Yes, it's possible to prevent prostate cancer. While I can't guarantee that EVERYONE can prevent the condition following these tips, I am very certain that MORE people can prevent it. This is because not every person is the same and what works for one person might not work for another. But MAJORITY of the cancer experts agree that the following tips can HELP in preventing the condition somewhat.

Although prostrate cancer can occur in men under the age of fifty it is extremely rare. When it does occur under age 50 some doctors feel it may be related to DNA genes from the family or an abnormal problem with the testosterone hormone. Just because it is a rare occurrence in men under 50, this doesn't mean that you can't start preparing yourself to fight off prostrate illness early in your life.

Exercises help to keep us generally healthy and can help to somewhat prevent prostate cancer. This also hasn't been 100% proven, but it helps to always engage in some form of "activity" at least a couple of times each week. Does it hurt if we do this to preserve our general health? Of course not. It will surely help clean out our systems generally.

Engage in lots of exercises: Lots of people get so busy that they don't even have any time to exercise. This is very counterproductive and can lead not general ill-health. Make it a habit of engaging in some form of exercise at least thrice or more times each week. This can also help in preventing not only prostate cancer but other illnesses as well.

By adopting good quality Prostate Health supplements that include Vitamin E and selenium you may assist in preventing or at least promoting a greatly decreased risk of prostate cancer. In studies both Selenium and Vitamin E seem to benefit patients who had a deficiency in either, as well as those who were ex smokers.

Surgery, called a radical prostatectomy, removes the entire prostate gland and some of the surrounding tissues. Since prostate tumors require testosterone to grow, reducing the testosterone level is used to prevent further growth and spread of the cancer. What you can do now is begin to understand what exactly your treatment options are and where you're going to begin.

A diet that is high on lycopene is known to be an excellent preventative against prostate enlargement and prostate cancer. You can take lycopene supplements, but studies in recent years have shown that it is more effective to consume tomatoes, which are rich in the lycopene that gives the tomato its red hue.

Those with proven family history of cancer should be careful with prostate cancer. If you reach the age of 40, you must undergo annual screening tests and consultations with specialists on a regular basis. This will allow you to monitor cancer cells at its early stages of development, which can be easily cured compared to cancer at advanced stage.

Used sensibly, catching the sun can be of immense benefit. Research into men living in the sunniest states in the US, found a 32% lower prostate cancer risk. The explanation appears to lie in Vitamin D, which we obtain from the sun. If worried about possible side effects to your skin get your Vitamin D from Cod Liver oil instead.

Another good guideline is to eat organic whenever possible. Organic foods are free of pesticides, chemicals, preservatives, and hormones that are common contaminants of most foods sold in grocery stores. Try to stick to unprocessed, raw foods whenever it is feasible to do so, and drink filtered or distilled water whenever possible.
