The land that brings us giant pandas, the Great Wall, and amazing cuisine also serves up a mean cup of prostate protection.

Yep, green tea -- long touted by the Chinese for its medicinal benefits -- could cut a man's risk of advanced prostate cancer by half. How much do you need to drink?

More Protection
In a study, men who drank 5 or more cups of green tea per day had half the risk of advanced prostate cancer compared with men who sipped less than a cup a day. Another way to keep the prostate healthy: Avoid a diet high in saturated fat and include plenty of fruits and veggies in your diet. (Does your diet measure up?
