let’s talk about benign prostatic

hyperplasia what does hyperplasia mean

it means enlargement okay so this BPH

problem is basically an enlarged

prostate it affects your urination the

stream of your urine is a bit on the

weak side you might find that you

dribble after you urinate and you just

might have the Sensation that your

bladder is not empty so we’re going to

talk about this and there’s actually

this one drink that you can consume

every day to help you shrink the

prostate but more important than the

remedy is to understand the mechanism

and how you develop this problem in the

first place a lot of men as they get

older develop this condition and some

even develop prostate cancer so this

video is going to cover both topics so

basically you have this prostate

that is just underneath your urinary

bladder and there’s a little tube that

comes out of the urinary bladder okay

that’s called the urethra and the

prostate wraps around that and normally

it should be small but when it enlarges

it becomes bigger and it can constrict

the little tube that allows urine to

flow and even become so big it can push

up into the urinary bladder decreasing

the volume of your urinary bladder so

you really don’t have the full capacity

to hold urine all of the estrogen that

women have and that men have

actually originate from testosterone so

estrogen is a byproduct of testosterone

and the convert testosterone to estrogen

you need this enzyme called aromatase

and aromatase is made by the testicle as

well as your fat cells so that’s number

one of this Foundation number two excess

estrogen

increases the size of the prostate

that’s interesting because you probably

thought that your problem was too much

testosterone but if that’s true then why

does testosterone decrease with age in

men estrogen increases with age and like

I said before estrogen is an anabolic

hormone it makes things get bigger

here’s another little uh thing

intraprostatic estrogen levels that

means the estrogen within the prostate

is not dependent on the estrogen in the

blood so you can’t really figure out how

much estrogen you have in the prostate

by measuring the levels in your blood

estrogen also increases another hormone

called prolactin that can also increase

the size of the prostate phytoestrogens

certain phytochemicals in plants

can mimic estrogen but

not very strongly in fact very weakly so

if we look at human estrogen compared to

plant estrogen plant estrogen is

basically about 10 000 to a hundred and

forty thousand times less strong so this

is why sometimes people are confused

when they’re eating certain plants and

herbs that might increase estrogen it’s

a very very very tiny amount and so

you’re never going to have to worry

about becoming estrogen dominant if you

consume any of these plant-based

estrogen compounds and I’m really

talking about the

phytoestrogens in

pumpkin seeds and saw palmetto and even

certain types of soy of course if you’re

going to do soy you have to really make

sure it’s always organic because most of

the soy is GMO but the remedy that I’m

going to recommend for the prostate is

not any one of those what I’m going to

recommend is we focus on inhibiting that

enzyme that I mentioned remember we

talked about testosterone turning into

estrogen okay with help of that enzyme

called aromatase what we want to do is

we want to inhibit that enzyme naturally

if you can inhibit that enzyme you’ll

have less production of estrogen and

hopefully you can shrink the prostate

now the first thing to know is how does

this enzyme increase okay because it

does increase with age unfortunately and

also it can increase with body fat this

is why losing weight is an important

thing it can increase with insulin I’ve

talked a lot about that topic in fact if

you’re on keto you’re going to be a lot

better off because you’re then going

they decrease the enzyme directly by

reducing insulin this is why even

diabetics or people that do high carb

diets have a big problem with the

prostate now another thing that

increases this enzyme alcohol I’m sorry

it does alcohol is definitely a factor

it can actually just make more estrogen

in your body another one is whole grains

so-called healthy foods that they say

you should be consuming and then you

also have hormone replacement therapy or

birth control pills which you just need

to know that like estrogen can also

increase that enzyme what will decrease

that enzyme this is the most important

thing you need to know from this whole

video number one regular consumption of

cruciferous vegetables like kale

broccoli cabbage arugula all of the

cruciferous have the capacity of

decreasing that enzyme helping you

regulate this extra bit of estrogen that

you have another thing that will help

you is white button mushrooms make sure

you saute them don’t eat them raw

because you don’t get the effect if you

have it raw flaxseed which I know some

people are concerned it’s going to

increase your estrogen it’s not going to

but if you you’ve heard conflicting

information

you have two choices you can actually

read the studies down below or just just

omit that remedy altogether because it’s

not the most powerful one another remedy

would be green tea but the biggest

remedy I’m going to recommend okay and

I’m going to put the links down below is

citrus peel okay the peelings of lemon

apparently there are some really

interesting things in lemon peel that

not only inhibit that enzyme aromatase

but will perform all sorts of other

benefits for not just the prostate but

for the whole body there’s actually five

times more nutrition in that peel than

the actual juice so in addition to

losing weight with healthy keto reducing

the insulin consuming cruciferous

vegetables

all you need to do you can do this at

any time of the day take a whole lemon

okay put it in the blender

the glass of water okay and then blend

it make it all nice and creamy maybe

blend it for 30 seconds and you can also

then add about five to ten drops of

liquid Stevia okay to sweeten it or you

can add one half to one cup of

blueberries which also support the

prostate as well you can blend all that

together and drink it as a shake either

with or without the blueberries the

lemon peel is the most important because

we’re trying to reduce that aromatase so

we can reduce the estrogen and keep

these ratios of higher testosterone or

normal testosterone to lower estrogen so

out of anything you can do those are the

most important steps now there’s some

other really cool benefits with lemon

peels then if you haven’t seen this

video you must watch it I put it up

right here
