The TOP 5 Foods to Shrink Enlarged Prostate
Prostate enlargement also known as BPH is a common problem which occurs in men, especially
over the age of 50.
This condition makes it difficult to urinate properly, and may cause frequent urination
as the prostate gland puts pressure on the tubes connected to the bladder.
If left untreated, an enlarged and swollen prostate can lead to prostatitis, infections
and a higher risk of prostate cancer.
The underlying cause of this condition is having too many anabolic hormones in the body
such as Estrogen or DHT.
In today's video we're going to explore the top 5 foods and plant chemicals that you can
consume to help shrink your prostate back down to its normal size and improve urinary
flow.
I'll also explain some of foods that you must avoid if you want to fix this condition.

1.
Pumpkin Seeds The first and most powerful remedy to shrink
the prostate is pumpkin seeds.
Pumpkin seeds have been scientifically shown to help shrink a prostate back down to it's
normal size, around the size of a walnut.
The seeds are rich in phytosterols, these are natural plant compounds that prevent a
build-up of DHT in the body, the hormone that’s often responsible for an enlarged prostate.
Pumpkin seeds are also rich in Zinc which helps the prostate to function properly and
produce seminal fluid.
Eat a handful of these each day, alternatively you may take a teaspoon of pumpkin seed oil
for a more potent effect.
2.
DIM The second item on our list is DIM
Another common cause of prostate enlargement is having too much estrogen in the body, which
comes from drinking beer and alcohol, refined grains and GMO foods.
To start shrinking your prostate back down, avoid the foods I just mentioned and load
up on cruciferous vegetables such a radish, kale, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage
and arugula.
Leafy greens are loaded with (DIM), which helps your liver to cleanse and remove excess
estrogen from your body,
which in turn helps the prostate to shrink back down to its normal size.
3.
Tomatoes Next Up is tomatoes
Tomatoes are rich in an antioxidant called lycopene which also helps to prevent enlargement
of the prostate by inhibiting the growth of prostate epithelial cells.
What's interesting about lycopene is that it becomes more concentrated when you add
heat.
Cooking tomatoes increases the bioavailability of lycopene by at least 4x, making it a superfood
for your prostate.
Eating tomatoes also lowers PSA levels, lowering the risk of developing prostate cancer.
On a side note you can also get lycopene from basil, grapefruits, goji berries and asparagus.
4.
Green Tea Number 4 is green tea.
Drinking green tea on a regular basis is another excellent way to help shrink the prostate,
because it contains a catechin called EGCG.
This blocks an enzyme in your body from converting your testosterone to DHT, therefore stopping
the prostate from becoming any bigger.
Drinking 3-5 cups per day has also been shown to significantly lower inflammation in the
prostate gland, which helps it to heal and shrink back down to its regular size.
5.
Lauric Acid Last but by no means least we have lauric
acid.
Lauric acid has been shown in studies to inhibit prostate enlargement and improve urinary flow.
You can get this from a herb called saw palmetto, which is commonly sold in health food stores
to help treat prostate enlargement.
I recommend regularly consuming raw coconut oil, which contains monolaurin, a super concentrated
form of lauric acid which has many health benefits in protecting and healing the human
body.
Foods To Avoid
If you are currently suffering with an enlarged prostate and want to heal this permanently,
it's important that you avoid the following foods.
1.
Dairy products like milk and cheese contain anabolic hormones that cause things to grow,
so you must avoid these if you have an enlarged prostate.
2.
Alcohol especially beer raises the bad types of estrogen in the body, which can also be
causing your prostate to grow, so cut this out.
3.
Sugar and refined grains also contribute to inflammation in the prostate gland and also
raise bad estrogen.
4.
Vegetable oils are high in omega-6 fatty acids which also inflame the prostate, so ensure
that you remove these entirely and stick with extra virgin olive oil.
5.
Soy and GMO foods will also prevent your prostate from healing because they trigger hormonal
imbalances.
