Which exercise is best for the prostate?

The causes of prostate cancer are relatively complex, but known high-risk factors include age, diet, genetics, smoking, obesity, and prostate lesions. Therefore, prevention of prostate cancer should start with changing lifestyle habits. In addition to developing a good work and rest schedule, a balanced diet and nutrition, quitting smoking and drinking are also very necessary. Studies have shown that moderate physical exercise can also reduce the risk of prostate cancer, because physical exercise can maintain endocrine stability and regulate immune function.

Brisk walking for at least 3 hours a week can slow down or even prevent the spread of prostate cancer, and only brisk walking can bring this effect. Studies have found that those prostate cancer patients who briskly walk for at least 3 hours a week have a 57% lower rate of disease spread than those who walk slowly and exercise less.

Experts recommend that men swim for 30 minutes every day because swimming can improve disease resistance, promote blood and lymph circulation in the prostate, make prostate fluid secretion more vigorous, help to reduce prostate inflammation, and greatly reduce the possibility of late-stage prostate cancer. Men who engage in relatively high-intensity sports such as cycling and gymnastics have a 30% higher chance of developing prostate cancer than the former. This is because strenuous exercise can cause congestion and edema of the prostate, inducing prostate diseases.
