Prostate Disease and Nutrition
*Nearly 60% of men between the ages of
40 and 59 years have an enlarged prostate
(also called BPH-benign prostate hypertrophy).
*In 1997, the estimated amount of new
cases of prostate cancer was approximately
209,900 and the estimated number of deaths from
prostate disease was 41,800.
*Prostate cancer is second to lung
cancer as the most frequent form of cancer
deaths in males
*Animal fat-rich diets, such as the
U.S. male’s average diet,
yields a 30-40 times greater chance of prostate than that
of Chinese males
and 6-10 times greater than that of Japanese males
both cultures
which consume significantly less saturated animal fats.
One of the growing medical concerns for males today is the increase in prostate disease. At around 40 years old, the testosterone levels begin to decrease. This decline results in an increase of dihydrostestosterone levels, which causes the over-production of prostate cells. When dihydrostestosterone levels and prostate cell production is excessive, the prostate enlarges and the bladder is obstructed. It is not uncommon for symptoms such as an increase in urinary frequency and urgency, including awakening in the middle of the night (nycturia), to occur. If there is urine retention from major blockage of the bladder, the urine, and toxins, may even seep into the blood.
A growing area of research is preventing the disease in the form of
invasive cancer, which would begin in the prostate then rapidly spread throughout the
body. There are natural alternatives that yield positive outcomes in a therapeutic
setting.
