June 10-17 is Men’s Health Week.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common, noncancerous enlargement of the prostate gland, common in American and European men over the age of 50. While the actual cause is not completely understood, experts believe it is closely linked to hormone levels.

Try the following to help reduce the risk of BPH:

1.) Eat a diet low in saturated and trans-fats, focusing instead on the healthier monounsaturated and omega-3 fats.

2.) Eat more whole soy foods. Asian men have a lower risk of BPH and some researchers believe it is related to their intake of soy foods.

3.) Avoid symptom triggers such as caffeine and alcohol, which increase the need to urinate and may irritate the bladder.

4.) Avoid constipation by increasing fiber in your diet. The pressure from constipation may make the symptoms of BPH worse.

5.) Have regular check-ups. The National Institute on Aging recommends that men get regular medical checkups including a prostate exam.

6.) For additional insurance against male health challenges, I recommend nutritional supplementation:

Male Advantage, from Body Wise International, addresses the unique nutritional needs of men and is specifically formulated to promote heart health, energy, and overall health.

Saw Palmetto and Nettle Root contain nutrients known to provide nutritional support for healthy prostate functioning.

Korean Ginseng Root and Damiana are traditional herbs that have been used for centuries to support healthy male functioning.

Bromelain, an enzyme found in pineapples, is known to support healthy digestion.

Male Advantage capsules are scientifically processed with advanced nutritional technology. They contain no yeast, egg, or dairy, no artificial coloring, no flavoring, preservatives, sodium, or gluten.

Male Advantage contains 17 key ingredients for male health.

I encourage you to share this information with the men in your life...Billie
