Easy Diet And Lifestyle Changes Can Improve Prostate And Erectile Health

Holistic Suggestions For Erectile Dysfunction & Prostate Cancer, by Nutritionist, Nancy Addison, organic healthy life

I am frequently asked about what males can do to help reverse the problem of Erectile Dysfunction and prostate cancer. This worldwide health challenge can really create stress in a relationship and make intimacy difficult. If you are facing this, you are not alone. Statistics show that 1 in 7 men will get prostate cancer. But there is new research that shows natural ways to reverse or prevent prostate cancer and erectile dysfunction! This article will provide you with some easy ways to prevent and treat prostate cancer 
&
 erectile dysfunction, which is much less extreme than surgery or drugs, and much more effective in the long term.

Natural foods
 & 
lifestyle adjustments can be implemented right away and make a huge difference in your quality of life. In a recent study, men who were in early stage prostate cancer, who made intensive changes in diet and lifestyle stopped or perhaps even reversed the progression of their illness.” (1)

In this comprehensive study, they chose 93 men that had biopsy-proven prostate cancer who had elected not to undergo conventional treatment.   For one year the group was split into two groups. One did not change anything they were doing, but the second group was placed on a vegan diet (mostly fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains with additional vitamin and mineral supplements) and a lifestyle with moderate aerobic exercise, meditation, yoga and support group sessions.

At the end of one year, the “PSA levels (a protein marker for prostate cancer) decreased in men in the group who made comprehensive lifestyle changes but increased in the comparison group. There was a direct correlation between the degree of lifestyle change and the changes in PSA. Also, they found that serum from the participants inhibited prostate tumor growth in vitro by 70 percent in the lifestyle-change group but only 9 percent in the comparison group. Again, there was a direct correlation between the degree of lifestyle change and the inhibition of prostate tumor growth.” (2)

Also, published studies on milk thistle’s anti-cancer potential show its effectiveness against cancers of the prostate, liver, lung, breast, colon, cervix, skin and ovaries.

Milk thistle is also a powerful means to protect the body against the damage of cancer drugs. It’s frequently used in cancer care to help moderate the toxic effects of radiation and chemotherapy.

The silymarin component of the plant offsets the growth of certain types of cancer cells, including those associated with prostate, skin, and liver cancers. It also helps prevent cancer cells from spreading throughout the body. (3) Oral ingestion of silibinin has also shown effectiveness in preventing the growth, spread, and metastasis of prostate cancer cells, working in part by causing cell cycle arrest. (4)

Isosilybin B is likewise effective in targeting prostate cancer. It helps to maintain healthy prostate cell division inside the body while suppressing the secretion of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a common marker of the disease’s presence and spread. Isosilybin B has also shown efficacy in fighting both hormone-dependent and hormone-independent prostate cancers. It is also efficacious in suppressing a genetic factor linked to the disease’s formation. (5)

Along with the high rates of prostate cancer is the serious problem for men that is Erectile Dysfunction, also known as ED. One survey found that 50% of men aged 40 and up had ED (6), and another found that 33% of men aged 50 and up complained of having ED in the past three months. (7)

Besides the physical effects on health, ED can lead to depression and anxiety, and affect relationships. Fortunately, when you give the body the right tools, it can start to heal itself.

There are all kinds of natural foods you can add to your diet to provide those tools. ED has many causes. ED is a main side effect of many commonly prescribed pharmaceutical drugs, so check the side effects of any pharmaceutical drugs you take. Heart disease, obesity, diabetes, older age, smoking, alcohol, high blood pressure, stress, and a sedentary lifestyle all increase the risk of ED. (8)

Studies show that 70% of all erectile dysfunction caused by non-psychological factors is due to blood vessel problems and diabetes. (9) In fact, the first sign of heart disease is sexual dysfunction. (9)

Even more seriously, men who have ED are 70% more likely to die prematurely than men without ED. (10)

A two-year study took men with ED and placed them on a high-fiber diet of fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats (a Mediterranean diet), and the results were better erections. (11)

I often hear men talk about how they crave steak, chicken, fish, and burgers so they can bulk up or be manly. The Paleo diet has been all the rage. These “manly” foods actually produce the exact opposite of what masculine parts need to function.

