How to Keep Your Prostate Healthy
Today, I would like to talk about prostate and related diseases.
The prostate is a male genital gland located just below the bladder.
It is located behind the pubis, under the bladder, just in front of the anus and rectum.
A prostate is a place that stores and secretes prostatic fluid, which is a slightly alkaline milky liquid.
Semen contains prostate fluid, and the alkalinity of semen has a role in prolonging the lifespan of sperm by helping neutralize the acid in the vaginal duct.
Semen alkalization is mainly accomplished by the secretion of seminal vesicles.
The fluid from the prostate is excreted with most of the sperm in the first ejaculation.
Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate or surrounding tissues caused by an infection of unknown cause.
This disease mainly appears in the young and elderly, and it is said that 50% of adult men will experience symptoms of prostatitis at least once in their lifetime.
Almost all men experience prostatitis at least once.
Symptoms of Prostatitis
Let us discuss the symptoms of prostatitis.
Men with prostatitis cannot urinate during ejaculation.
Also, he finds it difficult to urinate in the morning, even when he has an erection.
You may experience a weakening of the urine stream along with a feeling of residual urination and decreased urine output.
There are many different causes of prostate disease.
Excessive intake of meat, fat, and carbohydrates can be the cause.
Processed foods and additives, color-additives in the foods, painkillers, and overuse of medicines can contribute to prostate disease.
We live under stress all the time. Stress can also be a trigger to cause various types of diseases including prostate disease.
So, let’s take a closer look at the foods that support prostate health.
First, the food that helps prostate health is tomatoes.
Tomatoes contain a component called tocopherol, which is great for strengthening the prostate and preventing cancer.
Second, the food that helps prostate health is green tea.
Green tea prevents cancer, high blood pressure, and heart disease.
In particular, green tea is rich in catechins, which exert anti-cancer effects.
Third, the food that helps prostate health is soybean.
Soybeans contain saponins and isoflavones, which have anticancer properties.
Fourth, the food that helps prostate health is watermelon.
Watermelon contains citrulline, which is said to help promote urine excretion.
Additionally, it helps blood circulation by preventing the accumulation of foreign substances in the arteries.
Eggplant is said to be beneficial for patients with an enlarged prostate when consumed once a day.
Sixth, the food that helps prostate health is garlic.
Garlic can help with prostatitis and cystitis.
Let’s take a look at the nutrients that support prostate health.
It is very important to take a multivitamin and mineral.
In addition, carotene intake is important, and carotene helps normal reproductive function and inhibits oxidation.
Increases the number of immune cells and increases immunity.
Vitamin C has typical antiviral and antibacterial properties.
Zinc prevents waste accumulation in the prostate duct and helps prevent prostate disease.
Vitamin E has an antioxidant role in nutrients including vitamins A, C, E, and selenium.
Vitamin E helps prevent free radicals from damaging cells or DNA through oxidative action, enhances reproductive (sexual) function, and promotes hormone secretion.
Taking garlic powder and vitamin E together is also beneficial for prostate health.
Garlic contains a large amount of germanium and selenium, which can help prevent prostate cancer.
It is necessary to consume whole protein foods such as soybeans among plant proteins.
Plant-based protein has the potential to reduce the risk of developing prostate, breast, colorectal, and lung cancer, along with supporting prostate health.
Dietary fiber contains a substance called IP6 (Inositol 6 phosphate) that helps prevent prostate cancer.
IP6 blocks angiogenic action like in prostate tumors.
Saw palmetto is a nutrient that is representative of prostate disease.
In addition, it has a role in regulating male hormone levels, diuretic action, increasing uric acid excretion, helping to stop bleeding wounds, and reducing the size of enlarged prostate.
