Many men aren’t sure what their prostate is, what it does, or when to call a doctor if they think they might have a problem.

The prostate gland is a small gland that is part of the male reproductive system. It’s supposed to be about the shape and size of a walnut.

Research reveals that almost all men may experience prostate problems at some point in their lives.

No matter what your age, it’s good to be aware of your prostate health. Although prostate disorders do not typically affect men until they are in their 40s or older, it’s never too early to help prevent prostate problems and support prostate health.

The most common prostate problem, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a noncancerous (benign) enlargement of the prostate gland. The word “hyperplasia” refers to the growth of tissue that occurs because of an increase in the number of cells in the prostate. In men who have BPH, the prostate gland can become enlarged to the point of interference with normal function.

BPH affects more than 50 percent of men older than 50, by age 60, more than one-half of men have BPH; by age 85, the number climbs to 90 percent, according to Dr. Geo Espinosa, N.D.,L.Ac, CNS, RH (AHG).

Espinosa is the director of the Integrative Urology Center at New York University Langone Medical Center

Labs. His research is reported in the publication Natural Prostate Health: A Guide to Traditional and Natural Treatment for Enlarged Prostate.

BPH causes symptoms in only about one-half of men who have an enlarged prostate. Initially, men may notice problems starting urination, and when other symptoms occur, they typically involve problems with the urinary tract and bladder, such as:

• Sudden urge to urinate

• Getting up to urinate more frequently during the night

• Weak urine stream

• Dribbling after urination

• Incontinence

Although the prostate can begin to enlarge when men are in their 30s, symptoms of BPH usually do not become apparent until after age 50.

TIPS TO PROTECT PROSTATE HEALTH As with most common health concerns, research shows that a healthy diet and exercise can help protect the prostate. Research also suggests certain supplements can help men protect their prostate health.

According to Christopher Saigal, M.D., an assistant professor of urology at UCLA’s Jonsson Cancer Center, keeping a healthy weight and regular exercise can go a long way toward protecting prostate health.

OTHER TIPS INCLUDE:• Eat more fruits and vegetables. Tomatoes,

watermelon, pink grapefruit, guava and papaya all contain lycopene, a powerful antioxidant. Cruciferous

Brussels sprouts, bok choy and kale also are good choices.

• Tell your doctor if you have a family history of prostate disease. Having a father or brother with prostate problems increases a man’s risk of developing similar conditions.

• Don’t smoke.

• Eat more selenium-rich foods such as wheat germ;

and sesame seeds; cashews; mushrooms; garlic and onions. Selenium reduces the risk of prostate disorders.

• Get annual exams of the prostate beginning at age 50. Men with a family history of prostate conditions should start these annual exams when they are 45.

RESEARCH INDICATES THESE INGREDIENTS FIGHT BPH• Saw palmetto, an herbal extract from ripe berries

of the saw palmetto tree, decreases prostate

and rid the prostate of cholesterol deposits that can occur with BPH.

• Stinging nettle root (urtica dioica) helps reduce the

Studies indicate that nettle root helps relieve early symptoms of BPH.

MORE RESEARCHED NUTRIENTS THAT MAY SUPPORT MALE HEALTH• Lycopene is a potent antioxidant. Research shows

that men with more lycopene in their diets displayed decreased risk for prostate problems.*

• Pumpkin seed powder contains essential fatty acids needed for proper immune and prostate function, as well as being a good source of zinc, potassium and magnesium.*

• L-glycine, L-glutamic acid and L-lysine are amino acids that support proper prostate health and reduce nightly urination.*

• Zinc plays an active role in maintaining prostate health. No other gland or organ in the body has as much zinc as the prostate. Zinc should be taken with vitamin B6 for maximum effectiveness.*

In the warmer, longer, lazier days of summer, the living may not be easy, but your life probably feels less chaotic.

The “school’s out” attitude of summer is common to us all. That’s why this is a great time to improve your health in a fashion so seasonally laid back you’ll hardly notice the effort.

The question was: If you could only suggest one simple change this season to boost personal health, what would it be? Here are their top tips. (Source: www.webmd.com/women/features/8-summer-steps-for-healthy-living#1)

• Give Your Diet a Berry Boost

Eating a cup of mixed fresh berries — blackberries, blueberries, or strawberries — every day will help you load up on antioxidants, which may help prevent damage to tissues and reduce the risks of age-related illnesses. Blueberries and blackberries are especially antioxidant-

cholesterol low.

• Get Dirty — and Stress Less

To improve your stress level, plant a small garden,

Just putting your hands in soil is “grounding.” And when life feels like you’re moving so fast your feet are barely touching the earth being mentally grounded can help relieve physical and mental stress.

• Get Outside to Exercise

Pick one outdoor activity — going on a hike, taking a nature walk, playing games such as tag with your kids, cycling, roller blading, or swimming — helps set you free of the cooped-up feeling of gym workouts. It’s also a great way to create family bonding time.

• Floss Daily

Flossing reduces oral bacteria, which improves overall body health, and if oral bacteria is low, your body has

• Vacation Time

Improve your heart health by taking advantage of summer’s slower schedule and using your vacation time to unwind.

your blood pressure, heart rate and stress hormones such as cortisol, which contributes to a widening waist and an increased risk of heart disease.

• Sleep Well

Resist the urge to stay up later during long summer days. Instead pay attention to good sleep hygiene by keeping the same bedtime and wake-up schedule and not drinking alcohol within three hours of bedtime.

Remember, the best way to fuel your body in any season is to eat a variety of healthy, whole foods. Summer time is a great time to try an array of fresh produce that provide many of the nutrients you need to keep your mind and

to get all of the nutrition you need from food alone, so don’t forget that taking a daily multivitamin can provide nutritional support to guard against potential nutritional
