Endocrinologist named New Year's dishes that help in the prevention of prostate cancer

Maria Kaloshina, an endocrinologist at Vidnovo Clinical Hospital, called salad with tomatoes on the New Year's table useful for the prevention of prostate cancer.

In a conversation with Radio 1 on December 26, the specialist noted that dishes with cheese, cucumbers and pomegranate grains are also useful.

Kaloshina explained that tomatoes are a source of lycopene - antioxidants, especially useful for men in preventing the development of prostate cancer. Cucumbers contain a lot of potassium, which in excess compensates for the trace element lost with alcohol, reports 360.ru.

Cheese, according to the doctor, accelerates metabolism. It also contains bacteria that improve the intestinal microflora. This contributes to the removal of toxins from the body. Pomegranate has a lot of tannins, which prevents poisoning. Nuts and seeds provide essential fatty acids that strengthen the immune system.

The doctor added that avocado is especially useful for women. It helps to smooth wrinkles, moisturize and improve skin elasticity.

Earlier on December 27, the Federal Medical and Biological Agency (FMBA) of the Russian Federation reported the registration of a new Russian drug "Rakurs (223Ra)" for the treatment of prostate cancer. As the Moscow city news agency notes , it destroys metastases in bones, giving a man diagnosed with prostate cancer the opportunity to prolong his life against the background of the disease. The result of such treatment is a highly localized antitumor effect.

In addition, radium-223 affects the pain syndrome and makes it possible to refuse the use of painkillers, writes NSN.
