Summary

From the head of adult urology at Johns Hopkins comes a comprehensive guide to better prostate health: "This book should be read by all men, and their loved ones" (Mehmet Oz, MD, Professor and Vice Chair, Department of Surgery, New York Presbyterian-Columbia Medical Center). Whether a man is in his twenties, thirties, or sixties, he is always one day closer to being told he has a prostate problem. This growing health issue affects more than 20 million men nationwide, with more than 200,000 diagnosed with prostate cancer every year. Fortunately, positive lifestyle changes, such as a healthy diet and exercise, can lower those odds. Dr. H. Ballentine Carter, a preeminent expert in the diagnosis and management of prostate disease, believes that it's never too lateor too earlyto make important changes to improve and maintain overall prostate health. With wisdom gleaned from his many years in the field, Dr. Carter cuts through the overwhelming amount of information on prostate problems, arming men with the knowledge they need to make the best decisions about prevention, testing, and treatment. Filled with simple and nutritious recipes, easy-to-follow workout routines, and a straightforward approach to demystifying complex medical jargon, The Whole Life Prostate Bookis an empowering manual for maintaining optimal health throughout a man's life.
