Concerned about prostate health? According to recent research at the Duke Prostate Centre, you may want to adopt a low-carb lifestyle.

Researchers compared prostate tumour growth in 75 mice that were eating either a low-carbohydrate diet, a low-fat but high-carbohydrate diet, or a diet that was high in both fat and carbohydrates. At the end of the study, they found that the mice eating the low-carbohydrate diet had the longest survival and smallest tumours.

Both the low-carb and the low-fat mice had lower levels of insulin. But only the low-carb mice had reduced levels of a type of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) that is capable of stimulating tumour growth.

Put the processed, high-carb foods aside. Instead, fill your plate with a variety of fresh, seasonal vegetables. Complement your veggies with wild seafood and grass-fed organic meats, which are naturally low in insulin-elevating fast-carbs and packed with nutrients.
