treat it after it has appeared. Prostate cancer, however, is
usually a slow growing form of cancer which responds well to
treatment.
The first step in prostate cancer prevention is to improve your
general health. Weight should be within the normal range for
your height. If you are very overweight, see your doctor for
advice and eat a healthy diet which is low in fatty or sugary
foods. This combined with daily exercise such as walking and
swimming should help.
Drink lots of water - water is vital for health. It prevents
hunger and flushes toxins from the body. Six to eight glasses a
day is ideal and tea and coffee doesn't count towards this!
Cut down on alcohol. There's nothing wrong with the odd drink,
just don't make it a daily habit.

Controversy abounds on this topic; however, numerous studies over the past decade have shown a solid connection between the risk of prostate cancer and dairy consumption.

a direct effect on the health of the body. Emotions such as
anger, stress and depression can have a damaging effect on the
immune system and can lead to diseases such as cancer or heart

Try to let go of these damaging emotions. Practice relaxation
exercises or learn Yoga or qigong. Qigong is a wonderful set of
Chinese breathing exercises which can heal disease, whether
physical or emotional, and allow you to experience great health.
So adopting certain changes of diet, ensuring you take
supplements and keeping your emotions positive can all help in
the prevention of prostate or indeed any other form of cancer.
