Link between Weight loss and Prostate Cancer

Weight loss can play a significant role in reducing the risk of prostate cancer. Studies have suggested that maintaining a healthy weight through proper diet and regular exercise may lower the likelihood of developing prostate cancer. Excess body fat, particularly around the abdomen, is associated with increased inflammation and hormonal changes that can contribute to the development and progression of prostate cancer. Adopting a balanced, nutrient-rich diet and engaging in regular physical activity not only aids in weight loss but also promotes overall health, potentially reducing the risk of prostate cancer and improving outcomes for those already diagnosed with the disease.
