Elevated Risk of Prostate Cancer

SEX PROBABLY won’t kill you, but your sex gland can.
Fortunately, US Harvard researchers found that men with the highest
levels of selenium had a 48 per cent lower incidence of advanced
prostate cancer than those with the lowest intakes.

THE FIX: eat three Brazil nuts every day. That’ll provide you with
200mcg of selenium, the exact amount you need to keep your prostate
cancer at rock-bottom levels.

Mushrooms also help: half a cup of the cooked fungi – specifically, brown
and portobello – contains more than 35mcg or nearly 20 per cent of the
amount you need each day.
