Prostate Cancer and Diet

  • A low-fat diet that consists primarily of vegetables, fruits, and grains may help reduce your risk for prostate cancer. The American Cancer Society recommends limiting high-fat foods from animal sources. Eat five or more servings of fruits and vegetables each day. Healthy food choices also include bread, cereals, rice, pasta, and beans.


  • Substances in foods, especially fruits and vegetables, called antioxidants help prevent damage to the DNA in the body's cells. Antioxidants are in foods such as tomatoes (raw or cooked), spinach, artichoke hearts, beans, berries (especially blueberries), grapefruit and oranges, and watermelons.
