Prostate cancer is a problem in the African American community.
African American men have the highest diagnosis rates of any race in the United States. It often starts earlier, affecting black men in their late 30s and 40s, and tends to be more aggressive in African American males than other ethnicities. Scientists aren’t sure why.
Alongside regular prostate exams, a healthy diet can help to prevent cancer from developing in the prostate. Here are 5 foods that are well known prostate cancer fighters:

Tomatoes

Broccoli

Green Tea

Legumes

Pomegranate Juice
Studies have found that drinking 8 ounces of pomegranate juice can reduce the PSA levels in the system. PSA stands for Prostate Specific Antigen and their reduction often indicates that the cancer has stopped progressing. Research suggests that the antioxidants in pomegranate, like those found in broccoli, seek and destroy cancer cells without harming the healthy prostate cells.
