Here is my question to you.
So you know it is not healthy for you to be overweight.
If you are honest with yourself you know how to slim down.
Do you need another reason? Well my clients tell me they do, so I guess that you do also.
This article will provide you with another reason to slim down.
This is for the men.
The connection is not obvious but you lugging around some extra pounds raises your risk of your prostate cancer.
I bet you did not know that, well it does! Not only does this excess body fat produce hormones and inflammation that is associated with your tumor growth but it just may promote the development of a more progressive form of prostate cancer.
This one is the one that is more likely to recur and more likely to be fatal.
Sorry to scare you but you asked for another reason and it is what it is.
Guys the recent research now suggests that your obesity just may be connected to some more advanced forms of cancer because you being overweight might make your tumors harder to find.
You heavy men tend to have larger prostates and lower PSA levels.
This can yield false negatives on your screening tests.
Do you realize that tumors are missed in up to twenty five per cent of your cases? Cancer may also recur more frequently in you obese men, not my statement just a proven fact.
Now a study that was conducted at the M.
D.
Anderson Clinic Center in Houston Texas discovered that you men that are obese at the age of forty had more than double the risk of prostate cancer recurrence after your surgery than men of average weight.
So I believe I have provided you men with another reason to slim down.
And as always you must eat well to be well.
