I know you fellas don't like talking about your prostate but as a girl whose daddy is suffering from prostate cancer it's something you NEED to hear.:heart:


How to Mind Your Multivitamins
http://www.realage.com/ct/tips/8555

Taking a multivitamin is a good way to fill in nutrition gaps. But for your prostate’s sake, take just one a day.

A new study showed that taking too many multivitamins -- more than seven a week -- could raise the risk of prostate cancer.

Supplement Surplus
In fact, taking too many multivitamins was worse for prostate health than taking none. More than seven doses a week bumped up prostate cancer risk by 32 percent over the men who didn’t take a multi. The risk was highest among men who also took selenium, beta carotene, or zinc -- another sign that bad things could come from a supplement surplus. Should you be screened for prostate cancer? Here are six things to consider.

Prostate Protection Made Perfect
In addition to not OD’ing on supplements, here are some other easy ways to protect your prostate:

* Ditch the burger and fries. A diet low in saturated fat keeps your prostate healthy.
* Take tea breaks. That’s right, extend that pinkie and sip yourself a cup of green tea for the sake of your man parts. .
* Yep, eat your veggies. All are good. But this particular group gives extra prostate protection.
