Ten simple ways to save your prostate!
1. Ejaculate regularly. How to do it, you know what is good for you! Clearly, this allows the channel not being "clogged".
2. Lower your cholesterol level. In the body, cholesterol level is converted into testosterone. Based on observations, the enlarged prostate tissue have very high cholesterol content. Some doctors say they can ease the symptoms (if not successfully reduce the size of the prostate) by asking the patient to lowered total cholesterol in their blood to 200 mg / dl (milligrams of cholesterol per deciliter of blood) or less, as recommended by American Heart Association.
3. Reduce fat intake. Avoid fat-rich foods like red meat, dairy products and fried, says Dr. Goldberg. Limit servings of red meat dish, fish, or chicken no more than 90 grams a day.
4. Eating lots of vegetables. Male hormone levels are not so high in those who eat more vegetables, and it may explain why the CPD should not be found in cultures with a habit of eating more vegetables, she said. Goldberg.
5. Avoid zinc (mineral) deficiency. Patients with prostate disorders tend zinc (mineral) deficiency in their bodies, said Paul M. Block, MD, a urology specialist who opened a private practice in Phoenix. Recommended Dietary Allowance for zinc is 15 milligrams per day. Drinking a zinc supplement or eating foods rich in zinc such as oysters and herring, may be good for you. Cereals, grains, bran, milk, and legumes also contain this mineral.
6. Limit the food is very stimulating and alcohol. Both can increase the irritation of the bladder, especially if you suffer from BPH, says Dr. Block. Alcohol can hurt at all, because it can suppress the central nervous system that makes the muscles throughout the body become limp, including the muscles of the bladder. As a result, retained urine.
7. Do not sit too long. Sitting too long make your prostate being pressed too long, he said. Goldberg. If your job requires more sitting, get up and walk around for a while for your own good.
8. Avoid hold urine. If "You want to urinate often, people usually recommend you practice hold it as long as possible. This way of thinking is wrong, especially in this case. "You really can hurt yourself by holding on too long ", said Patrick C. Walsh, M.D., professor and chief of urology Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. "If the urine is retained too long, "You kidneys can be damaged. Go to the restroom once you feel you need to. ".
9. Exercise. Indeed, there is no sport that is specific to prostate health, but drinking lots of water, and sexual intercourse regularly can reduce the risk. What is clear, many doctors observed that the man with fit body rarely have prostate problems.
10. Bath. Sit in a tub of warm water for 20 minutes at least once a week, advises Dr.. Block. Warmth will seep into the pelvis and increases blood flow, reduces muscle tension and, hopefully also swelling.
