March is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, making it the perfect time to focus on diet and lifestyle choices that can help protect and support prostate health. Research shows that what we eat plays a significant role in reducing the risk of prostate issues, including cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
That’s why we’re sharing our Prostate Protection Tomato and Herb Soup, which is not only packed with lycopene, an antioxidant found in cooked tomatoes that may help protect the prostate, but also zinc-rich pumpkin seeds, known for their role in reducing an enlarged prostate.
This vibrant soup is the perfect dish for early spring – light yet satisfying, rich in nutrients, and bursting with fresh, immune-boosting ingredients. Here’s why it’s a must-make recipe:
Tomatoes – a top source of lycopene, linked to prostate health and reduced cancer risk
Pumpkin seeds – contain zinc and phytosterols, essential for prostate and bladder health
Garlic and onions – known for their anti-inflammatory and immune-supporting properties
Carrots and celery – provide fibre, antioxidants, and essential vitamins for overall wellness
Herbs and tahini – add depth of flavour while offering healthy fats and additional micronutrients
The power of a prostate-friendly diet
A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and healthy fats has been shown to help protect against prostate disease and may slow the progression of existing conditions. Studies suggest that reducing processed foods, red meat, and high-fat dairy while increasing plant-based nutrients and antioxidants can significantly benefit prostate health.
