Incorporating Good Nutrition and Exercise Into Your Everyday Routine

Media stories often provide confusing and contradictory advice in their effort to make the latest study results sound exciting, and typically don’t offer the context required to understand how the different pieces fit together.

There is no nutrient or exercise for which a survival benefit in prostate cancer has been demonstrated in a controlled, randomized study — the gold standard of clinical trials. Nevertheless, there is a great deal of evidence that balanced nutrition and regular exercise, coupled with weight loss, can lead to better overall health while reducing your risk of common chronic diseases of aging, including diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.

Thus, by combining the insights gained from many different studies with what is known about prostate cancer and the underlying disease processes that promote its development, we’ve compiled a logical set of diet and exercise recommendations for prostate cancer thrivers.
