Fish Help Fight Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is a scourge for the men. And risks will increasingly advanced with age.

Eating a diet rich in fish oil is believed to reduce the risk of prostate cancer. This is because fish contain high levels of fats that are good for the body, the omega 3.

The findings in the American Journal of Epidemiology showed that men who regularly ate omega-3 is believed to have a lower risk of dying from one type of this deadly cancer, which is about 34-40 per cent.

"Eating fish can provide a modest protective effect on the risk of prostate cancer and its progression, and possible death due to other diseases," said researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, USA, reported by the Dailymail.

A study last year by researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles found that fish oil helps reduce the amount of rapid cell division in the prostate cancer tissue. This is what helps reduce the chance of spreading the disease to other body parts.

Choose fish that live in cold water, such as salmon, herring, mackerel or sardines that have very high content of omega 3. When he wants to eat, choose raw (sushi or sashimi), grilled or poached, and stay away from frying.
