I’m amazed at the enormous number of studies that have demonstrated the benefits of vigorous exercise in dramatically slowing the progression of prostate cancer.

20 years ago a comprehensive study concluded:

“In conclusion, men 65 years or older engaging at least 3 hours of vigorous physical activity weekly had a markedly lower risk (almost 70%) of being diagnosed as having high-grade, advanced, or fatal prostate cancer. The findings were consistent over time, did not appear to be caused by bias or confounding, and are compatible with hormonal hypotheses regarding prostate cancer progression.”

…and hundreds of studies, since 2005, have confirmed this well researched benefit of vigorous exercise.

So why is this not the PRIMARY prescription of every physician treating prostate cancer?

As Robert H. Lustig, a pediatric endocrinologist, said:

“If you could put the benefits of exercise into a pill, it would be the most widely prescribed drug in the world.”
