Patients with prostatitis do not know what foods they can eat during treatment, and they can eat whatever they like. This approach is not advisable. If a patient or their family member is unsure of what to eat for prostatitis, take a look at the relevant information compiled by the following editor.
Three types of food are suitable for patients with prostatitis
The first thing to avoid when suffering from prostatitis is alcohol. Alcohol is a dry, bitter, warm, and hot product that causes local vascular dilation and congestion. Drinking alcohol can lead to the spread of inflammation.
Secondly, smoking cessation is crucial. Toxic substances such as nicotine, tar, nicotine, and nitrosamines in cigarettes can interfere with the neural function that governs blood vessels, affecting the blood circulation of the prostate and leading to prostate congestion. Its toxic substances can also directly poison prostate tissue.
Diet suitable for patients with prostatitis:
Vegetables and fruits: Watermelon, cantaloupe, grapes, kiwifruit, sugarcane, water chestnuts, winter melon, cucumbers, and other similar foods are mostly sweet and cool in taste, and have the function of diuresis and drenching. They can clear heat and detoxify, dissolve dampness and promote hydration, and have the effect of inhibiting inflammation.
Dried fruits and miscellaneous grains: Red beans, mung beans, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, Job's tears, walnut kernels, sesame seeds, and other foods are rich in trace elements and a large amount of B vitamins, which have good nutritional effects and have functions such as clearing heat, reducing fire, killing insects, and moistening the intestines. They can kill bacteria, relieve constipation, and eliminate inflammation, making the prostate gland ducts unobstructed.
Health drinks and herbs: such as pollen, green tea, honey, and herbal decoctions of fresh reed roots, fresh thatch roots, fresh bamboo leaves, and other fresh reed roots have a good effect on prostatitis. Among honey, locust blossom honey is better.
In fact, besides the prostate, the male reproductive organs, such as the testicles that produce sperm, are also important components of male health. To achieve healthy sperm production, the following foods should not be missing from the dining table:
1. Animal viscera contain a significant amount of cholesterol, which is an important component of synthetic sex hormones. In addition, it also contains adrenaline, which can promote the division and maturation of spermatogonium.
There is a certain correlation between the number of sperm in zinc containing foods and the trace element zinc in the human body. The food with the highest zinc content is oysters, while other foods such as beef, milk, chicken, chicken liver, egg yolks, shellfish, peanuts, grains, beans, potatoes, and brown sugar all contain a certain amount of zinc.
3. Foods containing arginine. Arginine is a necessary component for sperm formation, and foods with a particularly slippery appearance are rich in arginine, such as eels, loaches, sea cucumbers, cuttlefish, octopus, silkworm pupae, chicken, frozen tofu, seaweed, peas, etc.
4. Calcium containing foods can stimulate sperm maturation with calcium ions. Foods rich in calcium include shrimp skin, salted eggs, egg yolks, dairy products, soybeans, kelp, sesame paste, etc.
5. Foods rich in vitamins, such as vitamin A, vitamin E, and vitamin C, can help delay aging and avoid sexual decline.
The above is an introduction to what foods patients with prostatitis should eat, hoping to be helpful to the majority of patients. Care during treatment is crucial, especially in terms of diet. Improper diet can lead to the onset or exacerbation of the disease. I hope all patients pay more attention.
