vanessa Er, from the School of Social and Community Medicine at the University of Bristol and Bristol Nutrition BRU, who led the research. The researchers also looked at the recommendations on physical activity, diet and body weight for cancer prevention published by the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) and the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR). Only the recommendation on plant foods - high intake of fruits, vegetables and dietary fibre - was found to be associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer.

Muškarci koji konzumiraju više od 10 rajčica svakoga tjedna smanjuju rizik od raka prostate za 20%, navodi se u studiji koju se proveli stručnjaci iz Velike Britanije. Rak prostate drugi je najčešći oblik raka kod muškaraca diljem svijeta, primjerice svake godine u Velikoj Britaniji pojavi se 35 tisuća novih slučajeva oboljenja, a 10 tisuća ljudi umre od te zloćudne bolesti. Kako bi se što više smanjio rizik od raka, stručnjaci preporučuju uravnoteženu prehranu bogatu voćem i povrćem te s malim količinama crvenog i prerađenog mesa, masti i soli. Širok izbor voća i povrća ključan je za održavanje zdrave tjelesne težine kao i vježbanje. Tim stručnjaka sa sveučilišta u Bristolu analizirao je prehranu i stil života 20 tisuća britanskih muškaraca u dobi između 50 i 69 godina. Ispitanici koji su jeli preporučenih 5 porcija voća ili povrća tokom tjedna smanjili su rizik od raka za 24%. – “Naši rezultati pokazuju da rajčica može biti itekako važna u prevenciji raka prostate” – izjavila je Vannesa Er sa sveučilišta u Bristolu. Rajčica je odlična namirnica jer sadrži likopen – antioksidans koji ima sposobnost zaštititi DNK i stanice od oštećenja. No, stručnjaci savjetuju da se ljudi ne smiju bazirati samo na jednu vrstu voća ili povrća, nego da trebaju konzumirati širok spektar tih namirnica kako bi maksimizirali njihove zdravstvene potencijale. Daleko najbolja opcija za zdravlje je zdrava i uravnotežena prehrana s puno voća i povrća u kombinaciji s redovitom tjelovježbom. Prehrana i prevencija raka je vrlo složena tema, razne studije pokazuju da zdrava prehrana itekako ima utjecaj na smanjenje rizika od oboljenja, no čvrsti dokazi još nisu dostupni. U svakom slučaju formula za dobro zdravlje je jasna – potrebna je kvalitetna prehrana zajedno s čim više fizičke aktivnosti.
