6 foods that help shrink the prostate (slideshow)

foods that shrink the prostate

Men who have symptoms of an enlarged prostate (aka, benign prostatic hyperplasia, BPH), such as urinary hesitation, frequent nighttime urination, and weak urine flow, among others, have a number of options to help shrink the gland. Some of those choices include medications for BPH, which can have nasty side effects, or various natural and herbal remedies.

One of those natural routes includes making lifestyle modifications. By including the following six foods in your daily menu, you can increase your chances of reducing inflammation and size.

Remember, however, that you can experience symptoms of BPH and not actually have an enlarged prostate and vice versa: your prostate may be enlarged yet you will not have symptoms. In either case, making these six foods a part of your diet, along with other natural treatments, such as exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, keeping your hormones in balance, taking natural supplements, and limiting irritants such as alcohol and caffeine, will support both prostate health and urinary tract health.

With that introduction, get ready to love these beverages and foods that shrink the prostate.
