Prostate is one of the most important organs in male body and also one of the most neglected parts. There are basically two diseases associated with prostate – enlarged prostate and prostate cancer. In this article let us lay out some of the things you can do to keep your prostate healthy.
Water It is very important to drink as much water as your body requires in order to keep yourself hydrated. A dehydrated body is home to many diseases specially urinary tract infections which can result in prostate problems as well.
Eat Soy Some researchers are of the view that an enlarged prostate is the result of a disturbed ratio of estrogen to testosterone in the body. Soy is a great natural food to bring back the ratio to its normal level.
Abstain From Alcohol Apart from causing other health concerns alcohol also diminishes zinc and vitamin b6 levels in the body which are imperative for healthy functioning of prostate.
Dietary Changes Include fresh fruits and vegetables in your daily diet and avoid having junk or processed food as it is difficult to digest and puts extra pressure on the digestive system.
Physical Activities Along with giving your body sufficient amount of rest you should also exercise regularly as it helps in improving your digestive system, immunity levels as well as ensure proper blood supply to all parts of the body. Some of the exercises are specially designed to prevent an enlarged prostate.
Herbs There are certain herbs which are helpful in shrinking an enlarged prostate. Some of these herbs include saw palmetto and stinging nettle. They are easily available in pill or capsule form and are free from any kind of side effects.
In regards to soy, I guess it's a good thing to be a vegetarian as most meals include soy in them. I'm not a vegetarian but I try to eat a healthy diet full of fruits and vegetables. I have also cut out soft drinks from my diet and drink primarily water.
Hi friend, There are several techniques you can perform to shrink prostate glands. Because drugs and surgical procedures is not recommended in most cases, simply eating healthier and relaxing are your best bets as you wait for your prostate to shrink.
Thanks
