Accumulated stress increases risk of prostate cancer PTP

<p>Who would have thought that working hard and being dedicated could put us at risk for cancer? . The accumulated stress—both conscious and unconscious—is a significant factor contributing to the increasing incidence of prostate cancer among men every day.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00826a;">Prostate cancer can affect men under 40</span></h2>
<p>Although the risk of prostate cancer in men under 40-45 years old is very low (with higher risks beginning around age 50), certain high-risk behaviors can increase this likelihood. Regular smoking, heavy alcohol consumption, and unnoticed accumulated stress, combined with working long hours, lack of sleep, and a diet high in fast food and low in fruits and vegetables, can all contribute to the risk of prostate cancer.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As men approach age 40, the risk of developing prostate cancer doubles every decade, reaching up to 70% by ages 80-89.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00826a;">Higher stress means higher risk</span></h2>
<p>Long-term accumulated stress leads to changes in the body&#8217;s chemistry, which can have various negative effects, including the potential development of cancer. Coupled with the aforementioned risky behaviors, the chances of cancer increase further.</p>
<p>For those already diagnosed with cancer, high levels of stress can exacerbate the condition, leading to more aggressive tumor growth and spread.</p>

<h2><span style="color: #00826a;">It’s Time to Manage Stress</span></h2>
<p>If you recognize that you are a hard worker often experiencing accumulated stress, it’s crucial to take time to relax both your mind and body.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Engaging in other relaxing activities, exercising, and eating a nutritious diet can help. When both mind and body are at ease, it can alleviate and reduce the chances of various health issues, including cancer.</p>
