eating tomatoes reduces the risk of having prostate cancer


 Swap red meat fro tomatoes to cut prostate-cancer risk

 

I found interesting news on the japan times!!!

 

According to this article, if men eat more tomato instead of eating red meat, they can reduce the risk of having prostate cancer. In addition, researcher said that who spent healthy life and practiced eating tomato in this way had a 39 lower risk of being prostate cancer. It is said that lycopene which is the element included in the tomato can block the action of cell-damaging free radicals.

 

Actually, I would not have prostate cancer because I am not a man, but I was surprised with that fact. According to the article one in six men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, so it is really common disease for men. Furthermore, I heard that it is very difficult to recover from cancer, so I was glad to get the helpful information. People know that they should spend good life style like not smoking, do exercise or eat healthy meals. However, it is difficult, so men would be happy to eat tomato to reduce their risk of dying of prostate cancer.


1. would you try this plan? why/ why not?
2. if you got cancer and said that you would be die, what would you do for your days left.

  1. I wonder how many men would be willing to eat tomatoes instead of meat. You should do a survey!
