Prostatitis, as the number one male disease of male friends, has seriously affected the physical and mental health of male friends. There are many reasons for prostatitis. For example, if our daily diet is not healthy, it will cause prostatitis. Therefore, we must pay attention to daily diet when treating prostatitis. So, what do you usually eat for prostatitis?
1. High quality protein is key to the treatment of prostatitis: protein is an important raw material for men to synthesize semen. It is good for men to supplement high quality protein in their daily diet. Eat more fish and shrimp, lean meat, poultry eggs and bean products. It is better to cook by boiling, steaming, burning and stir-frying, which can avoid the nutrient loss caused by high temperature.
2. Eat more fresh fruits, vegetables, coarse grains and soybean products, eat more honey to keep defecation smooth, and eat beef and eggs moderately; Take seed food, such as pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc., daily, and the quantity is unlimited; Taking bean food, mung beans can be boiled into Congee and eaten after cooling. It is especially suitable for those with hot bladder and astringent urination pain.
3. Chicken: A piece of chicken breast is enough to provide the selenium needed by the human body in a day. Statistics show that men who supplement enough selenium daily have a much lower probability of dying from prostate cancer.
There are taboos in the diet of prostatitis
1. Prostatitis patients cannot smoke and drink. They may understand that smoking can cause impotence, but they do not know that smoking can also increase prostate congestion, thus aggravating the symptoms of acute and chronic prostatitis. Drinking alcohol can expand the blood vessels of organs and increase the amount of blood perfusion, so it can also aggravate the congestion of the prostate and lead to the recurrence of cured prostatitis.
2. Spicy food should not be eaten for prostatitis: pungent food such as scallions, raw garlic, chili and pepper can increase the taste of dishes, but can also cause vasodilation and organ congestion. For patients with prostatitis, these foods should not be eaten, otherwise it will lead to chronic prostatitis.
3. Some meat can't be eaten by prostatitis: dogs, cattle, mutton, seafood, etc. These meat foods are mostly considered to be aphrodisiac and invigorating dishes, while traditional Chinese medicine believes that prostatitis is caused by dampness, so the effect of aphrodisiac drugs used to promote dampness may not be as good as people expect. In addition, after years of clinical observation, eating more of the above meat can aggravate the disease.
4. For benign prostatic hyperplasia, gaoliang is thick, spicy and sweet, which often causes endogenous dampness and heat and inhibits the circulation of qi and blood. Therefore, the elderly with BPH should pay attention to light diet.
