What food is good for prostate maintenance?
In our daily life, we should pay attention to supplementing foods with the functions of tonifying kidney and yang, and promoting diuresis, such as dog meat, venison, mutton, tuanyu, shrimp, carp, wax gourd, red bean, tremella, myrtle, medlar, Poria, fresh cogongrass and so on. We should also pay attention to the prohibition of smoking, not eating spicy and other irritating foods, and not having sex too often. The following foods are good for the prostate. 1, pumpkin seed: After the age of 40, most men have prostate hypertrophy. An American experiment found that letting patients with prostate hypertrophy take pumpkin seed extract did reduce the frequency of frequent urination and improve other symptoms. Pumpkin seeds are also the best source of vitamin E, which can resist aging. 2, soybeans: soybeans contain phytohormones, which are beneficial to women. At the same time, soybeans are also excellent food for men. Japanese men who often eat soy products have a lower probability of developing prostate cancer than men in western countries. Soybeans are also effective in improving bone loss in men. After men are over 60 years old, bone loss will begin, which is as serious as that of menopausal women. Eating more soybeans can supplement lecithin. Lecithin has been proved to be related to short-term memory and learning ability. 3, garlic: garlic has a strong bactericidal power, can eliminate the bacteria invading the body. Garlic can promote the absorption of vitamin B 1, promote the metabolism of sugar to generate energy and eliminate fatigue. Another important function of garlic is to improve immunity. Lead selenide contained in garlic has antioxidant effect, so it is regarded as cancer-preventing food. Eating more garlic for men can improve physical fitness and strengthen the body. 4, seafood: seafood can enhance sexual ability. Male semen contains a lot of zinc. When zinc is insufficient in the body, it will affect the number and quality of sperm. Oysters, shrimps and crabs in seafood are rich in zinc, and a small oyster is almost a person's daily zinc requirement (15mg). Oysters are rich in glycogen or taurine, and also have the function of improving liver function, and nourishing and strengthening the body. 5, high vitamin C food: the quality and quantity of sperm in men are declining after the age of 24. If there is an elixir that can make aging sperm full of vitality again, it is vitamin C. Foods high in vitamin C include kiwi fruit, oranges, broccoli and asparagus. Vitamin C can help the secretion of paraadrenocorticoid (a hormone against mental stress), which can resist stress. 6, water: 75% of the human brain is water, and the first organ affected by dehydration is the brain. Too little water will make people feel tired and slow. If you supplement your body with drinks or soup, it will increase calories and make your body fat. So drink plenty of water between meals. Drink at least about 2000 ml of water a day. 7, whole wheat bread: to fight stress, B vitamins are very important. These include vitamins B 1, B2, B6, B 12, folic acid, nicotinic acid, etc., which can maintain the stability of the nervous system, increase energy metabolism and help to resist stress. Whole grain foods, such as whole wheat bread, brown rice and germ rice, are rich in B vitamins. Whole wheat bread is a complex carbohydrate, which can release energy slowly, has a calming effect and makes people relaxed and not nervous.
