Default Prostate Problems Natural Solutions

Natural solutions help prostate problems

by Dr. David Jockers

(NaturalNews) The prostate gland is a key player in the male reproductive system in that it secretes a good % of the makeup of male sperm. The gland is about the size of a walnut and sits just below the bladder in men. A common health problem today is prostate inflammation and cancer. Fortunately, this disorder is completely preventable and reversible through a healthy lifestyle.

Common symptoms associated with prostate enlargement include frequent urination, urinary urgency, difficulty starting, reduced force of the urine stream, terminal dribbling, incomplete emptying of the bladder and the inability to urinate at all. It is believed that most men experience some level of prostate enlargement by the age of 45 but many do not have symptoms. By the age of 60, it is believed that 80% of all men experience some sort of urinary problems due to prostate enlargement.

The prostate gland was designed to filter toxins and impurities out of the semen to produce its finest sperm product for conception and reproduction of a strong healthy species. The most common impurity in our systems today are xenoestrogens or man-made estrogen mimicking molecules. These chemicals disrupt the normal male estrogen-testosterone balance and lead to unwanted prostatic growth. As with any degenerative disease, oxidative stress from excess free radicals and inflammatory agents are also critical factors in prostatitis and prostatic carcinomas.

An anti-inflammatory diet rich in phytonutrients from fresh fruit and vegetables is critical. Eliminating all processed grains, meats, & dairy products is essential. Load the diet up with good fat sources such as avocados, olive oil, coconut oil, nuts, & seeds. Grass-fed and free-range meat products are an option. Use natural anti-inflammatory based herbs such as cinnamon, oregano, turmeric, ginger, garlic, & rosemary.

The prostate depends on a healthy amount of circulation to bring fresh blood and oxygen in this region. A sedentary lifestyle creates congestion and stagnation in the prostate. Certain population groups are at a higher risk than others. These are people who spend longer periods in a seated position with increased pressure from automobile vibrations. This includes truck drivers, bus drivers, motorcycle riders, pilots, & people with long daily commutes. Another group at risk for prostatic problems includes bicycle riders since they experience increased pressure in the groin as they ride.

Certain nutritional compounds are particularly good for preventing and reversing inflammation of the prostate. Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, broccoli sprouts, kale, collard greens, & cabbage contain Indole -3-Carbonyl, isothiocyanates and sulforaphane which helps remove excess estrogens and other toxins from the body. These phytonutrients also destroy cancerous cells. Lycopene is an anti-oxidant normally found in the prostate but it declines with age and poor lifestyle. Fill your lycopene stores with grapefruits, tomatoes, red peppers, gogi berries, & raspberries.

Zinc plays a critical role in enzymatic function, immunity, & reproductive health. Prostate issues are very commonly associated with zinc deficiencies. Eat pumpkin seeds which are rich in zinc and have been shown to diminish the triggering of prostate cell multiplication. Drink anti-oxidant rich teas such as ginger, saw palmetto, and decaf green tea for an extra dose of anti-oxidants and phytochemicals to assist the body in the detoxification cycles necessary for a healthy prostate.

Prostate Health Action Steps:

1) Normalize your vitamin D levels in the 70-100 ng/ml range with full body sun exposure, and/or emulsified vitamin D supplements.
2)Follow a phytonutrient rich anti-inflammatory diet
3)Use a high quality omega 3 supplement
4)Do quarterly detox protocols using anti-oxidants & herbs
5)Get regular exercise (not including biking)
6)Avoid plastics, deodorants, shampoos and anything else with xenoestrogenic substances.

Solid advice! One thing I find frustrating though is how, many times people/articles speak about BPH and then everyone takes it as advice for prostatitis, but they are seperate conditions.. prostatitis is inflamation of the prostate, BPH is benign growth or the prostate.. I believe they are caused by different issues.. However, many of the lifestyle/diet changes are similar I think its important to make the distinction.. For example, many people use Saw Palmetto for prostatitis, I did.. but I dont believe it has much use in prostatitis, but it would be good for BPH.. etc.

i will i dont know how far you want to take this but if you want to write off fungus as a cause i would drop fruit for a month and tomatoes. no simple carbs at all. meat of any kind. i would do organic chicken and fish and raw veggies with olive oil and lemon juice. it does suck for the first two weeks but then it is smooth rolling. i love it now and it is simple. if it is not fungus then add sweet fruits. this diet will aid the body in recovery from toxic over load.

i am now on fivelac the probiotic the new threelac after a month of dieting from zero simple carbs zero sugar.

Diet is a tricky subject. There are many different view points, so you will have to do some research and come to your own conclusion.

For me, I do my best to stay away from gluten, soy and cows dairy products. They are all common allergens and implicated in many health conditions. Soy has been known to lower testosterone in men. Gluten can cause leaky gut and other intestinal issues. Dairy has been implicated in various auto-immune diseases etc. I also try to stay away from simple carbs like pasta, bread, white rice. I also cut out tomatoes/tomato products a while ago and feel that made a big difference for me.

I eat meat (chicken, beef, turkey) and fish (salmon, halibut) but I always try and get the highest quality I can find (organic, free range, local) unless I eat out, but even when I eat out I try to go to restaurants that have organic meat.

I eat according to Ayurveda for the most part + a little of my own advice. According to Ayurveda im a Vata/Pitta so that means I need sweet foods, I need to avoid too much spicy food and too much airy foods like salad. I definitely notice problems with spicy foods like mustard, salsa, chilles, so I avoid spicy food in general. Foods like salads are 'airy' in nature and thus increase that quality in the body, beans are the same.

My sense is that, most people with an inflammatory condition would be helped by following a Pitta calming diet. (https://www.thekeytoitall.com/Diet-Pitta.html)

Pitta is the main dosha implicated in inflammation.. so you want to avoid spicy foods which increase it, stimulating foods like caffeine, chocolate.. and you favor foods which are more cooling and soothing and sweet. Coconut, watermelon, cooked oats, rice etc.

After doing a lot of my own research into diet, I believe in the Ayurvedic system. According to Ayurveda we are all unique individuals with different dietary needs.. so these blanket diets where they tell everyone to avoid this or that will never work for everyone. So far it seems to work very well.

Also.. with the whole anti-candida diet craze.. im not sure I believe in it.. nor does my ayurvedic teacher. He was saying how, people go on these anti-candida diets and cut out all fruit, sugars etc. but they are basically depriving there system of a needed nutrient, and thus causing further imbalance. Candida, bacteria etc cannot grow in a balanced, healthy body. You want to balance your diet, lifestyle, mental state and then candida will no longer be a problem. Theres even a theory that candida overgrow in search of sugar! Not sure if I believe that or not but.. Clearly you dont wan to overdo the sugar, and you want to eat the right sources, and according to your body system/type. But I think completely cutting out all carbs/fruit etc. is not wise. If you do, only do that for a short period of time. Diet is a fine tuning process imo and not something where cut out whole food groups. Not all sugar is bad. Not all meat is bad. Each of them is good for one of us and bad for the other, you gotta figure out what works for you.

Excellent article, please do not be offended I am only quoting a portion of the article. I understand the need for Zinc in our diet but look at how long it took to learn that one. I am a firm believer in the adding of minerals and colloids to our daily lives.
