Many
men in the United States are becoming more concerned about
their prostate health as statistics show that one in six will be
diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime.
Many men, especially those over the age of 45, are becoming more
concerned about their prostate health. In fact, one in six men in the United
States will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime. Protecting
and preserving prostate health is no small feat, however, many options exist
today that can promote prostate health without a multitude of unpleasant and
unnecessary side effects. For instance, a new study shows that simply walking
can greatly benefit prostate health. Exercise has long been shown to promote
vitality, especially since it boosts the immune system, but this new study
shows that walking at a brisk or vigorous pace inhibited unhealthy prostate
conditions by up to 61 percent!
The experiment studied 1,455 men with prostate cancer. Erin L. Richman,
MD, of the Harvard School of Public Health and fellow researchers found that
men who walked briskly for three hours per week or more, had a 57 percent lower
rate of progression than men who walked at a leisurely pace for less than three
hours a week. They also found that men who exercised more vigorously
experienced a 61 percent decrease in death from prostate cancer. Dr Richman
concluded that the results, “...suggest significant clinical benefits of brisk
walking for men....” The researchers observed that many men battling prostate cancer
may not engage in much exercise. However, as many studies continue to show,
simply moving the body enough to get your heart rate up, as occurs with
walking, is highly beneficial and may actually help to fight prostate cancer,
as well as other types of cancer.
When we exercise, even for a short time, a wealth of positive reactions
occurs within the body. But the benefits of exercise aren’t just physical. They
are also mental, emotional and even spiritual. Mind-body exercises, such as
yoga or Tai-chi, can help to relieve stress, anxiety and occasional depression
associated with illness, as well as providing a good workout! Learn about these

Common-sense strategies for cancer prevention, such as eating
vegetables and exercising, are still some of the most effective tools we have
to take control of our own health. Take care of yourself by nourishing your
body with natural ingredients. Nature offers us not only sustenance, but
powerful compounds now recognized by science to promote health, such as
antioxidants and polyphenols. Today, more and more doctors are recommending
natural ingredients found in plants, herbs, and some vegetables that can
greatly support prostate
health.
Herbal supplements that contain scientifically-researched nutrients,
medicinal mushrooms, minerals, and botanicals from both traditional herbal
medicine and modern western medicine are highly effective for improving
prostate health and preventing the onset of cancer. Key natural extracts proven
to support prostate health include a highly bio-available form of turmeric
root, saw palmetto berry, grape skin, pomegranate, pumpkin seed, pygeum bark,
sarsaparilla root, green tea, Japanese knotweed, and stinging nettle. Another
powerful ingredient for promoting prostate health is 3,3'-diinodolymethane
(DIM). DIM is the biologically active ingredient derived from broccoli and
research has demonstrated its benefits on cellular health and hormone balance.
DIM promotes the excretion of both excess estrogen and xenoestrogens (potent
estrogen-like compounds which are of special concern in prostate health). In
addition, antioxidants and nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin D3, selenium,
and natural polyphenols including quercetin, resveratrol, epigallocatechin
gallate (EGCG) from green tea, and ellagic acid from pomegranate are also
beneficial for preventing the growth of harmful cancer cells. For more
