Men should eat more carrots. According to the Daily Mail, A new study conducted by scholars from Zhejiang University found that regular consumption of brightly colored vegetables can affect men prostatic cancer The risk was reduced by nearly 1/5, especially for carrots. The study, published in the European Journal of Nutrition, showed that men who ate carrots at least three times a week were 18 percent less likely to develop prostate cancer.
Researchers gathered 10 small-scale studies from all over the world to investigate the anti-cancer effects of carrots. The analysis results show that eating carrots has a significant impact on reducing the incidence of prostate cancer. Even if the researchers consider other risk factors (such as obesity) that affect men's suffering from this disease, the above conclusions are still true.
Researchers believe that carrots contain a large amount of carotenoids, especially beta carotene and lycopene, which can reduce the damage to cells caused by oxidative stress, thus playing an anti-cancer role.
Note: Carrots cannot be served with wine and vegetables
Carrots are colourful and refreshing, and are usually good ingredients for dishes. However, when drinking, carrots cannot be used as food for drinking. The reason is that after wine and carrots are eaten together, the rich carotene contained in carrots will enter the human body together with alcohol, producing toxins in the liver, leading to liver disease.
