A healthy prostate should be the size of a walnut, but an enlarged prostate can grow to the size of an orange!
An enlarged prostate pushes against the bladder, reducing its capacity, which is why one of the most common symptoms of an enlarged prostate is frequent urination at night.
Frequent urination at night, or polyuria, can also be caused by the following:
•Type 2 diabetes
•Prediabetes
•High-carb diets
•Excess water intake at night
•Alcohol
•Caffeine
•Certain medications
•Kidney damage
•Sleep apnea
Most medications for an enlarged prostate work by reducing DHT, a powerful form of testosterone.
The following natural remedies inhibit the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into DHT:
•Saw palmetto
•Milk thistle
•Stinging nettle root
•Pumpkin seed oil
The prostate has a lot of vitamin D receptors. Vitamin D regulates the growth of the prostate and helps prevent excessive growth. To increase your vitamin D, get more sun exposure or take at least 20,000 IU of vitamin D daily along with 350 mg of magnesium glycinate.
As testosterone decreases, that can sometimes leave you with too much estrogen. DIM is an excellent remedy for hormonal imbalances related to estrogen.
One of the most common contributors to an enlarged prostate is insulin resistance. Too much insulin can trigger the hormone IGF-1, which can increase the size of the prostate. Insulin is triggered by the consumption of carbohydrates and frequent eating.
These 11 foods can help shrink the prostate
1. Low-carb foods
2. Wild-caught salmon/sardines
3. Arugula
4. Beets
5. Pumpkin seeds
6. Dark chocolate
7. Green tea
8. Tomatoes
9. Cod liver oil
10. Apple cider vinegar
11. Watermelon
Avoid these foods for the best prostate health:
•Sugar
•Starches
•Seed oils
•Alcohol
•Milk
•Soda
•Fried foods
•Artificial sweeteners
