A person who moves from a country with a low incidence of cancer and settles in the United States for several decades will have a cancer rate close to the average rate in the United States, and those who still maintain a traditional diet in the United States will have a lower than average cancer rate, suggesting that lifestyle and diet play an important role in cancer development. The strongest direct link between diet and prostate cancer comes from the suggestion that obesity can lead to increased prostate cancer mortality. Nevertheless, we have been able to sort out some of the more recognized recommendations from the current research on the effects of diet and lifestyle on prostate cancer: 1. A diet high in dietary fiber and less milk can minimize the occurrence of prostate cancer: The results of a series of recent studies in the United States indicate that diet and lifestyle play an important role in the development of prostate cancer. According to a recent study by Duke University, if a person’s diet is rich in carbohydrates, low in protein and low in fat, the risk of prostate cancer is reduced by 60-70 percent. In addition, a diet high in dietary fiber can reduce the risk of prostate cancer by 70-80%. Drinking large amounts of milk can increase a person’s likelihood of developing progressive prostate cancer. 2. Preventing the onset of diabetes and heart disease also reduces the incidence and mortality of prostate cancer: If a person has two or more health problems related to metabolic syndrome, his risk of prostate cancer is also increased. The metabolic syndromes mentioned here include heart disease, diabetes, stroke, obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, etc. If a person has a combination of 2 metabolic diseases, his risk of prostate cancer increases by 35%; if he has a combination of 3-4, then his risk of prostate cancer increases by 94%.
