Hi. This is Mark and Steve from TheDVCC.com and today, we’re going to give you another actionable tip about prostate cancer.
Mark: Now, even if you’re a lady, I don’t want you to switch off, I want you to forward this video onto every male that you know because it’s very, very important. It’s one of the most quickest rising, if that makes sense, forms of cancer in men. So we really want to work hard at reducing it. So another tip is…
How Many Processed Meat Do You Eat?
Stephen: Well, I was going to say a risk factor, which is actually the amount of processed meats that you actually have. So think about in your everyday diet, how much in the way of processed meats you have. Things like salamis, bacons, and really processed sausages, things like that, how much do you have everyday, because that’s a risk factor for prostate cancer. Mark: So if you’re going for Tesco value all the time for your meats and things, then you’re going to really try to switch up and I know people say it’s the cost, ‘I can’t get expensive meats.’ But unfortunately, you do generally get what you pay for. So you want to forego with that take-away, forego with that subscription, whatever it is, to enable you to get the better quality meat because, believe me in our experience, all of that kind of stuff pales in comparison to health and being able to live a long and healthy life. If you start subscription just so you can afford good meat, then do it.
Stephen: There’s not much on it anymore, is there?
Mark: Ah exactly.
Mark: We should just finish, so you got no reason to get it anyway.
What is “Highest Quality” Meat?
Stephen: One of the biggest things you can do to actually minimize your risk would be to make sure that any meat that you do have is of the highest quality. So ideally, in an ideal world, you have grass-fed beef, things basically animals that being fed on their natural, the natural occurring food and stuff they’re supposed to eat.
Mark: So just to cut in there, basically cows are fed on corn generally and fed on other things, but it’s not designed to. It’s naturally-designed to eat grass, right? The cows that are on the field usually eat grass, but because that is a slower process in terms of fattening them up to be able to then sell them all to be slaughtered and to be eaten, farmers feed them man-made foods basically and the animals get sick. Stephen: And also antibiotics, they give them a lot of antibiotics.
Mark: Basically because they get sick, they give them antibiotics to keep them alive, until they’re fat enough to be slaughtered and then eaten. So that is why you want to eat high-quality meat that are being fed the food that they’re designed to be fed, because they’re not going to be full of antibiotics, which the antibiotics are going to have an effect on you and your body, a carcinogenic effect, so basically detrimental effect to your health and that’s the whole point in it.
The Type of Meat You’re Eating Will Have Their Effect
Stephen: So yeah, when we’re talking about minimizing the amount of bacon and things like that, you shouldn’t be having those everyday. You shouldn’t be having a full processed fry-up everyday because that as the study shows actually increase your risk of prostate cancer. So just have an audit, basically audit the amount of the type of meat you are having and make sure that they’re as natural and as good quality as possible because that will go a long way to actually making you healthier.
Mark: So I hope you got some good long tip there. This is Mark and Steve from TheDVCC.com
