Fight Prostate Cancer With Coffee And Exercise
Related: Coffee, Exercise, Prostate Cancer
It seems like an odd combination, but drinking a few more cups of coffee and exercising each day can reduce a man’s risk of dying of prostate cancer, according to two studies. Now this isn’t a proven treatment, but data shows a clear association with both activities.
Of almost 50,000 men in one study, spanning the 20 years from 1986 to 2006, 4,975 cases of prostate cancer were diagnosed. That’s 10 percent of the men in the study. But only 846 of those cancers were life-threatening, because they had spread beyond the prostate gland or were growing aggressively. The study only found a weak relationship between consumption of six or more cups of coffee a day and a reduced risk of all forms of prostate cancer, but the reduction for the aggressive form was a whopping 41 percent.
