Take Care of Your Prostate

Prostate is a small gland available only in men, situated right underneath of the bladder. It surrounds the urethra just like a collar. Its use is for secreting most of the fluids that are found in the sperm and that help spermatozoids swim easily towards the woman’s uterus.

Just like any other organ in our body, the prostate can get "sick" as well. That's why we have to take care of it too. If not, it can be a cause of pain and discomfort. Fortunately, there are things we can do to help our body avoid prostate affections. Here are a few you can do:

• Eat more beans, walnuts, tofu and aliments that are rich in vitamin C and E, zinc and beta-carotene - Doctors recommend men to consume three times a week a fish meal. Their omega-3 acids are good for increasing our immunity and prevent infections.
• Eat pumpkin seeds - These seeds contain an important quantity of zinc and phytosterols that protect the prostate. If you want to protect your prostate eat daily 1-2 teaspoons of pumpkin seeds. They are quite delicious and easy to eat.
• Tomatoes are also prostate protectors - Their red color, given by lycopene has an important function for our health, not just a decorative effect. Tomatoes decrease the risk of developing prostate cancer! They also ease the BPH symptoms. 2-3 tomatoes a day should help you maintain your prostate integrity for sure.
• Try the small palm tree extract - You can find this natural product in capsules named Saw Palmetto Herb Extract. This extract is great for reducing the number of ‘visits’ to the bathroom during the night, it improves the urinary flux and protects prostate in general. You doctor might recommend this treatment for 3 months as the positive effects can only be seen after 2 months of treatment.
• Stop smoking - An American study has proven that quitting smoking reduces the symptoms of BPH and also decreases the risk of developing prostate cancer. So think of what is best for you: smoking or your health?
• Make love - Due to the fact that the prostate is involved in the semen production process, ejaculation seems to have a therapeutic effect. It is like a special prostate exercise. Not to mention that is benefic for you whole body too.

As you can see, the things you can do to help your body seem pretty easy and some are even pleasurable. So go on, start a healthier life now.
