It is estimated that 1 in 5 guys will get it prostate cancer. There is now something EXTRA that you can do to hedge the bet, so to speak.
Researchers from the University of Hawaii have concluded that increased weight when men are younger, increase risk of prostate cancer later in life. If you are white, the risk of being fat and aggressive prostate cancer is even stronger than other races.
This was a BIG STUDY, it involved almost 84,000 men. They observed that excessive weight gain in young adulthood increased the risk of advanced and high-grade prostate cancers (the more dangerous kind) for white men. Whereas for black men, excessive weight gain as a young adult prostate cancer as well, albeit it, a less aggressive form. Yet, it is important to note, that black and also Asian men have higher risk of prostate cancer for other reasons, including often lower vitamin D levels.
Steps to help control prostate risk factors, consider supplementing with zinc, selenium, a high quality fish oil, lycopene, vitamin D3 and a good Saw Palmetto product. Talk to your doctor, and get an annual digital exam and PSA, along with a free PSA. Note: Free PSA is important to always have done, especially if your PSA is above 2.0.
