Feeding the Prostate

Ideally, people would get all the nutrients and vitamins they need
from food. Unfortunately many people start with a nutrient deficit
because our food- products are designed to produce good-looking items
that don't spoil on the way to the consumer instead of nutrient-
packed, healthful foods. That's why most people must turn to
supplements. Liquid and natural supplements are much easier for our
bodies to process, and are more easily absorbed. Supplements that
specifically benefit the prostate include zinc, kelp, nettles, green
teas, pygeum, saw palmetto, and avena sativa. Zinc: This mineral is a
major component of ejaculate. Zinc strengthens the immune system, is
vital for strong bones and reproduction, and regulates both sugar and
blood cholesterol. Kelp: A seaweed rich in minerals and iodine that
help to prevent and treat prostate cancer. Nettles: Contain iron,
vitamin C, and other nutrients that can strengthen the prostate. It
can be taken in a variety of forms. Green tea: Catechins found in
green tea may help the prostate, although it is not yet proven.
Pygeum: This herb has been used to treat diseases of the prostate and
urinary tract in Europe for many years. It has been shown to shrink
enlarged prostates in many studies. Saw palmetto: This herb is
believed to shrink enlarged prostates and to lower PSA. Avena sativa:
Rich in calcium mucin and silicic acid, avena sativa tones the
nervous system Dietary recommendations for the prostate are to eat
lots of fresh vegetables and fruits, legumes (peas, beans, and
lentils) and fresh fish. Fish contains essential fatty acids the body
uses to produce prostaglandins, which keep the immune system strong.
Eat whole grain in moderation, rather than refined, and choose
organically grown foods whenever it's possible. Avoid fatty meats,
since high-fat diets have been linked to prostate cancer, other
cancers, heart disease, and numerous other medical problems. Stay
away from refined sugars, salt, hydrogenated oils, canned, packaged,
or otherwise processed foods. Skip sodas, alcohol, black teas, and
coffee. Stop consumption of dairy foods, since these products is
closely linked in the US to prostate cancer. Lastly, reduce stress,
particularly chronic stress, since it is especially hard on the
prostate. Stress can restrict the flow of blood and energy. This
stress related damage sets the stage for enlargement of the prostate
and possibly cancer. General lifestyle also contributes to the health
of the prostate. Exercise promotes circulation and relieves tension
in the body, which enhances the odds of a healthy prostate.
