Prostate cancer will now be braked! Scientists Discover 3 Superfoods That Will Cure Disease
Prostate cancer remains a serious concern for men around the world. But now an easy and effective way to stop its progression in the early stages of this disease has emerged.
Prostate cancer remains a serious concern for men around the world. But now an easy and effective way to stop its progression in the early stages of this disease has emerged. In a recent research, scientists have identified three superfoods that can slow the growth of prostate cancer.
According to research, excessive consumption of fish, olive oil and walnuts can slow down the growth of prostate cancer cells. Also, it has been advised to limit high-fat and processed foods such as chips, biscuits and mayonnaise. This research has been published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
What does the research say?
According to a report in the Daily Mail, scientists from UCLA in the US conducted this study on 100 men who were in the early or low-risk stage of prostate cancer and had chosen the 'active surveillance' option. Active surveillance is a method in which cancer is regularly monitored, but not treated immediately.
In the study, participants were divided into two groups. The first group was given a diet rich in omega-6 fats and omega-3 fats. This included fish, olive oil and walnuts. Apart from this, he was also given fish oil supplements. At the same time, the other group was allowed to stay on their normal diet.
The researchers used a biomarker called the Ki-67 index to detect the growth rate of cancer cells. The first group (superfood diet and fish oil) found a 15% reduction in the Ki-67 index. At the same time, this index increased by 24% in the second group (with a normal diet). The results showed that a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids could slow cancer growth and delay the need for more attractive treatment.
What do the experts say?
Dr. William Aronson, a professor at UCLA and the lead author of the study, said that this research shows that with small changes in diet, the progression of cancer can be slowed. Many men are willing to make lifestyle changes to control their disease. This study is a ray of hope for them.
Which foods should be avoided?
Researchers also said that it is very important to stay away from foods rich in omega-6 fats such as fried snacks, biscuits, mayonnaise and processed foods.
The results of this research show that even in a serious disease like cancer, the adage 'you are what you eat' fits perfectly. Consuming superfoods like fish, olive oil and walnuts can slow down the growth of prostate cancer. However, scientists say that more in-depth research is still needed on this subject, but these results are definitely promising.
