in this video i'll uncover how to takeĀ control of your prostate health naturallyĀ Ā
without the use of either drugs or surgeryĀ Ā
hey wellness warrior i'm dr zyrowski and everyoneĀ knows that as a man when you age your prostateĀ Ā
health can take a dive now this video not onlyĀ pertains to men but also women simply becauseĀ Ā
men do not take care of themselves yes i workĀ clinically and i see so many men who have theirĀ Ā
significant others drag them into the clinic andĀ say he's got a problem and we need help with itĀ Ā
but the man will just of course let their healthĀ completely crash so let's go ahead and dive inĀ Ā
and talk about how you can improve your prostateĀ health naturally now the prostate's a glandĀ Ā
in the male reproductive system and is locatedĀ just below the bladder now because the prostateĀ Ā
wraps around part of the urethra where the urineĀ passes through an enlarged prostate can cause aĀ Ā
lot of issues with urination now this is one ofĀ the significant things that shows up if you haveĀ Ā
a prostate issue and when the prostate growsĀ due to a multiplication in the prostate cellsĀ Ā
it may push against the bladder and the urethraĀ making you feel like you need to urinate evenĀ Ā
though the bladder isn't full and it preventsĀ urine from flowing naturally now the changesĀ Ā
that occur with male sex hormones as part of theĀ aging process plays a huge role in the enlargementĀ Ā
of the prostate because you're probably wonderingĀ why does this happen right well males have a 50Ā Ā
chance of having what's known as bph it standsĀ for benign prostatic hypertrophy by the age ofĀ Ā
60 years of age and a 90 chance by the ageĀ of 85 years old so it's highly likely it'sĀ Ā
going to happen to you for all the men out thereĀ now androgens like testosterone affect prostateĀ Ā
growth and the prostate converts testosterone intoĀ something known as dht which is another powerfulĀ Ā
androgen and dhc stimulates cell growth in theĀ tissue that lines the prostate gland and preventsĀ Ā
prostatic cell death now the estrogen present inĀ men may also play a role in prostate enlargementĀ Ā
and as men age testosterone levels drop theĀ proportion of estrogen increases and it canĀ Ā
trigger prostate growth and this is where theĀ problem lies now risk factors that can increaseĀ Ā
the risk of an enlarged prostate include theseĀ okay so this is something you have to watch outĀ Ā
for and if you're suffering from these you have toĀ of course do the opposite of what causes that okayĀ Ā
so the first risk factor is going to be diabetesĀ and anything that's spiking insulin okay so ifĀ Ā
this is you of course you want to follow aĀ sugar-free diet a low-carb diet and work onĀ Ā
keeping your blood sugar and your insulin levelsĀ low obesity is another huge factor the more fatĀ Ā
cells you have on your body the more likelihoodĀ that you're going to have decreased testosteroneĀ Ā
and increased estrogen and another huge riskĀ factor is of course a family history of thisĀ Ā
sort of thing so we want to make sure thatĀ we're watching out for all of those now let'sĀ Ā
take a look at the symptoms of having an enlargedĀ prostate because this is going to be some of theĀ Ā
key factors that helps you understand if this isĀ an issue for you now one is going to be incompleteĀ Ā
bladder emptying okay so if you're going to theĀ bathroom feels like you never empty your bladderĀ Ā
all the way then this could definitely be anĀ enlarged prostate but also combined with manyĀ Ā
of these other symptoms like nectaria meaning thatĀ you're waking up two to three times per night andĀ Ā
going to the bathroom incontinence is a big factorĀ straining when trying to urinate a weak urinaryĀ Ā
stream a sudden urge to urinate and also a slowedĀ or delayed urinary stream and then lastly painfulĀ Ā
urination okay so the question is what do you doĀ about this do you run to your doctor do you getĀ Ā
on a bunch of medications like what do youĀ have to do about this well the reality isĀ Ā
there's a lot of things that you can do naturallyĀ right in your home and we're going to look at someĀ Ā
of the things you can do from changing yourĀ diet to using supplementation to changingĀ Ā
your lifestyle a bit okay now first thing we wantĀ to do is make sure that we're avoiding anythingĀ Ā
that can boost up estrogen okay so what may boostĀ estrogen in your body so first of all soy productsĀ Ā
can boost up estrogen so if you're using a soyĀ protein or eating soy-based foods we're goingĀ Ā
to remove soy from your diet now the other thingĀ that we want to do is make sure that we're notĀ Ā
eating foods that are sprayed with chemicalsĀ they can also mimic estrogen and then eatingĀ Ā
from plastic containers can also boost estrogenĀ so plastic cups plastic containers you want toĀ Ā
get rid of all of that because increasing yourĀ estrogen levels remember can enlarge your prostateĀ Ā
now we also want to focus on using a certainĀ type of food a food that is high in what's calledĀ Ā
lycopenes now lycopenes are naturally occurringĀ pigments that are present in many fruits andĀ Ā
vegetables for example a tomato is a very veryĀ rich source of lycopenes and they will help fightĀ Ā
against an enlarged prostate now some other fruitsĀ and vegetables that you can use that are going toĀ Ā
be high in lycopenes are going to be foods likeĀ papaya grapefruit watermelon carrots red bellĀ Ā
peppers and apricots and then also red cabbageĀ remember it's those fruits that have a reallyĀ Ā
bright pigment so red cabbage is also one of themĀ of course red cabbage is a great food for thoseĀ Ā
who are insulin resistance trying to lose weightĀ very filling very good healthy low carb food nowĀ Ā
we also can look to supplements as i mentionedĀ and here's a key here okay and i really want toĀ Ā
push this because this is where a lot of peopleĀ get lost in the weeds on this type of subject isĀ Ā
that if you have this type of thing going on likeĀ in large prostate you think to yourself well i'llĀ Ā
just get on a few supplements sure the supplementsĀ are helpful but you have to change your diet okayĀ Ā
we have to follow a diet that's decreasing yourĀ blood sugar decreasing inflammation helpingĀ Ā
you lose weight we have to do all the things aĀ supplement shouldn't be used like a medicationĀ Ā
okay and when i say that essentially what iĀ mean is like you shouldn't just avoid an entireĀ Ā
the entire poor lifestyle and then just takeĀ supplementation you should focus on improving yourĀ Ā
lifestyle and then adding supplementation as theĀ cherry on top so to speak so the top supplementsĀ Ā
that we can use in order to fight against thisĀ problem of having an enlarged prostate is goingĀ Ā
to be green tea and this is because studies haveĀ shown that green tea is widely anti-inflammatoryĀ Ā
and it can reduce pressure on the urethra andĀ therefore improve many of the symptoms thatĀ Ā
come with an enlarged prostate so green tea can beĀ taken in the form of supplementation but also youĀ Ā
can drink green tea okay that's also a great thingĀ to do next is going to be zinc okay now this one'sĀ Ā
actually kind of interesting because estrogenĀ inhibits the uptake of zinc in the intestinesĀ Ā
and as a person ages estrogen levels increaseĀ and then also your zinc is going to decrease nowĀ Ā
taking zinc supplements or increasing the dietaryĀ intake of zinc can lower a person's risk of havingĀ Ā
a zinc deficiency of course but also it's goingĀ to decrease the production of dht and inhibitĀ Ā
this androgen from binding to the receptors andĀ that's going to reduce the symptoms of an enlargedĀ Ā
prostate so zinc supplementation is powerful hereĀ okay let's go to some other really powerful onesĀ Ā
i'm going to focus on like the heavy hitters okayĀ and i'll put resources in the description below toĀ Ā
leave some prostate support supplements that kindĀ of thing if you're looking for further support nowĀ Ā
saw palmetto is another really good supplementĀ you can use a systemic review of 18 randomizedĀ Ā
controlled trials involving over 3 000 men andĀ another analysis that had 21 clinical trialsĀ Ā
involving 3 000 men support and found that sawĀ palmetto works very well and supports the roleĀ Ā
for saw pimento and improving your prostate healthĀ now there's evidence that supplemental inhibitsĀ Ā
five alpha reductase and this is the enzyme thatĀ reduces testosterone to the more potent androgenĀ Ā
