Healthy Eating and Prostate Cancer Blog
Many Small Meals a day—that’s how I try to eat. Rather than sitting down to three squares a day, and experiencing the highs and lows that often accompany this style of eating, I try to eat 5 or 6 small meals a day. The result is that my energy remains constant throughout the day, and my weight remains stable—and it’s even possible to drop a few pounds—as long as I pay attention to portion control. As the weather gets warmer, I turn to salads as a way to “graze” through the day. However, when it comes to salads, the trick is to make sure that I get enough protein, since I include no meat, and only fish from time to time. The soybean salad on this page is the perfect way to add non-animal protein to my diet. There is also the added benefit of isoflavones, which are found in soybeans and other legumes.

By Simon J. Hall, M.D., Director, Deane Prostate Health & Research Center, Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, New York
When a man is initially diagnosed with prostate cancer, it is a disturbingly personal experience, associated with feelings of vulnerability, fear, and loneliness. For many men, this is the first time that their own mortality has come into view. In my experience, most patients are overwhelmed with these feelings of being alone, and they want to retreat and face their disease in private, even though friends and family may offer support. While dealing with these psychological issues, newly diagnosed patients at the same time must wrestle with the often difficult decision as to what is the best treatment: watchful waiting, radical prostatectomy, or the latest advances in radiation therapy and seed implantation. read more... |
