Soy is a derivative of the familiar soybean which is known to benefit the health of a woman. However, recent research has proved that products derived from soy also help improve the prostate health of a man. Soy can be easily found in vegan and vegetarian dishes. Soy can be used with anything as it is extremely versatile and absorbs flavors of different foods easily. Soy can even emulate other foods. Burgers made from soy, soy cheese as well as other products made from soy taste exactly like poultry and meat. Moreover, soy is in its best form when consumed as soybean or tofu. This is due to the reason that soy has not been processed till that form.
You also have the option to buy genistein that is powdered form of soy. This is the most common chemical present in different soy products and also helps prevent cancer.

In order to prevent prostate cancer, you should also consume a lot of fruits. This might sound common sense but there are more scientific reasons to it. Fruits have their own sugar that has a positive effect on prostate gland. Fruits also contain lycopene that has other advantages. Lycopene is responsible for the red color in vegetables and fruits. So, the fruits those are redder in color have more lycopene. It has proven through experiment and research that lycopene rich vegetables and fruits reduce chances of cancer affecting prostate gland.
