"Apple therapy" is currently a commonly used method for treating chronic prostatitis at home and abroad, because the zinc in apples can improve the zinc deficiency in patients with chronic prostatitis. According to the Times of India, a Swedish study has added a new reason for eating apples - to protect the prostate.
The researchers selected 78 subjects with chronic prostatitis, with an average age of 55 years. During a one-year routine treatment, they asked half of the population to eat 1-2 apples a day, while others did not. As a result, after excluding the influence of other life factors, the rehabilitation effect of those who insist on eating apples is still better than those who do not eat apples.
Researchers have analyzed that this may be due to zinc in apples. "In patients with chronic prostatitis, the zinc content in prostate fluid is significantly lower than in normal individuals. Eating apples to supplement zinc not only has no side effects, but also is beneficial to the human body's absorption and utilization.". Generally, 1-2 apples per day can help treat prostatitis.
Compared to medication, apples have a better and significant therapeutic effect than zinc containing drugs, and have the characteristics of safety, easy digestion and absorption, and easy acceptance by patients. Therefore, friends with prostatitis may as well eat more apples. In addition, men can also eat peanuts, walnuts, sesame seeds, and pine nuts to supplement zinc.
Eating more apples for men can also protect sexual functions
When zinc deficiency occurs, male accessory organs change significantly, which impairs sperm morphology and function. The prostate gland is the source of seminal plasma zinc, which is an important factor in ensuring sperm capacitation and improving sperm motility and penetration.
Lifestyle plays a very important role in the pathogenesis of prostatitis. Experts suggest that some patients with mild clinical symptoms such as frequent urination, painful urination, and urgency of urination only appear. There is no need to rush to the hospital for excessive examination and treatment. Instead, they can observe for a week and investigate the cause of their illness, such as excessive drinking and spicy eating. Stop these unhealthy lifestyles and drink more water, and the symptoms will gradually improve.
