I may be a bit biased as I'm all about women and youth empowerment, (bare with me).  However I am totally in support of our men and their well-being as well, thus the reason for this post. So Guys, this one is for you. Ladies, tell your brothers, Uncles etc. Ladies, we also can eat more fish :)

I lost a Male family member to prostrate cancer a few years ago, and I am still struggling with the loss, so when I came across this article, I immediately wanted to share. These maybe little changes that men have to add to their diet that can make the difference later on in their lives. so please guys & Ladies, start eating more of this fish (Titus, as we call it) and do some exercises as well.

A diet rich in oily fish can significantly improve prostate cancer victims’ chances of surviving the disease, research shows.

The findings in the American Journal of Epidemiology revealed sufferers who regularly ate the highest amounts of omega-3 fish oil were between 34 and 40 per cent less likely to die from the disease, which kills 10,000 men every year in the UK.

The long-term study at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston also found the patients who consumed the highest amounts of saturated fats were twice as likely to die from their tumour as those who ate smaller amounts.

The US scientists tracked 525 men who had an average age of 70 and signed up to the study in 1989.

By last year, 222 had died from prostate cancer and 268 from other causes.

Nearly 40,000 cases of prostate cancer are diagnosed every year in the UK and 10,000 men die from it - the equivalent of more than one an hour.

The risks increase with age, with men over 50 more likely to develop a tumour, and there is a strong genetic element to it.

As with some other types of cancer, diet is thought to be a key factor in the development of the disease.
