prostate enlargement
Prostate enlargement is a common problem for men in later life. They
experience pain on urination, and the constant urge to urinate can
produce f tful sleep and become quite exhausting. One cause can be a
bacterial infection invading the prostate. But herbalist James Green tells
us it mostly affects men between forty and sixty years old, which suggests
a hormonal imbalance or glandular stagnation. Sometimes a dull ache will
be felt in the abdominal area, from the prostate pressing into the urethra.
Occasionally, blood in the semen or urine is noticeable. Treating the
condition quickly is important. If it is left untreated, retained urine that
cannot be expelled can eventually cause cystitis or prostatitis as it f ows
back into the bloodstream, while the pressure on the bladder and kidneys
can become very dangerous. The prostate gland is occasionally removed if
the problem has been allowed to develop too far without proper
attention. If left untreated, the whole prostate could become cancerous.

Consume plenty of zinc-rich foods, as this mineral normalizes testos-
terone production. Use sea vegetables, organically grown pumpkin
seeds, pumpkins themselves, sunf ower seeds, garlic, bell peppers,
mushrooms, bilberries, and soybeans.
-
Steer absolutely clear of coffee, tea, alcohol, sugar, and ref ned foods.
