Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Take vitamin E and selenium everyday. Taking a multivitamin or foods enriched with these two minerals can significantly maintain prostate health. These two minerals work by strengthening and preventing the inflammation that causes an enlarged prostate. If your prostate becomes enlarged, this enlargement can later turn into cancer. If you don't know what foods contain vitamin E and selenium or how much to take, please consult your doctor.

2. Ask your doctor about phytoestrogens. These plant estrogens which are abundant in soy proteins can promote good prostate health. These substances work by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone. The use of phytoestrogens have not been widely studied for this purpose. You are advised to thoroughly discuss the capabilities of this supplement with your doctor before you start taking it.

3. Partake in the consumption of cruciferous vegetables (broccoli and cauliflower). Eating these vegetables can also enhance prostate health. Cruciferous vegetables contain vitamin A and other crucial vitamins and minerals. You are recommended to eat at least 2-4 servings of these vegetables and others like it every day. If you have questions about other vegetables or supplements that contain the same minerals as the cruciferous vegetables, ask your doctor for assistance.
