Many men think that problems like an enlarged prostate are unavoidable.
While many older men do have such problems, doctors state that some simple things like creating a healthy eating lifestyle and getting regular exercise can improve your overall prostate health.
Creating an Eating Lifestyle
Doctors don’t want to focus so much on specific foods that help or harm your prostate.
Rather they are offering advice to create better eating patterns. Some of those patterns include:
Go heavy on eating bright, deeply colored fruits and vegetables.
You should eat at least five servings daily.
Eat whole grains like pasta, cereals and bread instead of their white, processed counterparts.
Don’t eat as much red meat, lamb, port and stay away from processed meats like deli meats and hot dogs.
Go for things like fish, skinless poultry, eggs and beans.
Eat nuts, avocados and avoid trans fats that you find in packaged and fast foods.
Cut down on salt, sugar and sweetened drinks, including fruit juices.
Get Moving
There is a relationship between physical activity and BPH symptoms.
Those where were more active had fewer symptoms.
Doctors state that even low to medium physical activity will lead to improvement.
Research also determined that those who exercise more have less erectile dysfunction.
The numbers show men who log in three hours of rigorous outdoor work or who run for an hour and a half a week reduced their risk of ED by 20% over men who didn’t exercise.
An Italian study that got more than 200 sedentary men experiencing chronic prostatitis moving shows that those who did aerobic exercise had less anxiety, discomfort and depression at the end of 18 weeks than the other group that didn’t do aerobic exercise.
Conclusion
Your prostate is just like any other part of your body.
It needs good food and exercise to operate correctly.
Improving your diet and exercising regularly won’t hurt you and could reduce your risk of prostate problems as you age.
