You can prevent prostate disease with diet and exercise. Some of the most helpful foods include watermelon, cooked tomatoes, cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage, soy, fish, and nuts and seeds. Try some of these delicious recipes:

1 red bell pepper, sliced
3 cups chopped broccoli
1 small red onion, sliced
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
6 tbsp. tamari
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1/4 cup black sesame seeds
Combine oil, vinegar, tamari, and garlic.
Combine sprouts, pepper, broccoli, onions, and tomatoes in a large serving bowl.
Toss dressing with salad. Garnish with black sesame seeds.
Here’s a great recipe for all those yummy summer tomatoes. You can serve this soup hot or cold. From Mediterranean Light by Martha Rose Shulman.

Heat the oil in a soup pot; add onion and 1/2 of the garlic. Cook over medium heat 5 minutes; add tomatoes and the remaining garlic. Cook for 10 more minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the water, basil leaves, salt and pepper to taste, bring to simmer. Cover and simmer 15 minutes.
Remove from heat and puree in blender or food processor. If you are serving cold, add juice of 1/2 lemon. Garnish with the rest of the basil.
Fishing is a great way to get some sunshine, fresh air, exercise, and a tasty meal, too. This recipe for Baked Trout is from National Institutes of Health cookbook: Heart Healthy Latino Recipes.
