6 foods that help shrink the prostate (slideshow)
1. Avocados
These fruits are among the few foods that provide a good amount of beta-sitosterol, a substance that has been shown to help reduce prostate inflammation, according to a Cochrane review. One study, for example, evaluated 177 men with an enlarged prostate. The participants took 130 mg of beta-sitosterol daily for six months.

Among the other foods that are a good source of beta-sitosterol are amaranth, cilantro, pecans, pumpkin seeds, soybeans, and wheat germ.
