Improve Your Prostate Health with These 10 Steps

9. Deep Breathing and Meditation

The relationship between deep breathing, meditation, and prostate health is complex. Mediation affects the sympathetic nervous system, which controls blood pressure, heart rate, and digestion, among other things.

One study showed noradrenaline, a hormone regulated by the sympathetic nervous system, may have a role in regulating late-stage prostate cancer. Another indicated that nerves from the sympathetic nervous system might regulate the early phases of tumor development. While the relationship requires more study, deep breathing and meditation can keep the sympathetic nervous system from being aroused, which seems to support good prostate health.
