Did you know about 50% of men between fifty and sixty have microscopic cancer in their prostate? Most of these tumors never become dangerous—but some do. What makes the difference? Blood supply.

In today’s YouTube episode we dive into 1. the science of prostate cancer, 2. how tumors manipulate blood vessels to fuel their growth, and 3. how certain foods can help cut off their supply.

Let’s kick things off with a question!

🍅 Lycopene and Prostate Cancer Prevention (12:09)

Did you know that a simple kitchen staple like tomato sauce could help lower your risk of prostate cancer? Lycopene, a natural compound found in tomatoes, watermelon, and guava, is a powerful anti-angiogenic nutrient—meaning it helps cut off the blood supply that feeds tumors. A 25-year study of 49,000 men found that those who ate cooked tomatoes two to three times per week had a 29% lower risk of developing prostate cancer.

🌰 Nuts for Prostate Health (14:30)

A handful of nuts a day might be doing more for your health than you realize. Tree nuts—walnuts, pecans, almonds, and cashews—contain plant-based omega-3 fatty acids, which also have anti-angiogenic properties. Research shows that men who ate one serving of nuts per day had a 31% lower risk of developing prostate cancer. But not all nuts are created equal—skip the pre-seasoned, heavily salted, or sugar-coated varieties. Raw or dry-roasted nuts give you all the health benefits without the added oils, sodium, or artificial flavorings.

🏃 Exercise, Inflammation & Cancer Defense (22:45)

Exercise does more than keep you fit—it’s a powerful defense against cancer. Regular movement lowers inflammation, strengthens immunity, and helps your body starve tumors by cutting off their blood supply. That’s one big reason why staying active is linked to a lower risk of prostate cancer and better overall health. Even small daily habits add up—what’s one way you can move your body today?

Health care starts at home—don’t just rely on doctors, take proactive steps with food and lifestyle choices. Tune in to see how:
