The number 1 food to shrink your prostate
Prostate enlargement (BPH) is a condition that occurs in men,
where a small gland near the bladder grows bigger than usual.
Urgency This can
put pressure on the bladder causing you to have an urgent need to urinate quite often
Stop/Start Your urine stream may stop and start,
Dribbling And you
may have a weak urine stream, or you may accidentally leak urine throughout the day.
This condition is triggered by a build-up of anabolic hormones in
the body such as estrogen, insulin, prolactin or DHT.
These hormones cause the glandular tissue in the prostate to start multiplying,
making it grow bigger and bigger.
Fortunately there are some simple ways to help balance out these hormones to
shrink the prostate, by eating certain nutrient dense foods.
Pumpkin seeds are undoubtedly the #1 food to help shrink the prostate back down to
its original size, due to the nutrients they contain.
In this video we will explore the benefits of pumpkin seeds for male health and explain how
they can help to shrink the prostate, and some other useful tips and advice.
Just a quick reminder this video is for educational purposes only,
so do speak to your doctor if you have any medical concerns.
Benefits of Pumpkin Seeds For Men
1. Rich In Zinc When it comes to shrinking the
prostate, it’s first important to balance out male hormones to prevent it from growing any bigger.
Pumpkin seeds are one of the best plant based sources of zinc,
a mineral which has been shown to block an enzyme in your body called 5-alpha-reductase.
This helps to prevent your testosterone from being converted into too much DHT,
a hormone that’s been shown to trigger prostate enlargement.
Zinc also supports the production of healthy seminal fluid in the prostate for male fertility.
When your hormones start to balance out,
the prostate usually begins healing and shrinking back to its regular size.
2. Rich in Magnesium The prostate is part gland tissue, and part muscle
tissue. Muscle tissue in particular requires magnesium to help it relax and contract properly.
Pumpkin seeds happen to be one of the richest natural sources of magnesium,
which help to normalise the relaxation/contraction
of the muscles within and surrounding the prostate, so that you can urinate normally.
Magnesium can also be obtained from any leafy green vegetable, as it is in its ionic form at
the central core of chlorophyll, the pigment that makes all plants green.
When shrinking your prostate, it's recommended to eat a good mixture of leafy greens and
brassica vegetables, as these also contain phytonutrients that can help the gland to recover.
3. Beta-Sitosterol
Another excellent property of pumpkin seeds is that they help to improve the flow of urine,
and decrease the amount of urine stored in the bladder.
This is owed to the beta-sitosterol within the seeds. This is a type
of healthy plant cholesterol that can help human bodies regulate their own cholesterol,
Which in turn helps to balance sex hormones like testosterone and estrogen,
which may have been causing prostate enlargement in the first place.

4. Tryptophan & Sleep In addition to the nutrients
we have already talked about, pumpkin seeds also contain the amino acid called tryptophan.
Your body needs tryptophan as raw material to build serotonin,
and melatonin. Brain chemicals that make you feel good, and help you to sleep better at night.
This mood improving and sleep improving effect helps your body balance out it's hormones,
lowers stress, reduces inflammation and overall improves prostate function.
5. Anti-Estrogenic
As previously mentioned pumpkin seeds contain an unusually high level of zinc for a seed.
In addition to preventing a build-up of DHT in the body, zinc also prevents your body
converting too much testosterone into estrogen, by blocking another enzyme called aromatase.
Too much estrogen in the body weakens the blood vessels connected to the
prostate and the bladder, and can also lead to erectile dysfunction,
anxiety or depression, so it's important to keep this under control.
Getting regular physical activity and exercise can also help to keep
testosterone and estrogen levels balanced within the male body.
How To Use Pumpkin Seeds
To help shrink your prostate, here's a few ways that you can
incorporate pumpkin seeds into your daily routine.
1oz Seeds One of the most simple ways is to simply
purchase some organic dried pumpkin seeds from the health food store and eat a small handful or 1oz
per day with your first meal of the day. The alpha linolenic acid within the seeds is a
healthy fat which will also help to lower your appetite so that you can go longer between meals.
2000mg Pumpkin Seed Oil If you prefer you can also
purchase cold pressed pumpkin seed oil and take up to 2000mg per day. This has
helped many men in improving urine flow and reducing inflammation in the prostate gland.
Prostate Shrinking Pumpkin Pie Smoothie
You Will Need
1/4 Cup Pumpkin Seeds
1 Dash Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix
1/4 Cup Blueberries (Optional)
2 Cups Unsweetened Almond Milk
Add these ingredients to a high powered blender, process and then drink once per day.
The phytonutrients from the seeds lose their quality when stored,
so be sure to make this fresh every single day.
You can also add a little stevia to sweeten if you wish,
and a little raw coconut oil,
as this too has been shown to help reduce the overall size of the prostate gland.
Note: Please use organic ingredients,
as regular GMO crops can interfere with hormone balance in men.
Other Tips To Shrink An Enlarged Prostate.
In addition to using pumpkin seeds, it's also highly recommended to improve your diet and
lifestyle. The following tips will help to bring your hormones back into balance,
to reduce inflammation in your prostate and allow it to shrink and heal.
1. Stop snacking frequently throughout the day and eat 2 solid meals. Every
time a calorie passes your lips, your body pumps out insulin. An anabolic hormone that
often causes prostate enlargement in men when it gets out of balance.
2. Help your liver to detoxify harmful chemicals from your body
that may be putting your hormones out of balance.
Drink at least 1 litre of water per day, with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice/lime,
and 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt. This will hydrate you,
keep your blood flowing and help your liver in balancing out hormones.
3. Focus on removing processed foods from your diet like sugar, breads, cereals, pastries.
Instead load up on foods that have been proven to shrink the prostate like cooked tomatoes,
broccoli sprouts, macadamia nuts, extra virgin olive oil, avocados, green tea,
oysters and shellfish, sauerkraut and wild fish like salmon, sardines and mackerel.
4. Improve your testosterone levels by performing high intensity interval
training. Just 10 minutes of HIIT 2x per week can dramatically improve hormone balance,
helping to reduce other anabolic hormones DHT, estrogen and insulin.
5. Cut out dairy foods entirely, including milk, cheese and yoghurt for 2 weeks,
and notice if your urination has improved. Unfortunately milk products contain anabolic
hormones like prolactin which can often make an enlarged prostate worse.
6. Finally, you may also consider using other vitamins and supplements to speed
up the process and help your prostate to recover and shrink. Great options include zinc chelate,
green tea capsules, and acerola cherry powder.
Please remember that supplements are no magic pill, they are there
to help boost your progress, but changing your lifestyle and cutting
out junk and toxins are foremost the most important steps to take.
