Well ladies, many men don't like to deal openly with prostate issues because it impacts their manhood and, well, there is the issue of that digital rectal exam (whew!). It is one of those troubling topics for men, which may explain why many men still don't get a prostate exam. Unfortunately, many men die from prostate cancer.

Men will have to deal with prostate problems at some point. So ladies, if you are involved in a relationship with a man, this problem will effect you as well. While doctors suggest that men have their prostates checked regularly after the age of 45, it is never too early to choose the types of food that are most beneficial to the prostate. As usual, men need assistance (jk) and your help in ensuring that your partner gets the right nutrition will go a long way!

Since many women make dinner or specials meals for men, providing the foods mentioned in the next several sections are ways that you can help him get the proper prostate nutrition. The key is to be sensitive when discussing this topic and, if necessary, to introduce these foods gradually and in the most appetizing ways.
