Improve Your Prostate Health with These 10 Steps

4. Replace Sedentary With Active

Exercise has some direct benefits for prostate health. Studies show that physically active men are less likely to have an enlarged prostate, and both aerobic and non-aerobic exercise can help prostatitis.

Men with prostate cancer can benefit from exercise, too. In one study, men with early-stage prostate cancer who took a brisk walk for at least three hours weekly were 57 percent less likely to have the cancer progress. Men who engaged in vigorous activity for at least three hours a week had a 61 percent lower chance of dying from the disease. High-intensity interval training also seems to slow prostate cancer growth.
