Most men over the age of 50 are liable,
according to statistics, to get prostate cancer. For American men,
about 300,000 new cases are diagnosed each year, and some 35,000
men die of this disease annually. The numbers are increasing as
well. This article is all about simple ways of keeping your
prostrate healthy.

What is the problem?
The prostate is a chestnut-shaped gland and organ that sits right
|
|
below the bladder and is wrapped around the
urethra. Other than closing the urethra during
erection, the
prostate has nothing to do with a man’s urinary system.
The
prostate is needed for
ejaculation, as the
ejaculate passes through the same urethra as the urine does. The
prostate gland’s basic job is to add special fluid to the
sperm
before it exits the
penis during ejaculation.
This is why the
prostate sits below the bladder, and also why
prostate problems interfere with a man’s ability to urinate and to
have sex.
The
prostate is affected three ways:
1. infection
2. enlargement
3. cancer
What are the
problem’s symptoms?
For infection (called prostitis) there is a great deal of
pain, fever, and uninary problems. There are medicines and
conventional therapies,

enlargement of prostate gland

emptying of bowels.
Purely herbal.
Do not have any side
effects. |

however following the dietary rules below are
very beneficial for prostitis.
Enlargement (known as
BHP or
benign prostatic
hypertrophy) is a non-cancerous enlargement of the
prostate. The
symptoms are hesitancy in urinating, dribbling of urine before and
after urinating, frequent urination, straining to start the stream,
urgency of urination, and getting up several times at night to
urinate.
Cancer of the prostate symptoms are quite the same as BHP and many
men are quite unaware they have cancer of the
prostate, as there are
often no symptoms at all. A PSA test done every 6 months is now a
necessity for every man over 45.
What can be done about it?
Actually a lot.
Diet and stress appear to be the main culprits. Here
is a list of “do eat” and “do not eat” that is quite time tested.
Eat the following
lots of fresh vegetables and fruits, legumes (peas, beans, and
lentils). fresh fish. And especially fish from cold ocean waters
(such as salmon, sardines, mackerel, and cod) have large amounts of
essential fatty acids. whole grain in moderation, rather than
refined (white) breads, pasta, crackers, rice, and other grains.
Dont eat the following
fatty meats, fatty meats, excess of salts, hydrogenated oils, such
as those found in margarine, donuts, cookies, cakes, other
desserts, potato chips, and other deep-fried foods. canned,
packaged, or otherwise processed foods, sodas, alcohol, black teas
(which includes most iced teas), or coffee, and dairy foods,
especially if they have been pasteusterised.
Are there Special Foods that Can Cure the
Cancer?
Perhaps; and this is still a subject open to debate, but chilli
peppers have been shown to inhibit the cancerous cells of the
prostate. There was a study done recently at UCLA in California
which indicate as much.
Also there are several herbs and food additives known for their
beneficial action on the
prostate. They are:
•Saw palmetto: This herb is now well-known to shrink enlarged
prostates and to lower PSA..
•Green tea: The catechins found in green tea are the likely
“medicines” for the
prostate, although it is not known exactly how they prevent or
combat existing
prostate cancer. The usual dose is no less than 6 cups per
day.
•Pygeum: Pygenum has been used to treat diseases of the prostate
and urinary tract for many years.
•Nettle: The Nettle is rich in vitamin C, iron, and other proven
nutrients that bolster the
prostate.
•Kelp: This is seaweed, and plentiful in iodine and contains
minerals that help to prevent and treat
prostate cancer. Asian men, with high doses of kelp in their
diet (than American men) have a much lower incidence of any
prostate problem.
If you follow the above you will have and keep a healthy
prostrate.
