BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) is also known as enlarged prostate.As your prostate grows, it applies more and more pressure inward and squeezes the urethra. This causes the urinary difficulties associated with BPH.Preventing your prostate from enlarging is the safest thing you can do to help protect the health of your bladder and other vital organs.
But by the time you reach the age of 40, your body starts creating more of an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. This enzyme triggers the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). And overabundance of DHT is the main cause of an enlarged prostate.These follwing nutrients help you in your fight against BPH.
Beta Sitosterol,an amazing phytonutrient, has the uncanny ability to help block the action of the enzyme 5-alpha-redutase. Our diets only deliver only miniscule amont of this nutrient,hence it is best to take it in form of supplement.
Selenium,lycopene-two powerful antioxidants are another super nutrients that have ability to prevent BPH.Saw Palmetto is already well known as a prostrate protector.
soy—one of the most popular foods that is loaded with healthy Isoflavones-a rich nutrient that works wonders for your prostate.
Pumpkin Seeds also provide powerful prostate protection.Also Zinc and Copper are two essential trace elements that help to keep your prostrate healthy.
