Living with Prostate Cancer – What is Within Your Control ?
The American College of Lifestyle Medicine --six pillars of lifestyle medicine OPTIMAL NUTRITION
Poor overall diet quality is the leading single cause of premature death in America. Optimal nutrition is essential to the root-cause treatment of chronic conditions. The American College of Lifestyle Medicine recommends an eating pattern based predominantly on a variety of minimally processed vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY Regular physical activity is essential to offset a sedentary lifestyle, manage chronic conditions, and support overall health. Adults should aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic and muscle-strengthening activity per week to help prevent issues like osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. RESTORATIVE SLEEP Unhealthy sleep is associated with the most common causes of premature death and disability, and it can lead to an increased risk of impaired memory, dementia, and cardiovascular disease. Quality sleep powerfully supports chronic disease treatment and overall well-being. Adults should strive to create the right conditions to get 7 to 9 hours of quality sleep every night to allow the body to rest and repair.
