After consulting your doctor, consider the following tips:
- Follow a plant-based diet filled with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds.
- Reduce intake of foods high in added sugar and fats.
- If you are under hormonal therapy, your bones may weaken. To limit the risk, talk to your doctor about calcium and vitamin D supplements.
Maintain a healthy weight
To prevent prostate cancer from worsening, weight management can help. Excessive weight might increase the risk of other health concerns that may affect your current condition.
According to reports, weight gain is typical among patients under hormonal therapy. If you want to combat unhealthy weight gain, maintain a balanced diet and regular exercise.
In most cases, cancer patients, especially those without symptoms, have the same exercise guidelines as everyone else. Aim to have 30 minutes of moderate physical activity for five days a week.
Here’s an important note: do not start a new exercise regimen without your doctor’s approval.
