Here’s another reason for men to lose weight this holiday season: A new study found that losing weight reduces the risk of aggressive prostate cancer.
The study conducted on nearly 70,00 men found that men who lost more than 11 pounds had a lower risk of aggressive prostate cancer than men whose weight remained the same. This study also indicates that weight loss can decrease the risk of severe prostrate cancer.
Men should avoid putting on extra weight as they get older, and if they are already overweight, it’s high time that they lose some pounds.
Apart from skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer for men, and the second leading cause of cancer deaths for U.S. men. About 1 in every 6 men gets affected with prostrate cancer during his lifetime.
So hit the gym and lose the flab !!!
