Pour in a glass or two of red to keep prostate cancer at bay

Eating away cancer

Tomatoes, garlic, scallions and red wine - they all bursting with anti-oxidants which in turn help your body flush out toxins - preventing cancer in the long run. Garlic and scallion have organo-sulphur compounds and eating about 3 cloves of garlic and 2 tablespoon scallions every day reduces the risk significantly. Red wine has resveratrol - a glass or two will help lower the risk, more will negate the benefits. A combination of tomato and soy diet too seems to be working well in a recent study conducted by John Erdman, professor of food science and nutrition, and colleagues using genetically engineered laboratory mice - 3-4 servings of tomato-based products per week and 1-3 helpings of soya-based food every day help lower the risk.

To orgasmic nirvana

Masturbation or sex definitely lowers risk of prostate cancer. Other than the fun had along the way, it's the ejaculation that kind of cleans out the plumbing and prevents the buildup of cancerous cells in the first place. There are studies that show masturbation helps and studies that show its online PVI aka peno-vaginal intercourse that actually helps. In 2004, in the largest study of its kind the Journal of the American Medical Association stated that to gain any protective benefit against prostate cancer, more than 12 ejaculations per month (basically masturbating or having sex every other day) was required. The study also said that each increase of three ejaculations per week was associated with a 15% decrease in prostate cancer risk... A recent Australian study too declared that DIY sex may also help prevent prostate cancer. The study of 2,338 men showed that the guys who masturbated five or more times a week were 34 percent less likely to develop prostate cancer by age 70 than those who handled matters less often.

Play with the pals

A day out on the field with all your old pals from school kicking around the ball or playing a challenging game of basketball maybe frowned upon by girlfriends and wives, but hey, health comes first. Aerobic and cardio-vascular exercises, in other words any exercise that gets the blood pumping and the heart racing is a sure-shot disease prevention. So why not have fun along the way? Get together with pals and spend a surfing day, emulate cricketing heroes and play a good game even if there players short - getting that adrenalin rush is one good way to live a longer and healthier life.
