Medical research studies have found a definitive link between stress and diet and the important role each plays in prostate health. There are many foods which should be incorporated in the diet of males to prevent some of the most common prostate problems such as infection, enlargement and cancer. The list of foods below is recommended for maintaining a healthy prostate:

• Fresh vegetables
• Fresh fruits
• Legumes (peas, beans and lentils)
• Fresh fish (cold ocean fish such as salmon, sardines, cod and mackerel)
• Whole grains
• Organic foods



Foods to avoid include the following:

• Fatty foods
• Red meats
• Excess salts
• Hydrogenated oils
• Canned or prepackaged foods
• Soda
• Alcohol
• Black teas
• Coffee
• Dairy foods

A man should also avoid cigarette and cigar smoking and forms of second hand smoke. In addition to the foods listed above, a male should get regular exercise, drink adequate fluids, get enough rest and avoid stressful situations whenever possible.

I've also read that exercise helps a lot too. Makes sense, since everything always seems to be a "combination of diet and exercise"

As men age the risk of prostate problems increase dramatically, particularly after the age of 65 years old. The prostate can play a direct role in the quality of life and overall health, which is why it is so important to maintain a healthy diet rich in certain vitamins and minerals. In this article we will discuss different ways a man can improve the quality of prostate health through the use of vitamins and mineral supplements.
