6 foods that help shrink the prostate (slideshow)
5. Tomatoes
To reap the most lycopene, a prostate-reducing compound found in tomatoes, be sure you choose tomatoes that have been cooked. Tomato paste, tomato soup, and tomato sauce, for example, are better sources of lycopene than fresh tomatoes (although they have phytonutrients too). Evidence has shown that lycopene can help men who have BPH and lower the blood level of antigen, a protein associated with BPH and prostate inflammation.
Other sources of lycopene include apricots, papaya, pink grapefruit, and watermelon.
