Ultimately, it is best to prevent prostate cancer from occurring at all. As the scientific community learns more about the causes and risk factors associated with cancer, the greater the likelihood there is that cancer can be prevented. Most cancers develop progressively over a long period of time – well before they create noticeable symptoms or are easily detected by a physician. This means that a cancer-healthy lifestyle must be sustained over a long period of time to be of value in preventing cancer from occurring. Some risk factors – such as race, family history or age -cannot be modified, while others, especially diet and weight, can be controlled. The Prostate Cancer Foundation suggests that men wanting to reduce their risk of prostate cancer eat fewer red meats and high-fat dairy products, eat five or more servings of vegetables and fruits each day, exercise regularly and maintain a normal weight. In addition, several large studies testing agents that might prevent prostate cancer are ongoing. Most notable are studies of vitamin E with selenium, and others evaluating the possibility that a class of drugs known as 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors (Proscar or Avodart) might prevent prostate cancer occurrence.

Brazil nuts are a good source for natural selenium. Take one a day. I believe there is a NIH study underway to ascertain if it is effective but taking one daily has reduced my PSA test result. Brazil nuts are usually available in a decent supermarket.
