An orgasm a day can keep prostate cancer risk at bay

source: Times of India

A recent study indicates that men who ejaculate every day have a lower risk of prostate cancer than men who do not ejaculate regularly.

Statistically, men who ejaculated more than 21 times a month had a 22 % lower risk of getting the disease.

However, no specific reasons for the findings were given.

According to the World Cancer Research Fund International, in 2012, there were more than 1.1 million cases of prostate cancer, making it accountable for 8 percent of all new cancer cases, and 15 percent of cancers in men.
