Exercise and weight loss have a significant impact on overall prostate health including reducing your risk of cancer, BPH and prostatitis. Maintaining a healthy weight and getting enough exercise is also fundamental to recovery after prostate treatment. Exercise increases your immunity and overall wellness while maintaining a healthy weight decreases your the inflammation response in your body that can cause or contribute to prostate disease.
Obesity and Prostate Health
The journal Cancer released a report on obesity and prostate cancer. It stated that that “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”. This threat of death remained regardless of whether the men underwent radical prostatectomy or hormone therapy, if they had low- or high-grade cancer, or if the cancer had spread.
The study noted that men who had been obese one year before receiving their diagnosis were 2.6 times more likely than men who had a normal BMI to die of prostate cancer. The odds were even worse for men who were diagnosed with prostate cancer that had not spread far beyond the prostate: those who were obese one year prior to diagnosis were more than three times more likely to have cancer that spread during the study.
Recent studies also shown that heavier patients, or those with the highest body mass index (BMI), also had the largest prostate cancer tumors. They discovered the connection after studying 3,327 patients who had undergone robotic removal of their cancerous prostate glands and surrounding tissue.
