Men who eat these three dishes often live longer and prevent cancer
Most men scoff at vegetables and fruits, considering them "feminine" foods, and prefer to call themselves carnivores. However, the latest report from the British Food Research Institute indicates that eating a small amount of broccoli every week can help prevent prostate cancer.
1. Broccoli
The participants in this study were divided into two groups, each consuming four servings of broccoli or peas per week. The results showed that the group eating broccoli had "cancer-fighting genes" in their bodies, which can protect men from prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in men, second only to lung cancer. Every year, 680,000 people worldwide are unfortunately diagnosed with this disease, and 220,000 die from it. In addition to broccoli, other cruciferous vegetables such as cauliflower and purple cabbage also have anti-cancer effects, so men should eat more of them.
2. Tomatoes
It is worth mentioning that tomatoes are also a good vegetable and fruit that men should not miss. Not only do they contain rich vitamin C, but the lycopene in tomatoes also helps "clear" the glands and prevent prostate diseases.
3. Spinach
In addition, men should also learn from "Popeye" and eat more spinach. The trace element magnesium in spinach can convert carbohydrates in muscles into usable energy, which can increase male muscle strength. Of course, for men, the most significant advantage of spinach is that folate and iron can promote the synthesis of red blood cells, improve the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood, accelerate blood circulation, and fundamentally improve the quality of male sexual life.
Apart from these, what are the common misconceptions about men's diet?
What food is good for men's longevity and cancer prevention?
4. Three major misconceptions about men's diet
1. A meal is not satisfying without meat
Almost all men prefer animal fats. Bob, who lives in Chicago, told reporters that even the most tempting fruit pie cannot compare to an ordinary steak in terms of arousing his appetite. However, in reality, red meat like steak may increase the risk of cancer.
2. Drinking alcohol must be done to the fullest
In China, drinking alcohol is mostly for socializing. Everyone knows that drinking alcohol is not good, and getting drunk is even worse. However, these days, nothing can be accomplished in the business world without drinking. I almost drink to the point of unconsciousness every day. Regardless of the reason for drinking, according to statistics from American experts, the average lifespan of heavy drinkers is about 15 years shorter than that of non-drinkers.
3. Only eat three meals a day and strictly resist snacks
Unlike women, most men are not fond of snacks. This may not be a bad thing, but unfortunately, men tend to eat each meal to the point of being completely full. This not only makes them prone to obesity but also increases cholesterol levels. French nutrition expert Jenkins said that French people are slim because they have at least four meals a day, while people in northern Europe only eat three meals a day: a hearty breakfast, lunch, and dinner at 6 o'clock in the evening, so they are obese.
