The Little Man and the Prostate
The Little Man and the Prostate Robin Williams once called his Mr. Happy.Elvis called his
Little Elvis. What do you call yours?Sorry if that question is a bit too forward, but thats what Im writing about:
the prostate and male menopause. Lets start with the fundamentals. Penile arterial blood flow is all about
erections.Diet, exercise, healthy food, and nix on smoking and drinking too much.Your doctor may advise you that
there are different herbs that can help.Ginseng, Yohimbe and Ginko Biloba have worked for thousands of years in
Asia.There is a story that in ancient times, when the Chinese were learning their herbcraft, they dug up Ginseng
root and realized that the bumpy herb resembled the form of a man.Therefore, they concluded, if it takes the shape
of a man that must mean it must be good for peoples bodies and overall health.Thousands of years later, occidental
modern medicine catches up.Ginseng can be taken in pills and capsules or as a tonic.Of course, check with your
doctor or herbalist so you can determine the right dosages for you. Even if your kids are all grown and you are not
interested in fathering anymore, it is important for your health to remain fertile.The health of your sperm often
indicates your overallhealth.Free radicals and oxidation is as unhealthy to your reproductive system as anywhere
else in your body. Again, antioxidant supplements of vitamin C and E can improve the count, the health, and the
motility (their ability to swim) of mens sperm. These are basically the vitamins prescribed for infertile couples,
along with zinc.This mineral is essential to the production of testosterone. Now, on to the prostate; those who
have had a bout of prostatitis already know how important it is to keep this little gland happy.Thats what makes
and stores much of your seminal fluid, the transport medium for your sperm.By the time you hit your fifties, it is
likely what you have suffered an inflammation of prostatitis already.There is a bacterial infection form, easily
treated with antibiotics, but the non-bacterial prostatitis is helped more with antioxidants. Benign Prostatic
Hypertrophy, or BPH for short, is more commonly as an enlarged prostate.This is likely what you have if you
experience dribbling of urine or the feeling that you havent completely emptied your bladder.The drugs commonly
prescribed for BPH unfortunately can have side effects that are exactly what you are trying to get rid of, namely,
a loss of libido and impotence.In Europe, three herbal products that are widely used are berry extracts of the saw
palmetto, pygeum, and stinging nettles.They are all available in pill or capsules, so ask your doc if any of these
herbs could help you.If you are not a big fruit or vegetable eater, you might consider a beta-carotene supplement.
One step that can be undertaken immediately, which is eating lots of tomatoes and tomato sauces, highly spiked with
garlic.Spaghetti, anyone?
Male Menopause Linked To Higher Risk Of Heart Disease
This exacerbates the situation at home and at work.
The fatigue makes it difficult to complete tasks at work as well as at home. The irritability and depression, and also anxiety make it difficult for others to get close enough to help.
