Prostate hyperplasia is a disease that has received much attention in recent years. The majority of patients are males, and the disease often occurs in the middle-aged and elderly. This disease has brought significant impacts to the lives and work of many patients. Many men unknowingly develop this disease, with obvious symptoms upon detection. In severe cases, they may experience urinary incontinence, which can cause shame in public places. After getting sick, not only do we need to go to the hospital for examination, medication, and surgery, but we can also contribute to our daily life by providing dietary care for prostate hyperplasia.
Dietary taboos
Avoid spicy foods such as scallions, raw garlic, chili peppers, and peppers, as these foods can cause vasodilation and organ congestion. Some patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia have a habit of eating spicy food. They often control their symptoms when the disease is severe, but when the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia alleviate, they relapse, which is also an important reason for the delay and difficulty in healing of prostatitis. In addition, it is important to drink less coffee and eat less acidic foods such as citrus and orange juice.
Prohibition of smoking and alcohol: Alcohol is a type of beverage that has a vasodilator effect. Alcohol can cause congestion in internal organs, and the prostate is no exception. Due to the habit of long-term drinking or even excessive drinking among some middle-aged people, prostate hyperplasia is not easily cured before onset, and even if cured, it is very easy to relapse (adults have the benefit of drinking a small amount of red wine every day).
Smoking is harmful to physical health. The toxic substances in cigarettes, such as nicotine, tar, nitrosamines, and carbon monoxide, can not only directly poison prostate tissue, but also interfere with the neural function that governs blood vessels, affect blood circulation in the prostate, and can also exacerbate prostate growth.
Food that is beneficial for recovery
Male friends should eat more fresh fruits, vegetables, coarse grains, and soy products, eat more honey to keep their bowel movements smooth, consume a moderate amount of beef and eggs, and eat more seed foods, usually pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc. Research has found that most plant seed foods have a certain effect on improving prostate function, such as winter melon seeds, hazelnuts, pine nuts, pistachios, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc. Elderly patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia can consume these foods appropriately in their daily lives.
In addition, the diet of BPH should drink more mung bean Congee. No matter how much mung beans are, add plenty of water, boil them to a pulp, add a little salt or sugar, let them cool, and eat them as much as you like. This is particularly suitable for those with bladder heat and urinary tract pain.
Today, we will introduce two aspects of dietary taboos and beneficial foods for benign prostatic hyperplasia. For patients, there are many dietary taboos, and there are many things that cannot be eaten. Everyone must be careful not to eat the wrong thing to worsen the condition or cause a relapse of the previously controlled condition. Patients should also eat more foods that are helpful for recovery, and put more effort into their diet. While taking medication for treatment, diet plays a supportive role, allowing the disease to recover faster.
