Summary of prostate disease recipes The prostate is the largest accessory gonad in the male genitalia. Its function is to produce prostate fluid and participate in reproductive metabolism.
Prostate gland is the "treasure land of feng shui" for men, and it is also the place where most men are "troubled". Prostate disease is a common disease that men cannot ignore. Prostate diseases, known as lower abdomen diseases of men, mainly include inflammation, hypertrophy, prostate adenoma, hyperplasia and cancer. Prostatitis is a common disease in young men, accounting for 25%~40% of adult male patients in urology. After the age of 55, men have different degrees of prostatic hypertrophy. Because of the slow course of the disease, the early symptoms are not obvious and are not easy to be taken seriously.
Dietetic principles
1. Limit the intake of fat: According to the research of scientists from many countries, the more high-fat foods you eat, the higher the incidence of prostate cancer. High-fat foods are harmful to the human body, so it is necessary to limit their intake.
2. Drink more water to promote urination: the flushing of urine on the urethra can not only help the excretion of prostate secretion, but also help prevent the occurrence of repeated infection.
3. Pay attention to selenium and zinc: selenium and zinc are two important trace minerals found in the blood of patients with prostate disease.
4. Other: In terms of diet, it can also supplement vitamin C and vitamin E in an appropriate amount, and improve symptoms by taking advantage of its antioxidant and free radical scavenging effects.
Diet taboos
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.
