Prostate cancer prevention - #12575
I am a 55-year-old guy and just last week, my doctor mentioned something about prostate cancer prevention during my routine check-up. To be honest, I kinda zoned out after he said "cancer," but I tried to pay attention, especially since my uncle had it and that always freaks me out a bit. Anyway, he recommended some tests and lifestyle changes for prostate cancer prevention, but honestly, I didn’t catch half of it. I’ve been trying to eat more greens and all that, but I don’t know if that’s really enough for prostate cancer prevention. I read somewhere that exercise is important too, but I’m not really a gym person. Is walking enough? I keep thinking about what my doc said about PSA levels and family history making me more susceptible. Feeling a bit overwhelmed, ya know? I even wondered if I should start taking supplements or something for prostate cancer prevention, but I keep hearing mixed things. Are there specific foods or habits to avoid? Like, is it true that red meat is bad? I'm all about getting more info but really confused about the whole prostate cancer prevention thing. What should I absolutely be doing now? Any tips or advice would be awesome. Thanks!
