5. Snack on Brazil nuts
While Brazil nuts have countless benefits, they are best known for being rich in selenium. A study conducted at Harvard University found out approximately 1,000 individuals with prostate cancer who consumed rich sources of selenium every day were 48 percent less likely to develop advanced stages of the disease.
Another astonishing study conducted at the University of Arizona and Cornell University discovered that only 200 micrograms of selenium per day, or in other words, two Brazil nuts, could minimize the risk of developing prostate cancer by 63 percent.
However, most experts recommend getting your selenium intake from foods, not from supplements, as some studies suggest that selenium supplements could actually increase prostate cancer risk.
