Lifestyle Modifications
Health Tip
Smoking cessation can help in prevention of recurrence and metastasis of prostate cancer in already diagnosed patients.
Other Lifestyle modifications
Comprehensive research over-the-years proves that lifestyle modification can play an integral part in controlling the progression of prostate cancer and therefore improves survival rates.
- Diet changes like avoidance of red meat, well-cooked meat, milk and dairy product and inclusion of tomatoes, cruciferous vegetables, and green tea in routine diet reduces the risk of mortality due to cancer and also provides chemopreventive action.
- Exercise, especially brisk walking and cardio-exercise helps in normalising the vasculature of prostate gland and therefore prevents the spread of cancer to other parts of the body. Smoking cessation is highly beneficial in reducing the mortality risk and recurrence risk in prostate cancer patients.
- Although stress management do not directly impact on the medical condition of prostate cancer but overall psychological well-being of the patients thus achieved can help in focusing more on the essential lifestyle modification and adhere to them religiously.
