Foods To Avoid

All I can say is the Greek dictum… "moderation in all things" coupled with cardio, core and strength training in that sequence. Also fewer calories are better than more for a long life/

Well, I am 61 yrs old and had a father who was diagnosed at a young age so I have been having once, and more recently, twice a year PSA's along with checkups for ten years or more. PSA has been slowly but steadily rising the past few yrs and an MRI just highlighted a small area of concern. Biopsy has not taken place yet so nothing is confirmed.

Thanks, Peter. I do know most is low risk, and hopefully if I am diagnosed active surveillance will be sufficient for now. Though my father, who was diagnosed at an age younger than I am now, was already advanced when diagnosed. Part of the reason that as much as I read how PSA's are overused now, I've known they were necessary for me.

If you could share about your father, but would totally understand otherwise...

After treatment, I'm trying to go vegan myself.
I do take a calcium supplement for bone health.
I don't avoid seeds.
Dr Dean Ornish had an early trial of vegetarianism plus egg white where PSA levels seemed to be stable.
Dr Meyers recommends Mediteranian diet.
Some here take pomegranate, green tea, broccoli and turmeric / curcumin. (Pom-t)
Good luck.

Why vitamin c and omega3. or are you referring to supplements of such, not naturally occurring?

Andrew,

I agree, but is beer a food?

Hi Works Out, and welcome. I’d like to start out my reply by echoing two points make by PeterDisAbelard: First, we DO have lots of guys with theories on what you should and shouldn’t eat, and other guys who simply think it doesn’t matter what you eat.   Be prepared to hear from all, and deal accordingly... Second, “diet plays a role but is secondary.”   You probably won’t make many cancers go away by changing your diet & lifestyle, but most of the world’s leading experts in prostate cancer DO all have diet & lifestyle changes as a part of their patient programs...this fact is very telling.   The way I look at it is that every little bit helps (or hurts).   There is a “sticky” thread at the top of the page titled, “ Newly diagnosed with PC? – read this thread first .”   You should read it.   about half way down, there is an entry with a list of 16 or more links.   There are two specifically on PC and diet/nutrition; both are free downloads: ·          “ Nutrition and Prostate Cancer ” published by the very highly respected UCSF, and ·          “ Nutrition, Exercise and Prostate Cancer ” published by the Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF)   What you will find is that there are foods which “fight” cancer, and foods that “feed” cancer.   I also suggest the book, “Anticancer.   A New Way of Life” for even greater detail.

If your really want to go whole-hog into dietary considerations, particularly as put forth by the anti-aging and anti-cancer promoters, it can be a full-time job keeping up with what you should/should not consume, and you may need to take out a second mortgage on your house.

Meh...it could, but then again, it doesn't have to. 

Read the materials in the links, and you will realize this.

So o guess it's a bad thing, but I can't imagine living my life from here on without a good steak say once a month, or once every few weeks.
I love re meat but limit it. But a good steak at peter Luger or Mortons once in a while makes my life fun

No to cheese, milk, eggs or red meat. Easy for me as I use to work for large Ag company and the production methods on such foods are pretty sketchy to me anyway....

Limit sugar. A Med. diet seems to be good, as I think I read those people have low instances of cancer.

Yes to broccoli, fruit.

I heard that several cheeses like Gouda and others containing K2 are actually good. I found a certain fast food restaurant that displays a big red hat has an excellent veggie rap, I add sauer kraut just to be naughty. Silk almond milk seems to be doing good on my diet.
