What to Do and Not Do with Enlarged Prostate | Lifestyle Modifications

An enlarged prostate (also known as Benign prostatic hyperplasia) is a relatively common condition that increases in prevalence as men get older. Certain lifestyle and day-to-day activities (including use of certain medications and consumption of certain foods) can influence the growth of the prostate, worsen associated symptoms of an enlarged prostate, and possibly increase the risk of prostate cancer. In this lesson, we discuss these various lifestyle choices and strategies in order to prevent and reduce symptoms of an enlarged prostate and possibly reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

I'm surprised this video mentioned nothing regarding having chronically high insulin levels from eating carbohydrate rich processed foods and the risk of BPH. Multiple NIH studies show the causal relationship between BPH and high insulin levels.

The cause of prostate enlargement is unknown, but it's believed to be linked to hormonal changes as a man gets older. The balance of hormones in your body changes as you get older and this may cause your prostate gland to grow.

I think I have tried all this and more. At 74 I concluded most of the prostate formulas make enlarged prostate issues worse. Zinc may help if you are low on it or have an absorption issue. What helps me like a silver bullet is Serrapeptase 240, 000 SPU and plenty of organic Hemp oil, both 3 times a day. That combo is the only thing that works like magic for me.

Very helpful JJ thank you for your time and effort

Dr. Berg says that consuming quality grass fed red meats is fine and contain Zinc. Zinc is an import element for the prostate. I agree with reducing salt, sugar and increasing fiber.

Kegel exercises are worst thing to do with enlarged prostate. We have to do reverse Kegels, we have to release the muscles not make them tight! My pelvic floor therapist told me.

[RogerBranch]

Good content, thank you. I have a question about eggs. Are eggs Okay, or is the arachidonic acid they contain a problem for the prostate.?

Thank you for this information. I was diagnosed with BPH in 2018 at the age of 48. Although, after using High doses of prednisone, my nocturine became out of control and that was at the age of 29. I wonder if that had something to do with the BPH later in life? Also, I’m drinking 32 ounces of water every day… Is it good for the prostate?

No mention of diary products and cutting them out of your diet as high levels of oestrogen are linked to prostrate enlargement.

[kevintownsel]

What about vitamin D and Iron chewable supplements

[nnekauche]

Your generosity towards my prostate cancer is incomparable, you assured me of getting healed just within 14days after I use your herbal medication and it was so . Thanks a lot Dr Igho, i will keep letting the world know about your good work and about your YouTube channel

[benjaminfernandes]

Can one take alcohol if one is suspected having enlarged prostate.

[kernakoni]

Way too many commercials, especially for such a short video

[rodolfoquidem]

If we follow these advices then we don't have something to eat..I believe in moderation in everything we eat, it doesn't cause harm

[SirGawainDF]

Not to eat red meat, cheese or yoghurt??? But I want to put on some muscle! Even if I'm 63 now, I still want to do resistance training, look more fit and youthful. How to build muscle mass without high-protein diet? Everybody knows that high quality protein is in red meat and eggs.

Can i do kegel exercises while i am in erect state or almost erect state i have the impresion that i feel the kegels better, do you think is just my impression?
Do you think i can hurt myself in any way(my prostate) if i am doing that?

[TasmanianTigerGrrr]

IF a possible cause be age and hormonal changes would testosterone therapy be a solution
