Serve that man some broccoli

Categories: Diet & Weight Loss, Nutrition & Supplements, Men's Health


If you're of the male persuasion, you might want to serve yourself up some broccoli -- now. A new study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found that men who ate broccoli just once per week were 45 percent less likely to develop aggressive prostate cancer than who ate it less than once per month. Cauliflower might do the trick too -- it cuts the risk by 52 percent.

It's the compounds in these veggies that seem to protect cells from DNA damage and appear to slow the growth of cancer cells. A half a cup is all it takes.

A good reason to eat your vegetables, right guys?
