ESPN's Vic Lombardi's Top 5 Men's Health Tips For Prostate Cancer Patients
1. SUGAR-FREE IS WHERE TO BE:
I used to be a sugarholic. After my diagnosis, I eliminated most desserts, sweets, bread, pasta, anything with sugar. The only time my sweet tooth gets served is with fruit, whiskey, and wine.
2. ACTUALLY READ THE LABELS:
Stay away from foods that contain hard-to-pronounce preservatives and chemicals. You'd be surprised how many weird chemicals you'll find in a package of Nutter Butters. Man, I miss my Nutter Butters.
3. PUT THE WORK IN YOUR WORKOUTS:
Any workout you can do while chatting on your phone is NOT a workout. You need to sweat. You need to suffer.
4. LEAN AND MEAN:
Cardio is essential. But so is strength conditioning. Gotta do both. Mix it up. If you're a avid cyclist, mix in some bench press or bicep curls two days a week. The body needs balance.
5). STRRRRRETCH:
Man, it sounds so easy. But stretching is so challenging if you're not used to doing it. First of all, it hurts. Secondly, if it's too easy, you're probably doing it wrong. Learn proper stretching from a trainer if you have the means. Or, if you're really bold, give yoga a try.
