The prostate is known as the "gland" of man's life, and its importance is self-evident. However, the prostate is also an accident prone area, and experts pointed out that it is necessary to do a good job in protecting the prostate. Let's take a look at the "three good principles" for protecting the prostate.
First good: Eat well
What to supplement: and antioxidants (both beneficial for prostate health).
What to eat: Men should have more seafood, lean meat, legumes, white melon seeds, peanut kernels, pumpkin seeds, and sesame seeds on their dining tables to meet the human body's demand for zinc; Add more coarse grains, nuts, vegetable oils, fresh vegetables, and fruits to supplement various antioxidants.
What Not to Eat: Although alcohol, chili, and other foods as well as smoking do not directly cause prostate disease, they have a stimulating effect on the prostate and urethra, can cause temporary perineal discomfort, and can also cause congestion and edema in the prostate and bladder neck, causing poor urination. Therefore, contact should be minimized. A special reminder is that food cannot replace medicine, and don't forget to take medicine no matter how busy you are. "Most drugs for prostate hyperplasia must be taken every day, and don't leave a single meal alone.".
Second good: drink well
What to drink: water.
Function: When the weather is cold, it is still advocated to drink more water and urinate more, and to fully flush the urethra through urine, which is conducive to the discharge of prostate secretion and can prevent urinary tract infection. Even patients with prostate disease should drink more water.
How to drink: Drink more during the day. To avoid frequent waking up at night, reduce drinking water 2 to 3 hours before bedtime. Special reminder: Drinking too much and urinating too much. However, it is not advisable to "endure for a while" when urinating urgently. Holding urine can cause the bladder to overfill, compressing the prostate. For patients with prostate diseases, it is easy to cause urine reflux, harm the kidneys and ureters, even cause renal failure, and may also cause dysuria and acute urinary retention. Therefore, remember to urinate immediately when you feel like urinating.
Third good: Have fun
What to play with: walking, boxing.
How to play: Many patients with prostate hyperplasia have retired and have more spare time, so they like to play mahjong and poker. This is beyond reproach. However, when playing mahjong or poker, it is easy to sit for a long time. The position of the prostate determines whether a man "sits" on the prostate, so men who often sit for a long time have a heavier prostate burden. Therefore, when playing mahjong or poker, it is necessary to get up and take a walk from time to time. It is best not to play mahjong or poker for a long time. You should choose other playing methods and activities, such as walking, boxing, and walking with grandchildren in your arms.
