https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/health/924382/cancer-symptoms-prostate-signs-causes

Citando:
"[Factors] include:

Age - risk rises as you get older and most cases are diagnosed in men over 50 years of age.

Ethnic group – prostate cancer is more common among men of African-Caribbean and African descent than in men of Asian descent.

Family history – having a brother or father who developed prostate cancer under the age of 60 seems to increase the risk of you developing it. Research also shows that having a close female relative who developed breast cancer may also increase your risk of developing prostate cancer.

Obesity – recent research suggests that there may be a link between obesity and prostate cancer.

Exercise – men who regularly exercise have also been found to be at lower risk of developing prostate cancer.

Diet – research is ongoing into the links between diet and prostate cancer. There is evidence that a diet high in calcium is linked to an increased risk of developing prostate cancer."

Exercício total para idosos?

https://health.spectator.co.uk/for-older-men-total-volume-of-exercise-matters-more-than-consistency/

Citando:
"Exercising for just a few minutes a day is linked to a lower risk of death in older men, according to new research published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

The study suggests that the total volume of exercise matters. Current exercise guidelines recommend accumulating at least 150 minutes a week of moderate to vigorous physical activity in bouts lasting longer than ten minutes. But such a pattern is not always easy for older adults to achieve, say the researchers.

This lower level of intensity is also likely to be a better fit for older men, say the researchers.

To find out if other patterns of activity might still contribute to lowering the risk of death, the researchers drew on data from the British Regional Heart Study."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

How long do your smoothies last and how do you store them?

I always make four days worth of smoothies in one hit. I store them in the fridge in shakers. As I'm about to drink I add my protein powder give it a good shake and  then enjoy.

Do you store your meals in the fridge or freezer?

I keep five days worth of meals in the fridge and freeze the rest down.

How long do meal preps take you?

Two to three hours tops. I have numerous things on the go & am a bit of an advocate for multitasking in the kitchen. I always have a sink full of hot soapy water and  wash dishes as I use them.

Do you eat the same thing everyday?

Generally my breakfasts, lunches and snacks are the same for the week but dinners are different each night as we eat as a family.

For any half used vegetables, Ms Harbinson said she would incorporate the leftovers into another batch of meal planning later in the week."

Beber cerveja, um bocado de peso a mais e cafeína ajuda a longevidade?

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news/alcohol-being-overweight-good-you-12049410

Citando:
"People who drank modest consumption of alcohol – from one or two beers or glasses of wine a week to one daily drink – lived longer on average than people who abstained.

People who consumed 200 to 400 milligrams of caffeine per day – about two cups of coffee – also lived longer.

The ongoing study shows being overweight has negative effect until 80 but after that it gives you a 3% reduction in the chance of dying.

The latest findings unveiled at the world’s biggest science conference in Austin, Texas, showed that after 80 being underweight increased mortality rates by half."
