The latest science-based guidelines on nutrition and exercise as they relate to prostate health
 and cancer prevention are now available in a new publication from The Prostate Cancer
 Foundation (PCF). The guide,Nutrition, Exercise and Prostate Cancer, is available in
 electronic form on the foundation's website, http://www.pcf.org. Individuals can also order a
 printed copy of the booklet online.

 The comprehensive guide covers a wide variety of topics including an easy-to- follow
 scientific discussion of specific diet and nutrition recommendations, the effects of obesity on
 cancer and other diseases, and a description of the benefits of regular exercise in maintaining a
 healthy lifestyle. Tips are also provided for implementing a plan for success. The 28-page
 guide is authored by four of America's leading scientists and physicians working in the field of
 prostate cancer and nutrition research: David Heber, M.D., Ph.D., of the UCLA Center for
 Human Nutrition; Stephen J. Freedland, M.D., Duke Prostate Center at Duke University
 Medical Center; Lee. W, Jones, Ph.D., Duke University Medical Center; and William G.
 Nelson, M.D., Ph.D., of the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at the Johns
 Hopkins School of Medicine.

 "Increasingly, scientific findings are indicating that changes in lifestyle-namely better nutrition
 and exercise routines-have an important effect on survivorship and prevention for many
 cancers. In some cases, it is now believed that intensive lifestyle intervention can provide a
 positive contribution to various medical interventions," outlines Howard Soule, Ph.D., chief
 scientist for the Prostate Cancer Foundation. "We are grateful to Drs. Heber, Freedland,
 Jones and Nelson for their efforts in creating this publication. It provides important and useful
 information to prostate cancer patients and their families."

 The guide underscores the importance of a diet rich in fruits and vegetables and low in
 processed sugars and refined carbohydrates. It also calls for approximately 30 minutes of
 daily exercise. Healthier cooking techniques and hints for dining out are also provided.
