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.

Tiger Prawn Salad with Mango and Avocado

Ingredients for four people

24 raw tiger prawns, peeled and heads removed

Preparation

Step 1

Remove the veins of the prawns if needed.

Step 2

Remove the skin of the two mangoes and blend the flesh of one mango to a puree in a blender or any food processor and set aside. Now, dice the other mango and set aside too.

Step 3

Now, half and slice the two avocados. Arrange the slices beautifully around the outside of a small platter and drizzle the lemon juice over it.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan, and add the garlic and ginger and leave to cook for about 30 - 40 seconds. Add the prawns and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink. Make sure they are not overcooked.

Step 5

Drizzle with lime juice and remove the heat. Also remove the garlic and ginger from the frying pan and discard.

Step 6

Now, add the diced mango to the prawns and mix together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 7

Pile the prawns and mango onto the middle of the platter and sprinkle the parsley on the platter.

Benefits

Prawns are also a great source of selenium. As mentioned in previous post, selenium has been found through research to be very potent against cancer. There is a body of evidence to suggest that not only may a higher selenium intake reduce the risk of prostate cancer, it may also be able to suppress the spread of cancer outside the prostate.
Avocado is also a good source of Vitamin E with beneficial effects on the risk of various disorders such as heart disease and cancer.

Now, what are you waiting for? Add this to your diet to significantly improve your prostate health.
