  1. Men’s health matters! If men’s health problems are not high on your to-do list or if it isn’t a health priority for a loved one, this one’s for you! We’re talking about men’s health and prostate health in particular…

  2. The prostate explained The prostate gland in men is usually the size of a walnut. It’s shaped like a doughnut and surrounds the urethra, the tube that empties urine from the body.

  3. BPH explained The prostate: Doubles in size at puberty. Doubles in size 21-50 years. Doubles again from 50-80. Enlargement can trigger the symptoms associated with benign prostatic hypertrophy.

  4. Symptoms of BPH Enlargement puts pressure on the urethra and bladder triggering: Difficulty in urinating Sudden need to pass urine Needing to pass urine more frequently Night waking to use the loo Incomplete emptying.

  5. Regular check-ups are a must! You can’t self-diagnose BPH See your doctor for regular, simple check-ups, individual diagnosis and advice.

  6. BPH is common A substantial number of men have symptoms of BPH. Incidence increases with age as the prostate continues to enlarge. So what can you do?

  7. Rate your reds! Tomatoes and other red fruits are rich in lycopene, which is great for all round body health and also for prostate health. Try to eat some tomato-based foods daily

  8. Isoflavones Consumption of isoflavones is associated with a small reduction in risk of prostate problems. Scientists continue to examine the role of isoflavones in prostate health.

  9. Go for garlic Men who eat the equivalent of three cloves of garlic daily tended to have better prostate health (the Journal of the National Cancer Institute). Sprinkle stir-fries and salads with spring onions (about 2tbsp) which also contain beneficial organo-sulphur compounds

  10. Spice it up! Adding herbs and spices to your meals may also help prostate health. Ginger and herbs such as oregano and rosemary plus that all round good guy, green tea in lab tests which show promising results for prostate health.

  11. Time for an oil change? Trans fats (in manufactured foods, takeaways etc.) trigger inflammation and insulin resistance which can affect body tissues including the prostate. Look on food labels and avoid foods that contain hydrogenated or partially-hydrogenated vegetable oil. Instead, boost your levels of omega-3 anti-inflammatory fats

  12. Get into a healthy weight Increased body fat levels are associated with enlarged prostate volume. So, get rid of the spare kilos that may be clinging to your middle which is associated with the pro-inflammatory condition, insulin resistance.

  13. Get moving! Regular exercise, boosts mind and body health including prostate health. A meta-analysis found moderate to vigorous physical activity cuts BPH risk by up to 25 per cent: protective effects increase with higher activity levels.

  14. Pick Palmetto Plus™? Palmetto Pluscontains saw palmetto, lycopene and isoflavones to support male physiology and maintain overall good health

  15. Saw palmetto Appears to inhibit the production of an enzyme that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is produced in the prostate and other organs. DHT accumulation in the prostate causes continued growth.

  16. Prostate conditions and hair loss? The hormone dihydrotestosterone triggers hair loss and prostate growth. Reducing DHT levels has been used to treat hair loss in men. More clinical trials are needed to prove a definitive link.

  17. Lycopene Lycopene, the pigment that gives tomatoes their red colour, is the most abundant carotenoid in the prostate. It helps to maintain the cell membrane and protect DNA from oxidation.

  18. Essential fats, zinc and selenium Increasing essential fats and zinc and selenium may help maintain the health of the male physiology and overall health. Zinc and selenium are not included in the Palmetto Plus™formulation.
