Interventional

Intervention Type : Behavioural
Intervention Description : Participants will each be randomly allocated to one of two physical activity interventions, and one of three nutritional interventions. Men will be asked to follow their allocated interventions for six months.

Physical activity interventions: 1. Brisk Walking - Walking at a brisk pace for 30 minutes, on at least 5 days a week, on top of your normal physical activity2. Physical Activity Control - Carrying on with your normal levels of physical activity, if you request physical activity advice, standard, publically available, information will be provided as per usual care

Nutritional interventions:1. Lycopene Supplement Capsules - Taking one lycopene capsule daily (this will be provided)2. Plant Based Diet - Eating as many portions of fruit and vegetables per day as you can, aiming for at least 5 daily portions. In addition, swapping dairy milk for non-dairy alternatives, for example soy milk, almond milk or rice milk, as often as you can3. Nutrition Control - Carrying on with usual diet, if you request nutritional advice, standard, publically available, information will be provided as per usual care

You may not be able to take part if:


1. Inability to give informed consent or unavailability for follow-up2. Being identified as unsuitable to participate following guidance of their clinician3. Co-morbidities which could prevent participation in the intervention (RCT only) ie. this could include uncontrolled congestive heart failure or angina, recent myocardial infarction or breathing difficulties requiring oxygen use or hospitalisation. Additionally, the use of a mobility aid other than a walking stick4. Allergies which would prevent participation in the intervention (RCT only) ie. allergy to lycopene5. Religious beliefs that constrain them from participating in any aspect of the intervention (RCT only)6. Any other additional reason for not being able to participate in any aspect of the intervention (RCT only)7. Current heavy consumers of the nutritional element of the intervention, as judged by the research team (RCT only) ie. those who have been taking lycopene supplements daily for more than three months or eat more than five portions of fruit and vegetables every single day8. Those who routinely exercise vigorously may not be suitable for the intervention (RCT only)
