Abstract

Although prostate cancer is the number one diagnosed cancer in men, the importance of emphasizing and preventing other common diseases after diagnosis is essential. For example, heart disease still remains the number one cause of mortality in men, accounting for 50% of the deaths in Western countries. Therefore, promoting overall healthy behaviors also seems essential, especially in light of past and recent evidence that an individual can maintain proper health by following some simple guidelines. The increased consumption of healthy foods, greater intakes of B-vitamins and minerals such as potassium can significantly reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and possibly cancer in a patient with a prior or current malignancy. Overall dietary change as observed from the Mediterranean diet, light exercise, and improved mental health should also be stressed to the patient because of recent studies.
