Prostate Health
Why You Need A Healthy Prostate!!!
Prostate health has been widely recognized to be important for men 50 and over. In fact 50% of all men over the age of 50 will suffer from benign prostate hyperplasia which if left untreated may result in prostate malignancy (CANCER). Shockingly, in recent years, the importance of prostate health to men in their 30s and 40s has become more widely known because prostate issues are being found in many men under the age of 50. Some influencing factors known to affect prostate health include diet, lifestyle habits, and environmental factors.
By age 60, as many as 90% of American men may have less-than-optimal health in this area.
