Top tips to combat common prostate issues…
Introduction and
background
Other
than the core problems / diseases of prostate such as BPH, prostatitis and
prostatic cancer, there are also some frequently occurring issues that can
create a really bothersome situations for most men especially before or during
any sexual encounter with their partners.
Some
of these issues include:
·
Inability
to gain erection (also known as erectile dysfunction or male impotency)
·
Delayed
erection (late erection)
·
Weak,
inconsistent erection
·
Premature
ejaculation
Adopting
a healthy lifestyle and diet can be helpful in reducing symptoms in some men.
Some of such modifications include:
Dietary measures
Mile
prostate-problems (such as those mentioned above) may be relieved by making
some simple changes to your lifestyle, such as avoiding alcohol and reducing
caffeine (coffee and tea) intake and drinking less in the evening. Reducing
total fluid intake (less water and juices) and emptying your bladder on a
scheduled plan (Peeing at fixed, predetermined timings) has also been found to
be greatly helpful. Similarly, It has
been scientifically proved that eating raw fruits and vegetables (especially
the green leafy ones) significantly improves your sex life and help treat
erectile dysfunction as well. It should be remembered that fruits and
vegetables are packed with antioxidants that slow the gaining process in both
sexes, and increase blood circulation in males which is crucial for maintaining
an erection during intercourse.
Also
you should eat lots of foods that are high in Vitamin E, which helps to improve
blood flow. Some foods high in Vitamin E include soy products, wheat germ,
leafy green vegetables and whole grain cereals.
Same
goes for Zinc as well. Zinc deficiency is common among men suffering from
erectile dysfunction. You should, therefore, eat foods high in Zinc, which
helps to aid the prostate and improve testosterone levels. Some foods high in
Zinc include soybeans, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. Alternatively, take a
zinc supplement of 10 to 20 mg once a day.
Likewise,
L-arginine-is used to make the nitric oxide, a compound in the body that
relaxes blood vessels, a very important function in sex. L-arginine is found in
Dairy, Nuts, Meat, Poultry, Soy, and fish.
Exercise
Swimming,
jogging, running, cycling or even brisk walking for 30 minutes on daily basis
can bring great benefits to your overall body health in general and prostate
health in particular.
Sleep
A
minimum 6-7 hours sleep during 24 hours is essential for your proper brain
function and mental stress reduction. A long, relaxing sleep on regular basis
also boosts your immune system and helps you get rid of many health problems
including those related with prostate. If you are having difficulty in getting
sufficient night sleep due to nocturia (desire to pee frequently during night
time), you could try getting an additional nap in the afternoon or in the
evening.
