Prostate cancer is a common form of disease that develops in a gland found in male reproductive system. The number of people suffering from prostate cancer is commonly found all around the world but the United State holds the highest percentage when it comes to this type of cancer.
Prostate cancer is a type of disease that is grown slowly in the male body and it is usually not fatal. However, prostate cancer does kill with enough frequency when certain precautions are not taken. Some men may want to reduce the risk of developing prostate cancer and ultimately give way to it. But what’s need to be done?
While fish is known to have many health benefits, including cutting the risk of heart disease and stroke, the question of whether it could protect against prostate cancer has been "a bit controversial".
A new review of medical literature suggested that consumption of high amount of Hake fish product such as fillet of fish may not protect men from developing cancer but it could reduce the risk of dying from this disease.
They also found that men who ate more fish fillet were 44 percent less likely to develop metastatic prostate cancer. That means the disease that had spread beyond the prostate gland. Higher fish fillet consumption was also associated with a 63 percent lower risk of dying from the disease.
Research has also shown that the omega-3 found in fish species reduce the progression of cancer cells. Some species of fish such as hake fish contain a great quantity of omega-3 fats, mainly in the form of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
Fish is known to have many health benefits including the risk of getting stroke and heart disease. Fish products such as fish fillet are highly recommended for consumption as it helps us from developing many types of cancer.
As a recommendation, we suggest men should choose eating fish fillets more often as it could have a major positive impact in public health.
