NO MEAT A plant-based diet involves fruits, veggies, whole grains, beans, and legumes (Photo by Natasa Mandic) Although seldom discussed among Asian men due to its low incidence compared to Caucasians, prostate cancer and its devastating effects should not be taken lightly. This walnut-shaped gland is part of the male reproductive system. It produces the whitish fluid known as seminal fluid that nourishes and transports sperm. Early detection and intervention are key to a successful prostate cancer treatment. This type of cancer among men grows slowly but there are some cases when the cancer is rather aggressive. Difficulty urinating, weak urine flow, blood in the urine or semen, erectile dysfunction, unexplained weight loss, and bone pain are some of the common signs and symptoms of prostate cancer.
