A recent research study tracking men whose prostate tumors weren't aggressive concluded that a radical ultra low-fat diet together with regular exercising and yoga stress-management techniques may help patients having early stage prostate cancer to keep it steady, out of worse changes.

This new approach in fighting prostate cancer doesn't mean men should opt for diet over conventional therapy. On the contrary, the diet may help male population undergoing therapy. Because many prostate cancer tumors grow slowly, the regimen allows patients to block its development. Some cellular tests confirmed the diet keeps a low level of prostate specific antigen (PSA) production.
