As men age, the prostate can enlarge, increas­ing the risk of con­di­tions such as benign pro­sta­t­ic hyper­pla­sia (BPH), pro­sta­ti­tis, and prostate can­cer. Prostate can­cer can spread if not detect­ed ear­ly. To main­tain prostate health, reg­u­lar exer­cise, a healthy diet, weight man­age­ment, quit­ting tobac­co, and reg­u­lar screen­ings are recommended. 

The Amer­i­can Can­cer Soci­ety reports that 1 in 9 men will be diag­nosed with prostate can­cer in their life­time. For­tu­nate­ly, if caught ear­ly, prostate can­cer is among the most treat­able types. Annu­al screen­ings are impor­tant for ear­ly detection.

In no way am I try­ing to ruin Thanks­giv­ing, but we have to talk about one lit­tle cul­prit that makes the hol­i­days a lot less heart-healthy. Salt added to food is a com­bi­na­tion of sodi­um and chlo­ride, and this small crys­tal has a huge effect on our health. Too much salt can raise blood pres­sure and lead to dan­ger­ous flu­id reten­tion, espe­cial­ly in those with dis­eases like kid­ney dis­ease or heart fail­ure. The biggest prob­lem is rarely the salt shak­er, but rather foods found on gro­cery store shelves or at restaurants.
