Excercise, even walking, can reduce PCa risk

Regular exercise can reduce PCa risk.
Men who exercise daily could halve their risk of prostate cancer, a major study has found.
Experts said regular activity - which can include gardening or walking - has a "far larger" protective effect than previously thought.

Well I guess the guys like me that where physical active ( I ran 5 times per week for 45 minutes on a treadmill, my job was physically demanding ) and still got prostate cancer must just be unlucky. Interesting read by the way thanks for posting it.

Exercise is good for you as most of you know I"m a big believer in the ability of the human body to do some healing on it's own spent 4 hrs snowshoeing yesterday tired and sore when i finished but this morning feel energized! But when I read studies like this one we have to keep it in perspective, Genetics, environment, and the luck of the draw I believe play a much more role in guys getting PCA. It would be interesting to do a survey here and see how many guys on the forum exercised before PCA. From reading the posts the last 3 yrs it seems like a lot of us exercised. In real life I only know one individual that was overweight that had PCA, the rest of them were pretty skinny. I met lots guys from my time at the Hope Lodge and radiation at Mayo and I would say probably close to 50% or more talked about daily exercise. I for sure noticed that the guys who were in what I would say pretty good shape had a lot easier time dealing with the fatigue of radiation. Of course this is JMHO. Larry

The human body was designed to move. It's hard to count all the ways exercise helps fight disease and improve the quality of life. It's better than any drug on the market. No idea why more people don't take advantage of it. It's not a cure for anything. Sometimes life happens. But it can change a disposition and put some spunk in your step.

It benefits our furry cousins too. Since he was a pup I've taken my dog on a 30-40 walk every day, rain or shine. Every day at about 5pm he reminds me it's walk time. He just turned 15. Spry as a pup and weighs the same as he did when he was 3. I feed him a lot of red meat too.

good on ya Trail Guy...snow shoeing...damm...I may need to move...where is it you roam Pallidin Pallidin...it sounds invigorating...somethings moving and we are all falling...like it or not...

I've gone to the gym, ran my entire life....still got PC. My twin brother, who never went to the gym nor worked out, has maintained a very low PSA. I think being subjected to chemicals, catalysts, heavy metals dusts, etc. during my employment was responsible but who knows......I also was "determined to be a Vietnam service herbicide exposed Veteran" by the VA this past summer......lol....50 years after the fact and ironically this letter came the same time I got diagnosed with PC. Recently I received 100% service connected disability for the PC but this only goes 6 months and then re-evaluation. My brother also served in Nam but wasn't real close to the defoliation spray.

I do five miles a day, sometimes more, six-seven days a week.

well this [post is carthetic but Jack Nickleson showed up...and would not be well received so I will edit post with the exception of what you will see now
