Experts advise the elderly men with slow-growing prostate cancer who have decided to wait rather than go through radiation and chemotherapy to incorporate more tomatoes and broccoli into their diets. The two joined together adds to different bioactive compounds and work on separate anticancer pathways.
The study author says that to get the anticancer effects, men should consume 1.4 cups of raw broccoli and 2.5 cups of fresh tomato daily. Also the study author says that cooked tomatoes may be better than raw tomatoes. Chopping and heating make the cancer-fighting constituents of tomatoes and broccoli more bioavailable.
