“anti-angiogenesis.” “Many common foods contain
cancer-starving molecules,” Li contin- ues. “Anti-angiogenesis encourages that. By changing the way you eat, you can change your internal environment, thereby depriving cancer cells the op- portunity to grow and multiply.” Li and his colleagues continue to monitor the results of other studies while continuing their own research showing the positive effects of certain foods in slowing or preventing the growth and spread of cancer cells. One seminal study, published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute in 2002, established the link between eating cooked tomato products and a lowered risk of prostate cancer. “Cooked tomatoes… have more cancer-fighting properties than raw tomatoes,” advises Li. “Both contain the mole- cule lycopene, but heating the tomato changes its chemical structure and makes the benefits more readily available to the body. You should eat two to three [½ cup] servings of cooked toma- toes a week.” The Angiogenesis
Foundation provides a base list of 40 natural foods that contain cancer- preventing properties. New foods are added as their benefits are proved in research. The newest additions for fighting prostate cancer—Emmental, Jarlsburg and gouda cheeses—are rich in vitamin K2.

drinks, green tea and herbal tea blends that include anti-angiogenic ginseng, lavender and licorice root work to hydrate the body and prevent disease, according to researchers at The Angio- genesis Foundation. A glass or two of red wine, which contains the cancer fighting, anti-in- flammatory compound resveratrol, can be good for men. “My own advice to folks is about one drink a day,” coun- seled Butler. “The older you get, the heavier the impact of the alcohol. But in moderation, alcohol not only has a relaxing effect, it can elevate levels of good choles- terol.
Engaging in close, loving and romantic relationships and staying in touch with lots of friends not only increases the quality of men’s lives, but also helps battle depression and heart disease, suggests Dr. Mehmet Oz, a professor of cardiac surgery at Columbia University and a founder of the Comple- mentary Medicine Program at New York- Presbyterian Hospital. He frequently appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show before becoming host of The Dr. Oz Show.
According to Oz, “The more sex Maintaining good hydration by
drinking water also helps kidneys filter impurities out of the body and keeps skin looking fresher.
BE MERRY. The very things that come with being social are good for everyone’s health. According to Butler, simple touching, such as holding hands with and hug- ging a loved one, works to lower blood pressure. Laughing with buddies helps keep blood vessels from restricting, and thus keeps the heart working more efficiently. Hav- ing an eye for beauty in our surrounding adds pleasure to life and helps keep us in a good mood.

Men who have sex once a month are at more than two times the risk of heart disease and heart attack than men who have sex twice a week.” Complementing such healthy excitement, establishing a daily meditation practice also helps men stay calm, energetic, positive and
