Relationship Between Lifestyle and Prostate Cancer - There is also evidence that some of the Western lifestyle factors play a role in prostate cancer. But as a specific lifestyle factors are involved is still unclear. But there is a suggestion that dietary fat intake of excessive calories, and refined sugar increases the risk of prostate cancer. Also the reduction of consumption of fruits and vegetables, exercise less, and overall higher levels of obesity are also considered to increase the risk to have it. In particular, obesity has been clearly shown to increase the risk of death from prostate cancer. Thus, the simplest advice to avoid death from prostate cancer is to prevent obesity and if you are overweight, to lose weight and keep it off.

Also there are foods components that have been suggested to protect people from the risk of prostate cancer and among these are that soy protein can also be a factor in the decline in prevalence of prostate cancer in Asian countries and is therefore considered as the most protective dietary factor against prostate cancer. Also green tea intake by the population of Asia has been proposed to contribute to the low prevalence of prostate cancer in the area.

Same intake of food substances such as lycopene and fish oil is believed to assist in reducing the risk of prostate cancer. Cooked tomatoes are a rich source of lycopene. Lycopene is an antioxidant that protects cells from becoming cancerous. Fish oil (omega-3 fatty acids) is estimated to reduce heart disease by reducing inflammation. Given the alleged importance of inflammation in causing prostate cancer, it stands to reason that fish oil can prevent prostate cancer. Other food components that have been suggested to protect men from prostate cancer risk, including carotenoids, pumpkin, spinach, watermelon, and oranges.