dht which we talked about which actually enlargesĀ your prostate now other effects have been alsoĀ Ā
proposed when it comes to supplemental basicallyĀ they found that salt palmetto prevents dhtĀ Ā
from binding to androgen and receptors inhibitingĀ the growth factors in the prostate and also helpsĀ Ā
maintain healthy fluid balance in the prostateĀ tissue so salt palmetto is a huge supplement thatĀ Ā
can be used for this now cranberry fruit is alsoĀ something that's highly beneficial believe it orĀ Ā
not and not necessarily going and eating a wholeĀ bunch of cranberries but using it in supplementĀ Ā
form okay cranberry fruit has a history of useĀ among native americans for kidney urinary healthĀ Ā
now modern research actually proves that itĀ works and it supports its traditional useĀ Ā
now the cranberry fruit is recognized as a richĀ source of oligosaccharides and phytochemicalsĀ Ā
including proanthocyanidin and flavonols andĀ triterpenoids in a clinical study supplementationĀ Ā
with 250 or 500 milligrams of full spectrumĀ cranberry fruit powder resulted in clinicallyĀ Ā
relevant dose-dependent improvements in theĀ prostate in men older than 45 years of age okayĀ Ā
so i want to point this out too because this isĀ something that kind of gets lost in translationĀ Ā
when we see something like the cranberry fruitĀ works right and we see it in research we haveĀ Ā
to understand that somebody just wasn't eating aĀ whole bunch of cranberries what they were usingĀ Ā
is a cranberry fruit powder and they were usingĀ a full spectrum powder of about 500 milligramsĀ Ā
per day okay so you can't just eat cranberriesĀ and get these results you actually have to useĀ Ā
a powder and that's why like the supplementationĀ is going to be what will work versus just goingĀ Ā
to the store buying cranberries and thinking thatĀ your is going to shrink okay so the next thing weĀ Ā
can look to now is an epsom salt bath basically ifĀ you're not familiar with using an epson salt bathĀ Ā
you should get familiar with it because it can notĀ only help you feel better help you sleep betterĀ Ā
make you feel more comfortable stop your jointsĀ and muscles from inking it also can improve yourĀ Ā
prostate health basically what you're going toĀ do is add a cup of epsom salt into a bath ofĀ Ā
warm water soak for about 15 to 20 minutes andĀ it's been found to really be helpful at loweringĀ Ā
the symptoms of the benign prostatic hypertrophyĀ and then i also want to talk about lifestyle andĀ Ā
the way of exercise okay when you exercise youĀ decrease inflammation in the body and it also isĀ Ā
going to help you lose that fat which is producingĀ estrogen in your body which is causing you to haveĀ Ā
an enlarged prostate now being overweight isĀ a risk factor for developing bph but researchĀ Ā
shows at the university of harvard that justĀ walking every day can reduce the risk of bph by 25Ā Ā
so it was also concluded in the same study thatĀ more physically active men were less likely toĀ Ā
experience any type of problems associated with anĀ enlarged prostate so exercise is always going toĀ Ā
improve your health and so whenever we look likeĀ i said at solving these issues we can't just lookĀ Ā
to the supplement to the lifestyle piece we haveĀ to do all of it together and we layer on theseĀ Ā
different therapies these differentĀ natural supplements in all the suddenĀ Ā
week after week after implementing them monthĀ after month we start to get results i wantĀ Ā
to make that very clear too you can't just goĀ exercise once you can't just take the supplementsĀ Ā
for two days you actually have to do this forĀ a period of time if you want to get resultsĀ Ā
i see it very often where somebody will say heyĀ you know there's a supplement that helps with thisĀ Ā
i'll take it for a week oh it didn't work or evenĀ 30 days didn't work okay well you got to give itĀ Ā
some time and you also have to make sure thatĀ you're implementing all the other factors tooĀ Ā
don't just do supplements and continue onĀ with your garbage diet and don't you knowĀ Ā
clean up your diet but not do supplementsĀ either you should do both of them if youĀ Ā
want to get results and get them fast and thisĀ is how you naturally solve an enlarged prostateĀ Ā
