Resumo

TLDRThe video explains the connection between diet and prostate health, specifically addressing benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It outlines the role of hormones like testosterone and DHT in prostate enlargement. While medications can help reduce BPH, they may have harmful side effects. Instead, natural inhibitors like lycopene found in tomatoes are suggested to help mitigate the risks of prostate enlargement and cancer. The video emphasizes the importance of including tomatoes in your diet while cautioning against consuming dairy due to its adverse effects on prostate health.

Conclusões

  • 🍅 Lycopene is essential for prostate health.
  • 💊 Medications for BPH can have serious side effects.
  • 🥗 Cooked tomatoes with olive oil enhance lycopene absorption.
  • 🚫 Avoid dairy to prevent prostate enlargement.
  • 🌿 Natural inhibitors like lycopene are safer alternatives.

    The video discusses benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition where the prostate enlarges, causing urinary issues and potentially leading to cancer. It highlights testosterone and its conversion to DHT as factors contributing to prostate enlargement. As men age, the activity of the enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT increases, which exacerbates the issue, even though DHT levels typically drop with age. Although medications can reduce prostate size, they come with significant side effects, raising the question of natural alternatives.

    so there's one food that you want to eat
  • 00:00:02
    if you want to shrink in EN large
  • 00:00:06
    prostate prostate is a gland that wraps
  • 00:00:09
    around this little tube underneath your
  • 00:00:11
    bladder and when it gets bigger normally
  • 00:00:14
    it should be like a size of a walnut
  • 00:00:16
    when it enlarges it kind of interferes
  • 00:00:19
    with the urine flow and that can keep
  • 00:00:21
    you up at night and enlarg prostate can
  • 00:00:23
    also turn into a cancer situation and
  • 00:00:26
    the name that they use for this enlar
  • 00:00:28
    prostate is called benign prostatic
  • 00:00:32
    hyperplasia what's involved here well
  • 00:00:34
    this is kind of what the theory is in
  • 00:00:36
    order for the prostate to enlarge you
  • 00:00:38
    have to have certain type of hormones
  • 00:00:41
    that activate it okay and one is called
  • 00:00:44
    testosterone because testosterone is a
  • 00:00:47
    anabolic hormone that you know helps
  • 00:00:50
    your muscles grow so testosterone
  • 00:00:52
    through the help of a certain enzyme
  • 00:00:54
    will convert into DHD which is a more
  • 00:00:57
    powerful form of testosterone and
  • 00:00:59
    apparently this DHT is involved in the
  • 00:01:02
    enlargement of the prostate and so the
  • 00:01:04
    mechanism of one of the top selling
  • 00:01:05
    drugs for this condition inhibits that
  • 00:01:08
    enzyme to reduce DHT as we age
  • 00:01:13
    testosterone goes down DHT also goes
  • 00:01:17
    down and also as men age the prostate
  • 00:01:20
    enlarges so how can that be a solution
  • 00:01:23
    since DHT is normally lower as we get
  • 00:01:27
    older it's very confusing so in other
  • 00:01:29
    words a apparently the real problem is
  • 00:01:32
    that as we age that enzyme increases in
  • 00:01:36
    its activity thereby giving you more DHT
  • 00:01:39
    and creating a more profound effect over
  • 00:01:42
    the prostate as far as the top
  • 00:01:44
    medication which I'm not going to
  • 00:01:45
    mention they found that by taking the
  • 00:01:47
    medication you can decrease the
  • 00:01:48
    enlargement of your prostate by about
  • 00:01:51
    23% but there's some slight minor
  • 00:01:55
    complications side effects decrease
  • 00:01:58
    libido increase risk of prostate cancer
  • 00:02:01
    as well as a syndrome that can occur
  • 00:02:04
    when you stop taking the medication and
  • 00:02:06
    that Syndrome has other side effects
  • 00:02:08
    like signs of suicidal impulses atrophy
  • 00:02:11
    of the penis and the development of
  • 00:02:14
    breast tissue but other than that it's
  • 00:02:16
    totally fine the question is there a
  • 00:02:18
    natural inhibitor of this enzyme the
  • 00:02:21
    answer is yes in one study it showed
  • 00:02:23
    that it can decrease the risk of an a
  • 00:02:25
    prostate enlargement by 21% and prostate
  • 00:02:29
    cancer this natural enzyme inhibitor
  • 00:02:32
    also decreases inflammation it has a
  • 00:02:34
    very potent antioxidant effect and the
  • 00:02:37
    name of this compound is called lopine
  • 00:02:40
    now lopine is called a carotenoid which
  • 00:02:44
    is a kind of a category of a lot of
  • 00:02:46
    different plant-based compounds and
  • 00:02:48
    lopine is in watermelon it's in carrot
  • 00:02:52
    and it's even in grapefruit but if you
  • 00:02:54
    want to get a large amount of lopen you
  • 00:02:56
    want to get it from Tomatoes if you can
  • 00:02:59
    get them from your G Garden or the
  • 00:03:00
    Farmers Market that would be great you
  • 00:03:01
    can get them as canned tomatoes or
  • 00:03:04
    tomato sauce or tomato paste because
  • 00:03:07
    apparently the lopine and tomatoes
  • 00:03:10
    becomes more bioavailable when you heat
  • 00:03:14
    the Tomato of course don't get the
  • 00:03:16
    tomato sauce that has the sugar added
  • 00:03:18
    get the one that as natural as possible
  • 00:03:20
    now the other interesting thing about
  • 00:03:22
    lopine is it's a fat soble compound
  • 00:03:26
    which means that if you're cooking with
  • 00:03:28
    tomatoes you want add a little olive oil
  • 00:03:30
    with it because the extra fat with heat
  • 00:03:33
    will help extract more of that lopine
  • 00:03:35
    from it if you just include maybe twice
  • 00:03:38
    a week some type of tomato dish whether
  • 00:03:41
    these tomatoes are on your salad or in
  • 00:03:43
    some type of dish that would be a really
  • 00:03:46
    great thing for your prostate so there
  • 00:03:48
    are other things you can take to help
  • 00:03:50
    your prostate zinc is at the top of the
  • 00:03:52
    list ratol is another compound that they
  • 00:03:55
    used with uh lopine now as a side note
  • 00:03:58
    uh probably the worst thing for the
  • 00:04:00
    prostate is milk because there's certain
  • 00:04:04
    uh growth hormones in milk that can
  • 00:04:06
    enlarge the prostate as well and even
  • 00:04:08
    when I was in practice I remember uh
  • 00:04:09
    several older men coming in and and
  • 00:04:12
    explaining that every time they consume
  • 00:04:14
    some Dairy when they would wake up the
  • 00:04:16
    next morning they had a a much worse
  • 00:04:18
    time urinating probably because of the
  • 00:04:20
    enlargement of the prostate so Dairy is
  • 00:04:22
    something you would want to avoid now
  • 00:04:24
    that you know the best food for the
  • 00:04:25
    prostate the next thing you need to know
  • 00:04:27
    is what to avoid there are four things
  • 00:04:29
    things to avoid to prevent an enlarge
  • 00:04:32
    prostate and I put that in this video
