Regular Brisk Walks May Protect Prostate Cancer Patients
(HealthDay):
MONDAY, May 23 - Prostate cancer patients who take brisk walks on a regular basis fare better than those who don't, a new study suggests."
"Men who engaged in brisk walking, defined as three miles per hour or faster, after a diagnosis of clinically localized prostate cancer, had a reduced risk of prostate cancer progression compared to men who walked at an easy pace [less than two miles per hour]," said study author Erin L. Richman
Richman's team cautioned that more research is needed to confirm the findings. She also suggested that other types of exercise might also prove helpful.
