Prostate cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in men. A recent study has found that white men who exercise are 53% less likely to develop prostate cancer and in those men who already have the disease, studies show they have a 13% lower chance of developing the high-grade disease. However, there was no evidence to show that this reduction in risk applied to any other ethnic group. Prostate cancer is in many cases a disease with slow progression, however, some men have the more serious forms, which are harder to treat. This study shows that if you are a white man, exercise lowers your risk significantly. Another good reason to get fit!
