You might think there’s no way to reduce your risk for prostate cancer, but diet and lifestyle play a significant role. Diets low in carbohydrates and sugar like the Mediterranean diet, and moderate to vigorous exercise three to four hours a week have been shown to help prevent or delay the onset of the disease.
It’s also a good idea to get 15 to 30 minutes of sun exposure without sunscreen on 40 percent of your body, or talk to your doctor about a supplement, as low levels of vitamin D may increase aggressive prostate cancer, a 2016 study out of Northwestern Medicine found.
Also, herbs like curcumin and boswellia lower inflammation and reduce biological markers that contribute to cancer.
