While scanning the internet for "health" related topics I found this interesting headline:
4 Fun Ways To Help Prevent Prostate Cancer

Quote:
1- Eat marinara sauce
How it works: The main ingredient in marinara sauce is tomato, and tomatoes are chock-full of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that has been shown to reduce the risk of developing prostate cancer in men.

Sounds good, tomatoes taste nice...

2- Masturbate
How it works: Now before you shake your fist in anger, allow us to explain. By no means is AM promoting that men everywhere start masturbating to prevent prostate cancer. But several studies conducted in the last few years have indeed suggested that masturbation protects against prostate cancer. Actually, it was ejaculation, achieved by either sex or masturbation, that showed benefit.

Just how does ejaculation protect against prostate cancer? One theory is that it allows the prostate to clear itself of carcinogens. In other words, masturbation may literally clean your pipes.

How to perform: Yeah, nice try -- that’s for you to figure out. But as far as frequency is concerned, we can give you an estimate for that. According to the largest study of its kind, a 2004 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, to gain any protective benefit against prostate cancer, more than 12 ejaculations per month (i.e., masturbating or having sex every other day) was necessary. What’s more, each increase of three ejaculations per week was associated with a 15% decrease in prostate cancer risk.

The website recommends that you don't use disease prevention to sell the idea of more sex to your girlfriend/wife, but I reckon it's ripe for the picking... :thumbleft:

Other more boring things...

3- Go dragon boat racing
How it works: It’s no secret that aerobic exercise is one of the most powerful preventers of disease. As human beings, we are meant to be active. After all, exercise improves circulation, boosts the immune system and increases energy levels. But nowadays, finding the time and motivation to exercise can be tricky. The solution then is to combine exercise with fun. So, why not get involved in an activity where you and 20 other paddlers race giant boats named after dragons? Sounds pretty awesome.

4- Eat a big bowl of cereal in front of Saturday morning sports
How it works: There’s no arguing that Frosted Flakes taste great, but it’s not exactly the healthiest breakfast cereal. So, if you’re looking to find a fun way to prevent prostate cancer, opt for a cereal that’s high in flax and try substituting cow’s milk with soy. Both flax and soy contain active ingredients that fight prostate cancer.

I was going to be aiming more along the lines of "you should be helping me prevent it... :)"

Though I'd probably get told to go dragon boating, eat tomatoes and eat flax.... :(

Dont forget the by product of #2 is also a fantastistic exfoliating product for the lady of the house.

I'm sure the Ponds institute did a study on it.
