What not to eat for prostatitis

Prostatitis is the most common disease nowadays, and it is most common among young people. Therefore, if you suffer from prostatitis, you should go to the hospital for examination in time to confirm the cause and develop an accurate treatment plan. Because this disease is not so easy to treat and requires a very long time, let us learn about what you can't eat when you have prostatitis.

Patients with prostatitis cannot smoke or drink. Patients may know that smoking can cause impotence, but they do not know that smoking can also increase prostate congestion, thereby aggravating the symptoms of acute and chronic prostatitis. Drinking can dilate organ blood vessels and increase blood perfusion, thus aggravating prostate congestion and causing recurrence of cured prostatitis.

People with prostatitis should not eat spicy food: scallions, raw garlic, chili peppers, pepper and other irritating foods. Although they can increase the taste of dishes, they can also cause blood vessel dilation and organ congestion. For patients with prostatitis, these foods should not be eaten, otherwise it will cause prostatitis to be prolonged and difficult to cure.

Some meats are not suitable for people with prostatitis: dog, beef, mutton, seafood, etc. These meats are considered to be aphrodisiac and vitality-enhancing delicacies. However, Chinese medicine believes that prostatitis is caused by dampness, so if drugs for aphrodisiac are used to treat dampness, their effects may not be as expected. In addition, after years of clinical observation, eating the above-mentioned meats can often lead to worsening of the disease.

For prostate hyperplasia, rich, spicy and sweet foods can easily cause endogenous dampness and heat and inhibit the circulation of qi and blood. Therefore, elderly people with prostate hyperplasia should pay attention to a light diet.

Oranges: Oranges contain tangerine, nobiletin and vitamin C. Studies have found that a diet high in vitamin C significantly reduces the risk of prostate cancer.

Cabbage: A study involving 1,200 men found that men who insisted on eating cabbage had a 41% lower risk of prostate cancer.

Tomatoes and carrots: Tomatoes and carrots contain a lot of beta-carotene, which can help the body absorb lycopene in tomatoes and reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

Chicken: A piece of chicken breast is enough to provide the selenium required by the human body for a day. Statistics show that men who take enough selenium every day are much less likely to die from prostate cancer.

Whole-wheat corn tortillas: Whole-wheat corn tortillas contain selenium and a lot of fiber. Canadian researchers have found that foods rich in soluble fiber can reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

Malt: Malt contains a lot of vitamin E and zinc. Studies have found that if you supplement vitamin E and take zinc daily, the risk of prostate cancer will be reduced by 20% and 45% respectively.

In the article, we have learned in detail what foods should not be eaten for prostatitis. In fact, patients with prostatitis cannot eat some irritating foods, especially foods that are easy to cause inflammation, or foods that cause constipation. Even smoking or drinking are not allowed.
