Working Up A Sweat May Protect Men From Lethal Prostate Cancer
A study that tracked tens of thousands of midlife and older men for more than 20 years has found that vigorous exercise and other healthy lifestyle habits may cut their chances of developing a lethal type of prostate cancer by up to 68 %.
While most prostate cancers are “clinically indolent,” meaning they do not metastasize and are nonlife-threatening, a minority of patients are diagnosed with aggressive disease that invades the bone and other organs, and is ultimately fatal. Lead author Stacey Kenfield, ScD, of UCSF, and a team of researchers at UCSF and Harvard, focused on this variant of prostate cancer to determine if exercise, diet and smoke-free status might have life-saving benefits.

...I can still bust out the push ups.☺
ReplyDeleteEric Ramos Me too... However, my yoga needs a lot of work - still very low-tech. :(
ReplyDeleteI believe in pull ups, but push ups? Isn't that the name of a bra?

My 60 yr old husband still wrestles rolls of carpet and vinyl, laminate flooring boxes, and ceramic tile every day. He has a 6pack! Good diet too, that's important.
ReplyDeleteGood, more justification for my 5 mile commute run :-)
