Plant Based Diet and PCa progression

Interesting findings re diet and prostate Cancer. We’ve seen these types of articles and studies before. I’ve never seen anything about plant based diets though. It’s possible such info has been posted here but I missed it, if so.

Apologies for the long link, shorter version didn’t work.

“ Conclusions and Relevance In this cohort study of 2062 men with prostate cancer, higher intake of plant foods after prostate cancer diagnosis was associated with lower risk of cancer progression. These findings suggest nutritional assessment and counseling may be recommended to patients with prostate cancer to help establish healthy dietary practices and support well-being and overall health.”

For what it’s worth, I was on a mostly plant-based diet for decades before PCa so one just never knows but I still stick to that diet for cardia vascular reasons and there I believe it has paid benefits.

Nutrition is just one of the pillars although very important which makes up the foundation for healthy living. A plant based diet will surely help in reducing a number of physical problems which we have as we get older, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity just to name a few. Regular physical activity,as studies have shown, makes up another extremely important pillar of healthy living.

I think of our bodies as our long term home which must have constant maintenance to keep it in good shape to fight not only diseases but also help in managing conditions like PC.

Sadly, all too many of us do not maintain our most important responsibility which is our home so when the roof leaks after a rain storm because of neglect, it is not the water but the mold as a result from the moisture which become the long term problem.

The study brought up in this thread is just another example of the fact that drugs and procedures although important in the crusade against PC
are only some of the things we can do to improve our situation dealing with PC.

I believe in the DEA method:
Diet
Exercise
Attitude

yes, it's all about lifestyle. i am currently coming off a diet. i dropped eight pounds over the past two months but more importantly my eating habits and food choices have improved, again. i also crossed 900 miles of walking/hiking for the year two days ago. i wear a fitbit 24/7 and just completed my fourth year of over 2k miles. i also weight train one day a week.

you're either self-motivated or you're not. how did you do during isolation -- covid? that could be the tell. if you're not self-motivated a trainer or the group thing may work for you but if it were me this late in the game i would also get medical help

TimG,
Thank you for your kind words.
Dave

I agree 100% regarding diet and exercise what AZ Guy has written especially exercise.
