Eat these delicious foods and happily defend your prostate
The most common prostate diseases are chronic prostatitis and prostatic hyperplasia, which are common and difficult to treat in men, and seriously affect the quality of life. Try a happy way to protect your prostate while eating.
Pumpkin seed
An experiment in the United States found that giving pumpkin seed extracts to patients with prostate hypertrophy did reduce the frequency of frequent urination and improve other symptoms. Pumpkin seeds are also the best source of vitamin E, which can resist aging.
Soybean
Soybeans contain phytohormones that are beneficial to women, and are also a great food for men. Japanese men who often eat soy products have a lower risk of developing prostate cancer than men in Western countries. Soybeans are also effective in improving bone loss in men. After a man reaches the age of 60, bone loss begins, which is as severe as in menopausal women. Eating more soybeans can supplement lecithin. Lecithin has been proven to be associated with short-term memory and learning ability.
Seafood
Seafood can enhance sexual ability. Male semen contains a large amount of zinc. When zinc is insufficient in the body, it can affect the quantity and quality of sperm. Oysters, shrimp, and crabs in seafood are rich in zinc. A small oyster is almost equal to a person's daily zinc requirement (15 milligrams). Zinc is an important disease-resistant element in the prostate and can affect the function of anti-inflammatory cells. Oysters are rich in glycogen or taurine, and also have the effect of improving liver function, nourishing and strengthening the body.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes contain two important ingredients: rich in vitamin C and lycopene.
Vitamin C: The quality and quantity of sperm in men are declining after the age of 24. If there is an anti aging drug that can revitalize aging sperm, it is vitamin C. Vitamin C can also produce bone collagen and strengthen blood vessels.
Lycopene: It has the function of "dredging" the glands and preventing prostate diseases. It also has strong antioxidant effects.
Minerals: Potassium is the most abundant mineral in tomatoes, which helps expel salt from the blood and has the function of lowering blood pressure.
The sour taste of tomatoes can promote gastric secretion and help digest proteins.
How to eat: Eating raw can obtain more vitamin C; Eating ripe can obtain more lycopene because it is fat soluble.
Apple
A recent foreign study found that apple has another added benefit: long-term consumption can treat chronic prostatitis in men.
Chronic prostatitis is a common disease in adult men. Due to poor clinical treatment, it has been a major problem for patients and doctors. However, in recent years, doctors have found clinically that eating more apples can have an effective conditioning effect, alleviate the symptoms of chronic prostatitis, and reduce recurrence. This is mainly because the zinc content in apples is very high.
In patients with chronic prostatitis, the zinc content in the prostate fluid is significantly lower than in normal individuals, and it is difficult to improve during treatment. Only when the prostatitis is cured can the zinc content return to normal. In the past, doctors used to like to let patients take zinc containing drugs, but this treatment method is not suitable for long-term use, and the drug dose is not easy to grasp. "Eating apples to supplement zinc not only has no side effects, but also is beneficial to the body's absorption and utilization, which is better than taking medicine.". After clinical use, it has become popular with most patients and has become a well-known "apple therapy".
For patients with chronic prostatitis, eating 2-3 apples a day can obtain relatively sufficient zinc, achieving the goal of synergistic treatment of prostatitis and preventing recurrence. Drinking apple juice or eating jam can be both acceptable.
Other foods
In addition, other foods with high zinc content, such as lean meat, eggs, peanuts, walnut kernels, sesame seeds, pine nuts, sunflower seeds, can also be selected according to personal taste.
