Improve Your Prostate Health with These 10 Steps

3. Vitamin D

There also appears to be a link between vitamin D and prostate health. Research indicates that men with the lowest vitamin D levels have the highest risks of prostate cancer. Men with prostate cancer who have healthy levels of vitamin D have less aggressive cancers and are less likely to die from the disease.

More research is needed to understand how to apply this information to prevention and treatment, but doctors recommend getting vitamin D from food instead of supplements or the sun. Try fatty fish and fortified milk and cereals, and only use supplements as needed.
