Obese people have a higher incidence of prostate cancer

The American Cancer Society found that obese men have a significantly reduced risk of prostate cancer after losing weight. This is the first time that the medical community has discovered the relationship between men's weight changes and prostate cancer.

Why are fat people more prone to prostatitis? Analysis shows that, on the one hand, fat people like to eat red meat such as pork, beef and mutton. An epidemiological survey led by the famous urology professor Gu Fangliu showed that eating red meat frequently is not good for prostate health and will increase the possibility of prostate hyperplasia. On the other hand, the high-fat substances produced during the metabolism of excessive fat will change the hormonal environment, thereby having a certain impact on the testosterone content in the blood. Prostate cancer is caused by excessive dependence on testosterone. It can be seen that in order to prevent prostate cancer, it is best to start with weight loss.

Early prostate cancer has no obvious symptoms, such as frequent urination, incomplete urination, and urgent urination. This study has a special reminder effect on people with a high incidence of prostate cancer, such as those over 60 years old, those who are overweight, those with sexually transmitted diseases, and those who have had vasectomies.

How to determine if you are overweight?

A body mass index (BMI) of more than 26 means being overweight. The calculation method is to divide the weight by the square of the height in meters. For example, if you are 1.7 meters tall and weigh 90 kilograms, your BMI is about 31.1, which is considered overweight.

Take action to stay away from prostate cancer

It is best to start losing weight with exercise, but for elderly patients, improper exercise can induce other diseases. Elderly patients who are not convenient to exercise to lose weight can take a hot bath every day. It is best to kick your legs and move a little while bathing, just like walking in the water, because hot water can release a lot of heat in the body and fully burn excess fat, which can play a certain weight loss effect. Under the stimulation of temperature, it can also accelerate the blood circulation of blood vessels around the prostate, so that the toxic substances deposited in the prostatic fluid enter the blood and are quickly discharged from the body. Of course, if conditions permit, hot springs are also a good choice. The minerals in hot springs can also replenish the trace elements needed by the body in time.
