There is no surefire way to prevent this disease, but a healthy lifestyle may be beneficial.

June is National Men’s Health Awareness Month, a perfect time to consider screening for prostate cancer.
According to the American Cancer Society, about one in eight men in the U.S. will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in his lifetime. Although most men with this disease will not die from it, prostate cancer is still the second leading cause of cancer death in American men (after lung cancer).

Let’s Get Moving!

Physical activity is good for us—whatever we do, and wherever and whenever we do it.

The benefits of physical activity are well-established. Not only can being physically active make you feel and perform better, but it can also reduce the risk of developing many chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.

Healthy Aging: ‘Outlive – The Science And Art Of Longevity’ By Peter Attia

Trained as an oncological surgeon, Attia became interested in longevity because he saw that the “Four Horsemen” worked against it: diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease. All play a role in an unhealthy system, and all interrelate.

Drug developers are now trying to target ceramides, which appear to contribute to a range of metabolic disorders
