Snips and snails, and puppy dogs tails, that’s what little boys are made of. As the rhyme goes, adventurous and

tough little boys grow into strong men. And even with a strong exterior, we know the interior still needs to be

nurtured.

As men age, risks of cancer, heart disease and stroke also increase. Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed

cancer among Canadian men. In 2015, it was estimated that over 3,800 men in B.C. were diagnosed. Fortunately,

if caught early, these numbers could be significantly lower.

So how do you decrease your risk? Choosing a variety of natural, unprocessed foods, staying active and achieving

or maintaining a healthy body weight can all play a role. As well, including foods rich in lycopene and selenium

and watching your calcium intake may also lower your risk.
