What exercises can you do to prevent prostate cancer?

As we all know, cancer is the number one killer threatening human health. Its high mortality rate is frightening. Among them, prostate cancer is the most common malignant tumor in men, and its mortality rate ranks second among all cancers. Therefore, prostate health has become a hot topic for men. In particular, how to protect the prostate and prevent prostate cancer.

Recently, a new study conducted by American scientists over a period of 14 years and involving a total of 47,620 men showed that active participation in fitness exercises can help slow the spread of prostate cancer cells. The sports participated by the subjects included swimming, running, walking, playing tennis, cycling and gymnastics. The study also found that men over 65 years old who frequently participate in sports activities have a 70% lower chance of developing prostate cancer than ordinary people. The research report stated: "Men over 65 years old who actively exercise for more than 3 hours a week will greatly reduce the possibility of developing advanced prostate cancer."

According to doctors, physical exercise can improve disease resistance, improve blood circulation, make prostate fluid secretion more vigorous, and help relieve back pain, perineum and lower abdominal pain, as well as nerve dysfunction and neurasthenia. In addition, more exercise can also deliver drugs to the prostate gland more quickly, thereby improving the efficacy of the drugs.

It should be noted that strenuous exercise can also cause congestion and edema of the prostate, aggravating the symptoms. Therefore, the amount and intensity of exercise should be moderate, and it is best to stick to about half an hour a day. The intensity of exercise should be adjusted according to your own habits and age. It should not be too strenuous, and it is not suitable to do competitive sports such as sprinting.

In addition to choosing sports based on your own interests and hobbies, you should also consider whether it will aggravate the disease. Try to choose gentle sports, such as walking, jogging, gymnastics, etc. Through the exercise of the abdomen, perineum and buttocks muscles, it can promote local blood and lymph circulation in the prostate, which is conducive to the disappearance and absorption of local inflammation.

Long-term riding sports, such as cycling, motorcycle, horseback riding, racing, etc., directly compress the perineum, urethra and prostate, which may cause local congestion of the prostate and obstruction of the discharge of prostatic fluid, making the condition worse.

In addition to actively participating in fitness exercises, prostate cancer patients can also choose a plant-based diet, eat soy products 1 to 2 times a day, take adequate doses of calcium and vitamin D, etc. to take care of prostate cancer. Of course, they must also cooperate with the doctor's continuous treatment.
