so there's one food that you want to eat if you want to shrink in EN large prostate prostate is a gland that wraps around this little tube underneath your bladder and when it gets bigger normally it should be like a size of a walnut when it enlarges it kind of interferes with the urine flow and that can keep you up at night and enlarg prostate can also turn into a cancer situation and the name that they use for this enlar prostate is called benign prostatic hyperplasia what's involved here well this is kind of what the
theory is in order for the prostate to enlarge you have to have certain type of hormones that activate it okay and one is called testosterone because testosterone is a anabolic hormone that you know helps your muscles grow so testosterone through the help of a certain enzyme will convert into DHD which is a more powerful form of testosterone and apparently this DHT is involved in the enlargement of the prostate and so the mechanism of one of the top selling drugs for this condition inhibits that enzyme to reduce DHT as we age testosterone goes down DHT also
goes down and also as men age the prostate enlarges so how can that be a solution since DHT is normally lower as we get older it's very confusing so in other words a apparently the real problem is that as we age that enzyme increases in its activity thereby giving you more DHT and creating a more profound effect over the prostate as far as the top medication which I'm not going to mention they found that by taking the medication you can decrease the enlargement of your prostate by about 23% but there's some slight minor complications side
effects decrease libido increase risk of prostate cancer as well as a syndrome that can occur when you stop taking the medication and that Syndrome has other side effects like signs of suicidal impulses atrophy of the penis and the development of breast tissue but other than that it's totally fine the question is there a natural inhibitor of this enzyme the answer is yes in one study it showed that it can decrease the risk of an a prostate enlargement by 21% and prostate cancer this natural enzyme inhibitor also decreases inflammation it has a very potent antioxidant effect
and the name of this compound is called lopine now lopine is called a carotenoid which is a kind of a category of a lot of different plant-based compounds and lopine is in watermelon it's in carrot and it's even in grapefruit but if you want to get a large amount of lopen you want to get it from Tomatoes if you can get them from your G Garden or the Farmers Market that would be great you can get them as canned tomatoes or tomato sauce or tomato paste because apparently the lopine and tomatoes becomes more bioavailable when
you heat the Tomato of course don't get the tomato sauce that has the sugar added get the one that as natural as possible now the other interesting thing about lopine is it's a fat soble compound which means that if you're cooking with tomatoes you want add a little olive oil with it because the extra fat with heat will help extract more of that lopine from it if you just include maybe twice a week some type of tomato dish whether these tomatoes are on your salad or in some type of dish that would be a really
great thing for your prostate so there are other things you can take to help your prostate zinc is at the top of the list ratol is another compound that they used with uh lopine now as a side note uh probably the worst thing for the prostate is milk because there's certain uh growth hormones in milk that can enlarge the prostate as well and even when I was in practice I remember uh several older men coming in and and explaining that every time they consume some Dairy when they would wake up the next morning they had
a a much worse time urinating probably because of the enlargement of the prostate so Dairy is something you would want to avoid now that you know the best food for the prostate the next thing you need to know is what to avoid there are four things things to avoid to prevent an enlarge prostate and I put that in this video right here check it out
