Cut down Your Risk of Getting Prostate Cancer – With Healthy Diets & Nutrition.

 Prostate cancer is the foremost leading cause of death in men worldwide. Statistics  also confirms that it is the most common cancer in men in Nigeria, with over 50,000 new cases diagnosed every year. The worst part is that it is silent and deadly if not detected early.
The late Nelson Mandela was diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer at the age of 83. He underwent radiotherapy with curative intent and most of his prostate gland was removed in 1990 in an operation, luckily he  made a full recovery. He lived until the age of 95, and was cancer-free until the end.
Current statistics by the World Health Organisation (WHO) shows that in Nigeria within a period of four years, there was an increase in the death rate among men caused by prostate cancer. For instance, WHO noted that 26 men die daily, up from 14 men upwards every day.

What is Prostate Cancer?

It is the development of a malignant growth or tumor caused by uncontrolled or abnormal cell division in the  prostate gland tissues .Prostate cancer is typically slow growing, and the 5-year survival rate for all stages of prostate cancer combined is 99 percent, the 10-year survival rate is 91 percent, and the 15-year survival rate is 76 percent. It is a disease that when detected early can be managed… if you make changes in your diet and lifestyle.

Risk Factors For Prostate Cancer

Experts have identified the two major steps by which prostate cancers develop. Step 1 –  the cells are exposed to factors, such as viruses or toxins, that cause or trigger the unusual or uncontrolled cell growth. Step 2 –  factors such as wrong diet, hormones, and environmental toxins promote the growth and development of the abnormal cells.
