6 Pillars of Prostate Health

Fruit and vegetables are great for prostate health
The 6 Pillars of Prostate Health are based on extensive research and more than 200 studies from around the world. Men who follow the guidelines offered by the 6 Pillars of Prostate Health take significant steps toward protecting the health of their prostate and overall health as well.

Here is a brief introduction to the Pillars of Prostate Health:

1. The Prostate Diet

Cancer experts estimate that our food choices account for up to 90 percent of cancers of the prostate, breast, pancreas, and colon.  Making changes to your diet can significantly lower your risk of getting prostate disease.  In The Prostate Diet you will find meal plans, recipes, supplements and the 10 Foundations of The Prostate Diet; a total diet, supplement and eating plan for inflammation management, cancer prevention and prostate health.  In order to make informed nutrition decisions you also need to know what foods and additives to avoid and what supplements can actually contribute to prostate disease. You will find these in The Prostate Diet. Go to The Prostate Diet

Both exercise and weight loss can have a significant impact on prostate health.  Men who have prostate cancer have more than double the risk of dying of the disease if they are obese than if they were of normal weight.  Some specific exercises are also great for prostate disorders and reduce your risk of prostate cancer, prostatitis and BPH while others such as Kegel exercises can also aid in sexual health and stamina.
