                        WASHINGTON (Reuters) - 
Comprehensive lifestyle changes 
including a better diet and more exercise can lead not only to 
a better physique, but also to swift and dramatic changes at 
the genetic level, U.S. researchers said on Monday.                        
                        </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080617/hl_nm/genes_lifestyle_refile_dc"><P>
 In a small study, the researchers tracked 30 men with 
low-risk <SPAN id="lw_1213666199_0" class="yshortcuts">prostate cancer</SPAN> who decided against conventional 
medical treatment such as surgery and radiation or <SPAN id="lw_1213666199_1" class="yshortcuts">hormone 
therapy</SPAN>.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080617/hl_nm/genes_lifestyle_refile_dc"><P>
 The men underwent three months of major lifestyle changes, 
including eating a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, <SPAN id="lw_1213666199_2" class="yshortcuts">whole 
grains</SPAN>, legumes and soy products, moderate exercise such as 
walking for half an hour a day, and an hour of daily <SPAN id="lw_1213666199_3" class="yshortcuts">stress 
management methods</SPAN> such as meditation.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080617/hl_nm/genes_lifestyle_refile_dc"><P>
 As expected, they lost weight, lowered their blood pressure 
and saw other health improvements. But the researchers found 
more profound changes when they compared prostate biopsies 
taken before and after the lifestyle changes.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/080FC240-66A6-43FA-AAFD-C19A60F9981B/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
