How to take care of your prostate

I believe everyone knows the importance of the prostate to male friends. However, although we know that the prostate is prone to problems, we don’t know how to take good care of our prostate. In fact, if we want to make our prostate healthier, we must pay attention to some details of life. For example, we should quit smoking and eat more apples. In addition, prostate health also requires us to exercise more.

Pay attention to dietary conditioning

Quit smoking: As is known to all, the harm of smoking to the human body has been widely reported, but few people know that smoking also affects prostate diseases. Smoking is harmful to health. Although most people know about the harm of smoking, they know very little about the fact that smoking can also affect the prostate. In fact, alkaloids, tar, nitrosamines, carbon monoxide and other toxic substances in cigarettes can not only directly poison the prostate tissue, but also interfere with the nerve function that controls blood vessels, affecting the blood circulation of the prostate and aggravating the congestion and swelling of the prostate.

Eat more apples: In addition to proteins, various enzymes, and organic matter, the main components of prostatic fluid also contain many trace elements, of which zinc accounts for the majority. Some foreign clinical medical researchers have found that apple juice has amazing therapeutic effects on zinc deficiency, and this research is the "apple therapy". Apple juice is more effective than drugs with high zinc content, and it is safe, easy to digest and absorb, and is popular and easy to accept by patients. The therapeutic effect is proportional to the concentration of apple juice, and the thicker the better the effect. Therefore, it is a very beneficial dietary therapy for patients with chronic prostatitis to eat some apples regularly. As a simple and easy treatment method, the "apple therapy" is easily accepted and applied by a large number of prostatitis patients.

Avoid spicy food: Spicy food, such as scallions, raw garlic, chili pepper, pepper and other irritating foods can cause blood vessel dilation and organ congestion. Some patients with chronic prostatitis have the habit of eating spicy food. They can often control themselves when the symptoms of the disease are more serious, but they will relapse when the symptoms are relieved. This is also an important reason why prostatitis is delayed and difficult to cure.

Daily exercise is essential

Some people say that physical exercise is the best treatment for prostatitis, which makes sense. Of course, the exercise we mentioned is moderate and healthy. Physical exercise can improve disease resistance, improve blood circulation, make prostatic fluid secretion more vigorous, and help prostate inflammation subside. It is good for alleviating the clinical symptoms of chronic prostatitis, especially back pain, perineum and lower abdominal pain, and nerve dysfunction and neurasthenia. In addition, more exercise can also deliver drugs to the prostate gland more quickly, thereby improving the efficacy of the drugs. However, it should be noted that vigorous exercise can also cause congestion and edema of the prostate, aggravating the symptoms of discomfort. Therefore, the amount and intensity of exercise should be moderate, and it is best to stick to about half an hour a day. The intensity of exercise should be adjusted according to your own habits and age. It should not be too intense, and it is not suitable to do competitive sports such as sprinting. Long-term riding sports, such as riding a bicycle, motorcycle, horse riding, racing, etc., will also directly compress the perineum, urethra and prostate, which may cause local congestion of the prostate, obstruction of prostatic fluid discharge, and aggravation of the condition.

In the above article, we introduced the importance of the prostate to male friends. Male friends are prone to prostate problems, so male friends should participate in more sports and eat more apples to protect their prostate.
