Prostatitis Diet
Healthy Prostate Diet
As men get older, it just seems to be a matter of time before their prostate starts giving them trouble and affecting their health. By the time they reach retirement age, most men will have experienced hypertrophy of the prostate, a condition in which the prostate gland grows putting increased pressure on the urethra. This condition leads to difficulty urinating and increases the risk of bladder infections as well as other types of kidney damage. Thankfully, there are many foods out there that can help offset any potential prostate problems if you choose to include them into your diet. Many of these prostate friendly foods are probably already part of your diet.
Foods for prostate health:
Lycopene: lycopene is a plant pigment that is known for its ability to promote wellness and battle cancer. It has also been found to support a strong immune system and support prostate health in men. Tomatoes, water melons, red grapefruit, papaya and red berries are all excellent sources of lycopene. While fresh tomatoes are good also, researchers have found that the lycopene in cooked tomatoes is actually more readily absorbed into the body.
Quercetin: Quercetin can be called a flavonoid’s flavanoid since it helps form the backbone of other cancer combating flavanoids. Aside from helping fight off prostate cancer, quercetin also has anti-inflammatory properties that may help bring relief from an inflamed prostate gland. Apples, black tea, Green Tea, onions, raspberries, red wine, red grapes, citrus fruits, broccoli, cherries and most leafy green vegetables are all great sources of quercetin. This flavanoid can also be found in honey and the sap of the eucalyptus and tea tree flowers.
Aside from the two ingredient mentioned above, a healthy prostate is also dependant on a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, Vitamin E, and plenty of water to help flush the bladder.
Things to avoid
To keep your prostate in tip top shape you should avoid caffeine, alcohol and spicy foods. Keep your weight down will also help keep your prostate healthy and happy.
