Prostate Care Diet for Today : Pea and Mint Soup [Post #6]

Hello Steemitsonians, today, I continue on this Prostate Care Diet for Today blog looking at food and diets that can significantly help improve, prostate health. Like I have always said, this is not for men only, it is also for women who want to do more to help their spouses have their prostate situation under control. I have been reading quite a bit on this, particularly the book "Healthy Eating: The Prostate Care Cookbook" and my findings will be posted on this blog.

The prostate is that part of every man that needs proper monitoring to prevent the development of prostate cancer. The lower the Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) level in the blood, the better for the health of the prostate. Although there isn't a specific normal or abnormal level of PSA in the blood, but most doctors have in the past considered PSA levels of 4.0 ng/mL and lower as being normal. Proper care is needed to maintain these levels.

Benefits

This colorful pea and mint soup is a healthy treat you can enjoy for lunch. Pea and mint soup is a rich source of legumes particularly soya. There is a body of evidence which suggests that legumes as a whole and soya products in particular can help fight prostate cancer. Legumes, particularly soya, contain high levels of plant phytochemicals called phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens have been identified as being able to help fight and protect against prostate cancer.

So, what are you waiting for? Incorporate this into your diet and significantly improve your prostate health.
