Good news for guys, just in! Fish high in omega-3 fatty acids — such as salmon, tuna, mackerel and sardines — has been strongly linked to a decreased risk of developing prostate cancer.

The Harvard School of Public Health study, published in Clinical Cancer Research in the United States, examined the dietary habits of nearly 1000 men.

Those who ate five servings of fatty fish per week slashed their risk of developing prostate cancer by a staggering 63 percent. What is even more encouraging is that the finding was most noticeable among men who had a family history of the disease, which put them at greater risk to begin with.
