"Boosting Fitness Cuts Prostate Cancer Risk by 35%, Study Shows"

A new study suggests that men can reduce their risk of developing prostate cancer by increasing their cardiorespiratory fitness, with a three percent improvement linked to a 35 percent lower risk of the disease. The study, which analyzed data from over 57,000 men, found that those whose fitness improved annually were less likely to develop prostate cancer. While the link between exercise and prostate cancer risk is not definitive, maintaining fitness and a balanced diet is beneficial for overall health. Prostate Cancer UK emphasizes the importance of understanding individual risk, especially for men over 50, black men over 45, and those with a family history of the disease.
