Men who are working in an office are more predisposed to prostate cancer, according to scientists. As scientists discovered, men who are spending more time at the office, sitting on a chair most part of the day, have 30% more chances then other men of developing prostate cancer. These men have a more sedentary life, and this is why men who go to the gym and work out regularly have less chances of developing this type of cancer. So spending too much time sitting on a chair is one of the risk factors of prostate cancer.



During a study conducted on 45.000 men aged from 45 to 79 it has been proven that men who spend just half a day on the chair have with 20% less chances of developing prostate cancer than men who spend the entire day sitting on a chair at the office.



According to this study, which has been published in British Journal of Cancer, the physical education is also very important if you are trying to avoid this disease. So men who go to the gym and work out regularly have 14% less chances to develop prostate cancer compared to those who exercise once a week or less. Even though working out is very important in general, for a better general mood, it is essential in preventing this disease. This fact was not known until now.

And if you start working out in your middle age, this will substantially diminish the risk of developing prostate cancer, as research from Karolinska Institute in Sweden say. It is assumed that working out is associated with some cancer hormones, like testosterone. Studies also showed that a fruit and vegetable rich diet also diminished the risk of prostate cancer.

There are also other risk factors of prostate cancer, like high levels of cholesterol in your blood. Keeping your cholesterol under control does not only prevent prostate cancer, but also heart conditions. A low cholesterol level halves the risk of developing prostate cancer, according to a study published by the American Association of Cancer Research.

Men who are taking care of their level of cholesterol diminish their risk of aggressive tumors, as it happens in some cases for men of 55. 60 of 60.000 monitored men developed extremely aggressive forms of tumors that were rapidly growing. None of these men had been supervising their cholesterol level. Prostate cancer is the most common type of prostate cancer among men in the United States of America. In 2009 there were estimated about 192.000 new prostate cancer cases and almost 27.360 deaths because of prostate cancer.



Coffee could prevent aggressive prostate cancer forms, according to a recent study. Coffee interacts with insulin and glucose as well as with stress hormones which play an important role in the case of this disease. However, it is not known which ingredient contained by coffee offers protection to the body, because it cannot be caffeine, since the same effects are obtained after patients had been drinking decaffeinated coffee. Studies also show that tea also plays an important role in preventing prostate cancer.
