Research from UC San Francisco reveals that men with localized prostate cancer can lower the risk of disease progression by 47% by adopting a plant-based diet rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and olive oil. Over 2,000 participants showed that increased consumption of plant-based foods and reduced intake of animal products could significantly enhance health outcomes and potentially delay or prevent the advancement of prostate cancer.
According to new research from UC San Francisco, men with prostate cancer may significantly lower the risk of their disease progressing by increasing their intake of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and olive oil. This amounted to eating just one or two more servings per day of healthy foods, particularly vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, while eating fewer animal products, like dairy and meat. The study followed the men, whose median age was 65 years old, over time to see how dietary factors affected the progression of their cancer.
“These results could guide people to make better, more healthful choices across their whole diet, rather than adding or removing select foods,” said Vivian N. Liu, formerly lead clinical research coordinator at the UCSF Osher Center for Integrative Health and first author of the study, which appears in“Progressing to advanced disease is one of many pivotal concerns among patients with prostate cancer, their family, caregivers, and physicians,” she said.
