I promised to share information about prostate health this month. Rosemary Gladstar states that 60% of our male population between the ages of 40-60 suffer from benign prostatic hyperplasia. The prostate is extremely susceptible to toxic influences. This can be caused by poor diet and other environmental factors, leading to a toxic colon and toxins in the blood and tissues. The prostate is located near the most toxic part of the colon. Stress is also a factor.
It is my opinion that suppositories are an effective way to deal with inflammation of the prostate. Optimal Health Network is a great resource for essential oils and trays to make your own. The web site is very informative and reliable. I’m sharing some of my favorite prostate health recipes here.
| Recipes & Dietary Suggestions |
Dietary Suggestions Some foods, vitamins, and minerals are particularly helpful for prostate health. These can help reduce prostate inflammation: Pumpkin seeds (1/4 – 1/2 daily) Cucumbers (2 – 3 daily) Calcium/Magnesium (600 mg combined daily) Vitamin E (400 I.U. daily) Zinc (20 – 50 mg daily) Prostate Health Tea for Prostatitis 3 parts corn silk 3 parts watermelon seeds 2 parts nettle 1 part cleavers 1 part uva-ursi Combine ingredients as an infusion. Infuse as tea. Drink 3 to 4 cups daily. I hope this helps out some of the men in my community and the people who love them! |
