Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, affecting millions worldwide. While certain risk factors, such as age and family history, cannot be changed, there are several steps men can take to reduce their risk of prostate cancer.

Here are 10 tips to keep your prostate healthy:.

1. Know your risk

The first step in reducing your risk of prostate cancer is understanding your individual risk. Men with a family history of prostate cancer and those over age 50 are at higher risk. Talk to your healthcare provider about your personal risk factors.

2. Get screened regularly

Screening for prostate cancer typically involves a blood test for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels and a digital rectal exam. Talk to your healthcare provider about how often you should be screened based on your risk factors.

3. Maintain a healthy weight

Being overweight or obese can increase your risk of prostate cancer. A healthy diet and regular exercise can help you maintain a healthy weight and reduce your risk.

4. Eat a healthy diet

A diet high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains has been associated with a lower risk of prostate cancer. Limit your intake of red and processed meats, as well as saturated and trans fats.

5. Drink in moderation

Excessive alcohol consumption has been linked to an increased risk of prostate cancer. Limit your alcohol intake to one or two drinks per day.

6. Quit smoking

Smoking has been linked to an increased risk of several types of cancer, including prostate cancer. Quitting smoking can not only reduce your risk of prostate cancer but also improve your overall health.

7. Take a multivitamin

Several studies have suggested that taking a daily multivitamin may reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Talk to your healthcare provider about whether a multivitamin is right for you.

8. Stay active

Regular physical activity has been associated with a lower risk of prostate cancer. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, such as brisk walking, most days of the week.

9. Manage stress

Chronic stress has been linked to an increased risk of several types of cancer, including prostate cancer. Find healthy ways to manage stress, such as exercise, meditation, or spending time in nature.

10. Consider medication

In certain cases, medication may be recommended to reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Talk to your healthcare provider about whether medication is right for you.
