Whenever you can do something that most of us enjoy and also gain added health benefits, well that’s something to get excited about. The latest research suggests that a cup or more of coffee per day may hold additional benefits that were previously unknown. Drinking coffee on a daily basis may reduce the risk of lethal and advanced prostate cancers by a significant 60% according to new findings from the US. A large study of approximately 50,000 men over the course of four years found that males with the highest intake of coffee had significantly lower risks of aggressive prostate cancer. How does coffee work its magic? Well we know it is a rich source of antioxidants,it also has an impact on insulin and glucose metabolism, along with sex hormone levels, all of which contribute to prostate cancer risk. There is clear evidence that avoiding smoking, walking 30 minutes 3 times a week and controlling your weight can all help maintain a healthier prostate. Now we know that your daily coffee habit can also further reduce your risk. I also routinely recommend for my patients vitamin D3, Zinc, Lycopene and Saw Palmetto for my patients serious about taking a proactive stance when it comes to the health of the little walnut sized gland that seems to become a growing problem for more and more men.
