Prostate Enlargement

After the age of 40, many men arc diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as prostate enlargement. Symptoms include an increased need to urinate and a decreased force in the urine stream. Prostate enlargement is caused by hormonal changes associated with ageing. Dietary changes and herbal remedies are often effective treatments. As with all medical conditions, see your doctor for an accurate diagnosis.

Eat healthful fats
A diet high in cholesterol and fat increases production of the hormone dihydrotestosterone, which stimulates prostate growth. Reduce all the saturated fats, hydrogenated fats, and polyunsaturated oils in your diet, and substitute the healthy fats found in extra virgin olive oil, raw nuts and seeds, avocados, and cold-water fish such as salmon and trout.
