Healthy Prostate

Prostate health is one of the most important health issues facing American men. In fact, prostate cancer is the second leading cause of death for all males in the U.S.! High levels of testosterone and a substance called IGF-1 cause prostate cells to gray, which is a key reason why American males should avoid testosterone supplements whenever possible. Growth hormones are also very risky. Recent research shows that saw palmetto reduces IGF-1 levels and inhibits prostate growth. Foods and supplements rich in vitamin E can also provide prostate protection. Fruits and vegetables are a potent weapon for prostate health, studies show that men who routinely get at least three servings a day can cut their risk of prostate cancer by as much as half. High-fat diets should be off limits, and routine prevention screening is a must.
