There are some things that a person can do to try to maintain a healthy lifestyle, which can in turn, help prevent any development of cancer or prostate cancer. This will not guarantee the prevention because there are other factors that play a part in the development of cancer that no one has control over, such as family history and genetics. Some of the preventative measures that patients can take include some of the following: - Choose a healthy diet that is full of fruits and vegetables: Avoid the intake of foods containing high amounts of fat and instead choose to consume a variety of fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Consistently eating a healthy diet can improve a persons’ overall health. - Always choose healthy foods over vitamin supplements: Foods that are rich in vitamins and minerals are always a much better, and healthier, choice over taking vitamin supplements. - Routine Exercise: Exercise improves overall health, and helps maintain healthy weight. It also releases endorphins to improve a person’s overall mood. - Maintaining a healthy weight: If a patient is currently at a healthy weight, they should work to maintain it. However, if a person is under or over weight – it is important to work with a doctor to help reduce or increase healthy calories to get to a healthy weight and work to maintain it.
