5 undeniable ways to protect your prostate

When it comes to taking care of one’s health, men tend to lag behind their female counterparts. Maybe it’s the machismo, maybe it’s that men are more afraid of doctors, or maybe it’s because men don’t like to admit that something might be wrong.

Whatever the reason, the lack of self care will eventually come back to haunt them and very often it comes in the form of prostate problems. Most men ignore these obvious signs, which only makes the problem worse. If you are unsure if you have prostate issues and want to know for sure, you can immediately figure that out by reviewing the signs of prostate problems here.

If you find that you’re ready to support a healthy prostate, then consider the following five suggestions.

Lower your stress

Easier said than done, but not making it any less important, stress is a key element that promotes and exacerbates prostate related issues. This stress can originate from many different areas, but most often stems from unhealthy relationships, job settings, and financial challenges. Knowing that you can’t always sever your relationships, ditch your job, and live financially free, ways to diffuse these stressors becomes one of the most important parts of the day.

The most obvious and most cost effective solution is mindfulness, or meditation. Expressing gratitude daily and connecting with nature are two fruitful habits, and starting a meditation routine will eventually yield several benefits. Once considered to be “fluffy” with no real tangible benefits, a meditation practice is becoming more mainstream, because quite simply, it works when done consistently.

You can also consider other stress busting alternatives like using lavender essential oil, reishi mushroom, chamomile tea, magnesium oil, and massage therapy.

Eliminate the worst foods for the prostate

Of course, eliminating the sources of aggravation are just as important as adding in the things that can help. This is where the rubber meets the road, and unfortunately it is often overlooked due to emotional ties to destructive habits.

When eliminating and reducing foods and beverages, the most obvious to avoid are processed foods and sugar, dairy, alcohol, and caffeine, all of which are irritants to the prostate and the bladder. Lesser known foods to consider taking out of your diet and seeing if they help alleviate symptoms include conventionally raised red meat, eggs and poultry, and some spicy foods.

Become more active

Due to its location, the prostate can easily have diminished circulation, which reduces the amount of fresh blood and oxygen to the area. This is why reducing your sitting and becoming more active is beneficial, and why engaging in high intensity exercise a few times a week could be a boon to your prostate health.

If you feel you don’t have the time to sustain an exercise routine and can’t reduce your amount of sitting, then maximize and retrofit your daily habits to at least make some progress. This could simply involve a 30 minute walk in nature each day, and/or rebounding on a mini trampoline 15 minutes a day. If you work at a desk, consider options like a stand-up desk, a kneeling chair, or simply take a quick break to stand up every hour or so. An easy way to facilitate a “forced” break is to drink more water, so your bladder forces you to take trips to the bathroom.

This will help alleviate the congestion and stagnation of the prostate, and allow it to breathe and receive the nutrients and blood circulation it requires to be healthy.

Eat more antioxidants

Some of the most powerful antioxidants are always mentioned when it comes to prostate health because they are key to enhancing the body’s ability to fight free radicals, which can harm the walnut-sized prostate directly. If you get these antioxidants primarily in food form, you will also enjoy many of the additional nutrients required to keep the prostate in good shape. Some high antioxidant foods include organic blueberries, goji berries, elderberries, turmeric, cloves, dark chocolate, pecans, elderberries, cranberries, blackberries, kidney beans, and cilantro.

If you decide to also supplement with antioxidants, consider resveratrol, lycopene, flavonoids, saw palmetto, and zinc (an important antioxidant mineral).

Start the ultimate supplement protocol

Recently, some important discoveries have been made in relation to supporting prostate health in a way that appears to be superior when used in a synergistic combination. The three substances that were studied to support a healthy prostate include ursolic acid (from apple peels), curcumin (from turmeric), and resveratrol (from red grapes). These three antioxidant powerhouses just might be the optimal supplement routine, in combination with the other factors noted above, to support a healthy prostate.

You can get your ursolic acid from the Health Ranger’s Organic Apple Peel Powder, and your curcumin from the Health Ranger’s Turmeric Gold. Add in a high quality resveratrol, and you’ve put science and potency in your favor for optimal prostate support.
