It
amazes me how little most males know about prostate enlargement
which can lead to prostate cancer. If people read well known health
magazines regularly such as; Alive, Common Ground, Vista, Shared
Vision or Alternative Medicine, you will find educational articles
on how to avoid the problem by using preventative natural herbal
remedies such as Saw Palmetto combination tinctures and creams.
More than likely most males with urinary problems often will not
even tell their own wives about this problem. Often times after
checking with their medical doctor it is then discovered they
have developed prostate cancer, which is in turn treated with
surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. In many cases this can lead
to impotence which for many males (dependant on age) is almost
a "death sentence".
Common
Symptoms of Prostate Enlargement:
- hesitation
to initiate urination
- difficulty controlling the flow of urine
- pain and/or straining to maintain a stream of urine
- blood in the urine or semen
- a sensation of incomplete emptying of the bladder
- frequent urination (especially during the night)
- infection of the bladder
- pain or stiffness in the hips, thighs and lower back
- cystitis and kidney failure
Prostate
enlargement affects 75% of men by the age of 60 and more than
90% of men over the age of 65. Consumers searching for alternatives
to surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation are turning to herbal
remedies because they fear the potential erectile dysfunction
or the incontinence that can occur. To maintain prostate health,
the following foods should be consumed on a regular basis: certified
organic hemp, flax, pumpkin (high zinc), sunflower, and sesame
seeds chickpeas, pistachios, almonds, brazil nuts, walnuts cabbage
(all varieties), broccoli, kale spinach, swiss chard chickpeas,
lentils, beans, oatmeals, apples, onions, whole grain cereals
tomatoes, watermelon, papaya, grapefruit carrots, sweet potatoes,
turnip, corn cold water fish or fish oil
Food
to avoid are: hydrogenated fats, red meats, refined sugar, alcohol,
coffee, black tea, and soft drinks (with aspartame)
The
rate of testicular cancer in young men is rapidly increasing.
More patients are becoming interested in alternative treatment
such as; meditation, naturopathic medicine, herbal remedies, acupuncture,
and anti-cancer diets.
