three is tough for many people alcohol can be really risky for guys with prostate enlargement and it gets even worse if you can't quit because you're hooked on it for many guys drinking might be a way to deal with stress or just have a good time but that's super harmful if you have prostate enlargement you see alcohol relaxes the muscles in your bladder and prostate which makes it harder for your bladder to hold pee for a normal amount of time so you end up feeling like you have to pee all the time which becomes a

get its sneaky names like believe in textured protein and natural flavor if you want to go for soy products that actually have health benefits go for the fermented ones soy sauce fermented bean paste miso and tempeh are examples of fermented soy products that are good for you Dairy is the sixth food on the list dairy products like milk and cheese have calcium in them but they also have a high amount of saturated fat this combination can make BPH benign for static hyperplasia worse because it acts as an inflammatory agent dairy foods are typically made from
the milk of cows or goats they also contain natural hormones like prolactin and igf-1 which can irritate an already enlarged prostate this irritation causes the gland to swell up putting pressure on your bladder however since calcium is important for maintaining healthy bones you can consider replacing regular milk with Alternatives like almond milk soy milk or coconut milk substitutes can still provide the essential nutrients without having potential negative effects on the prostate next you should avoid caffeine if you have BPH it's best to steer clear of coffee and other caffeinated drinks caffeine has this thing where
it makes you pee more and drinking it at night just makes matters worse on top of that caffeine has this anointing compound called xanthine alkaloid that irritates your bladder and makes you feel like you need to go to the bathroom even more urgently instead opt for green or chamomile tea they're way better options and they even have some detoxification perks number eight on our list is excess salt consuming too much sodium can sometimes worsen the urinary tract symptoms associated with bpe to alleviate these symptoms it can be beneficial for some men to follow A reduced
sodium diet which involves avoiding processed foods and refraining from adding excessive salt to meals however it's important to note that sodium is a necessary nutrient that aids in maintaining the body's water balance therefore extreme sodium restriction is not recommended you might be surprised by this one vegetables including low carb vegetables in your diet is a crucial aspect of maintaining a healthy lifestyle but when it comes to taking care of your prostate health it's important to go the extra mile and choose organic vegetables that haven't been treated with artificial chemicals the reason behind this is that

water bottles scientists are still studying the links between BPA and various diseases but the European Union in Canada have already banned its use in baby bottles crazy right now here's the kicker foods like tomatoes are especially vulnerable to BPA these juicy red guys can absorb BPA into their soft tissues while they're just chilling in the can so watch out for that okay that's all for today's video make sure you subscribe to the channel and turn on the notification Bell if you enjoyed it so you won't miss any of our new videos let me know if
