Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) - acts as a natural anti-inflammatory.
Lycopene - In a study of over 40,000 health professionals, Harvard investigators found that men who ate more than 10 servings tomato-based foods daily (like cooked tomatoes and tomato sauce,) had a 35 percent lower risk of developing prostate cancer than those who ate the least amount of these foods. The benefits of lycopene was more pronounced with advanced stages of prostate cancer. Try eating processed tomatoes, they work best (ketchup, tomato sauces).
Avoid alcohol and excess diary consumption.
Add selenium to your diet. Men with high blood levels of selenium were about half as likely to develop advanced prostate cancer as the men with lower blood selenium.

Take saw palmetto berry extract. Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) helps inhibit conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a substance that adversely affects prostate health. I recommend 160 mg of extract twice daily.
Include more soy in your diet. Some researchers now believe that the increasing estrogen-to-testosterone ratio is one of the factors that adversely affects the size of the prostate gland.

Because soy has been found to restore the proper estrogen-to-testosterone ratio that becomes skewed as men get into their 60s and beyond, I recommend you include 2 ounces of soy in your diet per day.

Good sources of soy include: tofu (soybean curd)
fermented soy products like miso and tempeh
roasted soy nuts
soy flour or powder

Include at least 15 mg of zinc once a day. Pumpkin seeds (in the shell) are excellent sources of zinc and the essential fatty acids necessary for healthy prostate function.
