Get out of prostrate position and walk your prostate cancer away

Brisk walking - at a pace of three mph - may actually lower risk of disease progression and need for additional treatment. A study of 1,455 men who had localized prostate cancer was conducted from 2004 to 2009. Average age at diagnosis was 65. The study showed that men who walked three+ hours a week (hey, that's nothing!-Ian) at a brisk pace had a 57 percent lower risk of prostate cancer progression when compared to men who walked less or who walked more slowly. Participants reported their physical activity about 27 months after diagnosis to researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health and the University of California, San Francisco. The new analysis was published in the June 1st, 2011 issue of Cancer Research.

Seriously good, practical news for sufferers of prostate.
