healthy body tips

At some point in every man's life, he must face the dreaded prostate exam. Part of the dread is rooted in the discomfort of the exam and the other part is not knowing how the results will turn out. Prostate health symbolizes more than a man's sexuality- he equates it to his entire being. It is his manhood, his ability to function as a man and it is his life.

Medical technology has improved over the past 20 years, since the time my own Grandfather fell victim to prostate cancer. The research has also improved and men and their families can introduce prostate supporting supplements and diet starting in the mid to late 30s.

The Top 5 Supplements & Diet Changes for Improved Prostate Health:

1 Plant Sterols

Plant nutrients are powerful immune boosters

2. Saw Palmetto

Improves urinary flow, reduces inflammation of the prostate
3. Pygeum africanum

Herb that is an anti-inflammatory and increases blood flow to the prostate

4. Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fish Oils

Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids work to decrease the inflammation of the prostate.

5. Eat more Tomatoes, Cranberries & Pumpkinseeds

The lycopene in tomatoes is a phytonutrient with anti-prostate cancer properties.

Cranberries are one of nature's best weapons against cystitis and urinary tract infections. Cranberry juice is particulary important for men with inflamed or enlarged prostates who have a hard time eliminating urine. The key is to choose cranberry juice that does not contain sugar or artificial sweenters.

Pumpkinseeds contain zinc, sterols and essential fatty acids that treat prevent and can treat an enlarged prostate.

Key to prostate health is regular sex. Women may protest but the science has proven that the congestion that occurs in the prostate when it is not allowed to ejaculate causes inflammation. If this is a continual state of affairs, the prostate suffers and swelling is the result.

A few years ago I had heard about blood type and diet and the importance of eating certain foods based on your blood type. It has to do with the chemical reactions between foods and your particular blood type. I'm a type O and three years ago I picked up a pocket Eat Right 4 Your Type book that really has been a breath of fresh air.

This book explained why I cannot drinking orange juice. Despite growing up in FL, orange juice is too acidic for my stomach. It make perfect sense why I could never drink OJ by itself. This book also detailed the history of the blood types and the evolution of man and eating patterns.

It breaks down each blood type and foods, beverages and supplements that are healing and beneficial.

Type A types should basically stick to fruits and vegetables (high carbs / low fat).

They have thicker blood than other blood types, a sensitive immune system,

and should not consume dairy products, animal fats and meats. They are at

a heightened risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer.

Type B types should consume a balanced diet (fruits and vegetables, grains, fish, dairy, meat,

but avoid chicken). They have the best chance of bypassing or overcoming

everyday types of diseases, including heart disease and cancer.

Type AB types should consume a mostly vegetarian diet, and only on rare occasions some

fish, meat (no chicken), and dairy.

Type O types should basically stick to a high protein diet (including red meat), low carbs, and

enriched with fruits and vegetables. They should limit the intake of wheat germ,

whole wheat products, corn, and avoid dairy products and most nuts.

Type O types are commonly affected with hypothyroidism, high stomach acid

(leading to ulcers), and thinner blood with greater resistance to blood clotting.

I recommend this book as a guideline. I think it helps indivduals understand the history of their blood type and can prevent common ailments and certain diseases prevalent to certain blood types. For O's we have to be conscious of our thyroid and we can enjoy a high protein diet.

I picked up my book at the local CVS, but most natural health stores have copies and have blood type recipe books as well.

(University Heath Network) Turmeric has long been used in traditional eastern medicine to prevent scarring in healing wounds. A recent study published in the February Journal of Clinical Investigation entitled “Curcumin Prevents and Reverses Murine Cardiac Hypertrophy” shows that this folk remedy may have a strong foundation in science.

Curcumin, an ingredient in turmeric, has effects deep in the cell nucleus that go beyond what most herbal remedies are capable of. “Curcumin’s ability to shut off one of the major switches right at the chromosome source where the enlargement and scarring genes are being turned on is impressive,” says Dr. Peter Liu, cardiologist in the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre and Scientific Director at the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.

Cardiac hypertrophy is a strong predictor of future cardiac problems, including heart attack and heart failure. Researchers at the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre of the Toronto General Hospital found that when curcumin was given orally to mice with enlarged hearts, it prevented and even reversed the hypertrophy. If the clinical trials prove that curcumin is effective in humans as well, it will offer the possibility of an inexpensive and safe treatment for millions of people.

While the results of the study are exciting, Dr. Liu advises a cautious and moderate approach. “Whether you are young or old; male or female; the larger your heart is, the higher your risk is for developing heart attacks or heart failure in the future. However, until clinical trials are done, we don’t recommend patients to take curcumin routinely. You are better off to take action today by lowering blood pressure, reducing cholesterol, exercising and healthy eating.”
