2. Tomatoes

One of the best foods you can eat regularly is tomatoes, especially tomato sauce, paste, juice, and soup. Tomatoes are high in the phytonutrient and antioxidant lycopene. Many studies have found lycopene to enhance prostate health. Processed tomatoes are the highest in lycopene content.

The lycopene in tomatoes is associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer and a decline in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level. Tomatoes are considered natural cancer-killers with their many other antioxidants and high vitamin C levels. The great part about eating tomatoes is that you get all these benefits for very few calories.
