Micronutrients & recovery
Regular consumption of cruciferous vegetables (specifically broccoli) reduces the risk of prostate cancer progression.
Eat at least one portion of broccoli every week. This specific vegetable has been linked to reducing the progression of prostate cancer, likely due to its unique phytonutrients like glucoraphanin.
ModerateSupportsMEDIUM confidence
consumption of one or more portions of broccoli per week can reduce the incidence and the progression from localized to aggressive forms of prostrate cancer [38,39].
