Yoga<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/benign-prostatic-hyperplasia\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20370087\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, researchers discovered that yoga could improve muscle strength and ultimately help strengthen pelvic muscles to improve prostate health. Here are some yoga poses you can try out if you have BPH or enlarged prostate:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Hero pose<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The hero pose is a seated position that helps release pelvic tension around the prostate. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To do this pose, you need to kneel and lower your bottom. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then, rest your hands on your thighs with the palms down. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try to sit as straight as possible and hold the pose for up to 5 minutes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Cobbler pose<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cobbler pose is a simple pose where you sit on the ground with your feet together and your knees apart. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The challenge is to spread your knees away from each other while keeping the bottom of your feet touching.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Kegel exercises<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These exercises are also designed to strengthen the muscles of your pelvic floor. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although Kegel exercises are typically recommended for women, men with prostate issues may also benefit from these exercises.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can tighten your pelvis by urinating and trying to stop midstream to gain control over your bladder.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you can do that, you can focus on the muscles you used to hold and release and repeat the same movement for strengthening.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Regular exercises<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Doing traditional exercises can help you reduce your weight and ultimately help lower the risks of prostate problems. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, because exercise can balance your hormones, it can reduce BPH symptoms and other prostate-related illnesses.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you are diagnosed with an enlarged prostate or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or just want a healthy prostate, there are ways to improve your prostate health naturally.\u00a0 Something as simple as exercising can improve your prostate health and prevent diseases that could potentially be fatal for men.
