I am just short of 70 and exercise 7 days a week. I walk daily for 60-70 minutes at a 3 1/2 mph pace. I do calesthenics 3 days a week including jumping jacks, pushups with feet elevated on a chair, stomach crunches, deep knee bends, leg lifts, and a few others. 3 days a week I lift weights. Have been following this routine for several years and don't plan to give it up. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer almost 2 years ago and have been following watchful waiting ever since. The cancer diagnosis prompted me to lose weight and after 15 months of dieting have lost 42 pounds. I feel great and so far the cancer has proven to be very slow growing.

Get more tomatos and beets in your diet. I believe it is betaine and lutein that are very good for prostate health.

A low fat diet, and more fruits and veggies will get you all kind of nutrients that will further improve your health. Try research on anti-cancer foods on WebMD and PubMED.

Keep up the good effort.
