that there's something that you could be eating every single day
that would minimize prostate symptoms that would also make it so that you're likely not to have an
enlarged prostate but besides that this one thing that you could be eating every single day that may
be in your cabinet may not be but it is available at your local store could not only improve overall
health could help you grow back hair could also be healthy for every single person in your family
but besides that it's anti-cancer forming too so let's get into it so since the end of the 19th
century and what we're going to do we're going to talk about it i'm going to tell you why it's such
a powerful thing and i'm going to tell you what doses you can use and how you can integrate this
into your everyday life so ever since the end of the 19th century this thing has been used to treat
urinary tract problems not only that but it's got anti-depressive properties because it's also
rich in tryptophan it can help decrease sugar cravings and improve diabetic health and help
prevent diabetes why because actually a hundred grams of this serving of this thing can contain
over 90 milligrams of magnesium and studies actually suggest that for every 100 milligrams
a day that you increase your magnesium intake the risk of developing type 2 diabetes decreases
by approximately 15 so this is like three-quarter cup of this right and then it's hair growth
stimulating 400 milligrams a day of this oil every day for 24 weeks actually had 40
percent more hair growth than men in the placebo group during a study and it's also shown to be
great for women too it can help with problems associated with menopause as well and it's been
used in traditional chinese medicine to get rid of worms it's protective of the of of the liver
so medicine and holistic practitioners have used this to boost detoxification
and it's packed with antioxidants and it improves urinary symptoms so this magic thing it's not
magic because it's available everywhere all over the place also helps decrease the symptoms of
overactive bladder yes guess what it is now this is something that most households in in the united
states don't really get much of until october this is pumpkin seeds and pumpkin seed oil extract now
let's kind of get into how something as simple as pumpkin seeds can do this now pumpkins were
were kind of native to north america right so native americans cultivated pumpkins and the
rest of the world came and stole them right and so now it's become kind of this worldwide phenomena
that that pumpkin seed oil extract is so powerful that most prostate supplements that you see
have it in it so let's talk about why so one of the big things if you go back to a previous video
that i talked about the importance of zinc pumpkin seeds and pumpkin seed oil are rich
in zinc but not only are they rich in zinc but they're also rich in copper too
so those of you who are supplementing zinc and not getting enough copper can actually really throw
things off but if you're focusing on pumpkin seeds a handful or two of pumpkin seeds a day actually
you're getting the zinc and the copper and zinc is essential to the health of your prostate now one
thing also keep in mind that we're dealing with when we're dealing pumpkin seed oils is that that
researchers have determined that over a hundred grams of pumpkin seeds contains
almost eight milligrams of zinc and and the thing that we also keep in mind when we're
talking about pumpkin seed oil is that the way we think it works is that remember that five
alpha reductase right five alpha reductase is that enzyme that can take good old-fashioned
amazing testosterone and turn it into a more potent form of testosterone called dht well
dht is amazing and it helps grow muscles but dht can also cause hair loss but on top of that it can
cause the prostate to swell so one of the ways that science tends to think that pumpkin seeds
help with prostate health is because it helps decrease dht right and then the high content
high content of carotenoids so there's so many antioxidants and essential fatty acids
embedded into the pumpkin seed that the pumpkin seed oil helps bring all this stuff into fruition
now i've just i've just scraped the iceberg in terms of how potent and how powerful pumpkin
seed oil can actually be and then what we're going to do is talk about some ways that you can use and
integrate pumpkin seed oil into your daily life and of course there's always supplements so if you
can't get pumpkin seeds and pumpkin seed oils into your diet you can also supplement with supplements
now the other thing to think about is that when we're talking about pumpkin seed oil
we actually studies have actually shown that it can help decrease the weight of the prostate
by inhibiting prostate cell growth right we talked about that in the last video so make
sure you check it out so 10 grams of pumpkin seed extract a day can has been shown to improve
bladder tone and to actually decrease some of the symptoms so now for instance say you saw the last
video and you decided to integrate saw palmetto into your regimen saw palmetto plus pumpkin seed
oil extract has been clinically shown to decrease urinary symptoms associated with prostate issues
up to 30 percent so those two work really well together and you'll see them combined a lot
in a lot of over-the-counter supplements clinical trials with pumpkin seed extract
they've done everything from 500 milligrams to a thousand milligrams to five grams a day um and and
over time they've looked at it at 12 weeks 12 months and so on and so forth and the data seems
to be really clear 12 weeks 24 weeks even 12 months and what we see is anywhere between a
30 to a 40 percent decrease in prostate symptoms compared to placebo so that's huge and the best
part is that 96 of the patients in these studies had negative side effects now let's talk about
side effects i think side effects are important when you're dealing with pumpkin seed oil and
you're taking pumpkin seed oil in high doses like that you can it can lead to some stomach upset
a little bit of diarrhea and maybe even some electrolyte imbalance so of course
anything that you try in this realm you should of course have this conversation with your doctor
in advance because you know i'm just here to kind of give you the facts and the information
now what i will do though is also share with you how many milligrams i tend to put patients on
but when it comes to blood thinner if you're on blood thinner this is not for you now how
do you how do you choose you know you're going to see all these different brands when you google it
you want to find a cold pressed oil because when the oil comes out and it's cold pressed then your
what's happening is some of the qualities of the pumpkin seed oil isn't denatured so you want cold
press you want it to be virgin and you want it to be unprocessed if you can find that then
technically speaking that's probably going to be a better form of the pumpkin seed oil you should
also consider combining it with saw palmetto see maybe you've you've tried saw palmetto and maybe
it irritates your bladder a little bit these two work synergistically to help decrease the symptoms
associated with prostate issues now on top of all of this i always get the question how do i use a
doc well one thing i don't want you to do i don't want you to cook with it it has a very low smoke
point so all very very much as soon as you start heating it you'll start to see smoke coming off
that's always a sign that that's not good cooking oil so i don't want you to cook with pumpkin seed
oil but what you can do is use it as a salad drizzle so instead of using olive oil you can
use pumpkin pumpkin seed oil along with a little vinegar a little salt a little pepper and use it
as a garnish on your salad another thing you can do is you can you can put it on your dish after
you've completed it say maybe you've decided to have pasta you can drizzle the pumpkin seed oil
on as type of a garnish another thing that you can actually do is just eat pumpkin seeds slow roasted
pumpkin seeds actually have pumpkin seed oil in it so that is another way that you can use it if you
happen to have my e-function smoothie recipe book you'll notice that i put a lot of pumpkin seeds in
it i say go ahead and finish the smoothie with pumpkin seeds this is why because pumpkin seeds
are so powerful so if you haven't picked up my e-function smoothie recipe book you will see the
link down below but let's talk about dosing so maybe you don't like the taste of pumpkin seeds
you don't want to deal with it you want to get straight to it well the following doses have been
researched and studied scientifically for benign prostatic hypertrophy or bph they've studied five
grams of pumpkin seed oil which is a lot and then they've studied 160 milligrams of pumpkin
seed oil divided three times a day in combination with saw palmetto and some other ingredients so i
usually ask that this pumpkin seed oil if you're going to go straight with the oil be divided into
two to three doses a day so that it doesn't upset the stomach as much right so here we have
once again another product that is available at your corner store that you can start integrating
into your daily lifestyle that you can start eating more or using it as a drizzle or even
supplementing it that can improve the quality of and health of your prostate all right so like this