To prevent and treat erectile dysfunction, choose to cut down on or eliminate steak, burgers, hot dogs, fish, and chicken wings.  Add fresh fruits and vegetables, grilled Portobello mushrooms, sprouted lentils, sprouted quinoa, and sprouted beans to your eating plan, and see what a difference that makes. Look beyond TV commercials and stereotypes of masculinity.

Research shows that healthy, fresh, whole, vegetarian foods actually boost sexual function throughout your lifetime. A more vegetarian diet can do amazing things for your health, and it can be delicious!

Another natural food to try on the road to health is Fenugreek Seeds. Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum–graecum) has held a major position in Ayurveda Medicine for thousands of years. It has been traditionally used in cooking, and it has been historically used for supporting liver and gallbladder health, balancing blood sugar, regulating weight, and boosting overall digestive strength.

There is a well-documented study, showing the benefits of supplementing your diet with fenugreek seeds, and its effect on the blood sugar of type 1 diabetics. Poor blood sugar regulation is linked to weight gain, along with an excess of serious health concerns.

Keep in mind, blood sugar imbalances actually start in the liver, and the liver is where fenugreek benefits. In one study with diabetic type 1 patients, there was a 54% reduction of glucose in the first-morning urine, along with significant positive changes in the ability to regulate fats in the liver. (12)

Fenugreek has also been found to help with men’s libido and increase their sexual function. In one study, 60 males between the ages of 25 and 52 with erectile concerns took either fenugreek or a placebo for 6 weeks. The men that took the fenugreek saw considerable improvement in libido and their sexual ability. In addition to this, the men personally reported a positive result in muscle strength, energy and well-being. While the exact components for these effects is still undiscovered, it has been found that fenugreek can play a role in maintaining healthy testosterone levels. (13)

Fenugreek can be taken as a tea with meals, or it can be taken as a supplement in a capsule form.  You can also sprout them and use them on salads or freshly grind them to use as a spice to sprinkle on your food when cooking.

There is a company that is successfully helping men with stem cell activation, in a non-transdermal patch, which was originally created for the Navy Seals. I have found them to be very positive in so many ways for myself and my clients. People are getting pain relief (especially from old broken bones or traumas), better sleep, and greater energy ( they are being worn by Olympic athletes, and athletes like David Beckham and Serena Williams). They just came out with an aromatherapy spray that can help regulate hormones. Men are really getting wonderful results from using it. Men are finding their testosterone is greatly boosted using these.
It’s a two-spray program, one for the morning (Shine) and one for the evening (Dream).

There is also an herbal supplement, myomin, which may offer some excellent aid to hormone balance for men.

Myomin is often called a Chinese herbal complex. Myomin was developed by Dr. Tsu-Tsair Chi a Chinese-American Doctor and Naturopath.

Myomin is an all-natural herbal formula that contains:

  • Aralia,
  • Astragalus membranaceous
  • Smilax glabra,
  • Curcuma zedoria
  • Cyperus rotundus

Combine the myomin with Tongkat Ali.

Tongkat Ali has been used in traditional medicine in Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, and other Asian countries to treat malaria, infections, fevers, male infertility, and erectile dysfunction

These testosterone herbs tell the brain to make more testosterone. This combination of myomin and tongkat Ali works best together. These can help you regain your zest for life as well.

Along with those supplements, make sure you are taking at least one drop of iodine every day. Avoid any white iodized salt, it’s not a good source and it’s toxic to your body. You need to use mineral-rich salt daily for
lower blood pressure and more optimum overall health, but the iodine needs to be added to your daily supplement intake.

If you are interested in moving to a more plant-based diet, you may want to read my best-selling, award-winning, book/cookbooks  “How to Be a Healthy Vegetarian  (second edition) Awarded “Best Diet and Nutrition Book of the Year,” in the Beverly Hills Book Awards and Winner For “Best Specialty Cookbook of the Year” in the Book Excellence Awards 2017 or “Diabetes And Your Diet  Winner of Best Health Book of the Year, in the International Book Awards, 2017. at this link: Author.to/nancyaddison or you can also visit my home page of this website: www.organichealthylifestyle.com to order the books.

I have taught many Texas men, including Larry Hagman (J. R. Ewing from the show Dallas), how to love being a vegetarian and enjoy the food. When we make the decision to change our diet, that decision can create wonderful results in health and well-being.
