Leafy vegetables such as spinach and turnip greens, dried beans and peas, fortified cereal products, sunflower seeds and certain other fruits and vegetables are rich sources of folate.

Try out this Kale, Sausage & Lentil Skillet Supper recipe. A serving already covers 79% of the daily value!

Garlicky Kale Recipe

Patients were taught to increase consumption of plant-based foods such as whole grains, cruciferous and leafy green vegetables, beans and legumes, and fruit, and to decrease the intake of meat, dairy products and refined carbohydrates. They were also provided with stress management training, which included meditation, yoga and t’ai chi exercises.

By the end of the study, four out of 10 patients had reduced PSA levels, and nine of 10 experienced a decrease in the rate of further PSA rise.

On the photo is Dr. Gordon Saxe, the lead author of the study, holding kale, a kind of cabbage, which has been documented to have anti-cancer properties.

Want to incorporate kale into your diet? Try one of these seven kale recipes from around the world. There are deep-frozen chopped kale available in the market (for lazy cooks like me, I guess), but am not sure they’d work as well as fresh ones for prostate cancer.
