Why are so many men facing prostate problems and “ED”?

Prostate issues have two main sources – chemical imbalances or hormone imbalances. And to complicate it even more – these two reasons can be intertwined.

Men, even though viral and strong, often forget the needs of their body chemistry.
Stress, both physical and mental, affects the body chemistry.
First, I see an increase in sugars and caffeine. The diet begins to waiver toward more fast food or even skipping meals. The annual stress test becomes more of an issue and easier to put off. Then the cholesterol begins to get out of range and even sugars rise out of the normal range. None of this really seems important until that one intimate moment when things no longer work as they should.

With lots of new drugs being introduced to “give you back your intimate moments”, I want to stress to each and every man that you should without hesitation see your medical doctor for a full checkup before trying anything pharmaceutical or over the counter medication. Eliminate the possibility of prostate cancer and then work to regain your virile masculine self.  

Start by following these steps:

• Talk with your spouse, health practitioner, or nutritional councilor to make sure your environment is healthy in Xenoestrogens and food source estrogenics.  Estrogens in excess in your lifestyle create problems for your personal hormone balances. Xenoestrogens are found in cosmetics, hair color, topical skin applications like lotions, laundry products, cleaning products and more. Start reading your food labels for estrogenic sources like soy and eliminate as many of these as possible.

• Control your sugar intake. Read your labels and be aware of the amount of sugar and carbohydrates (which convert quickly to sugar in the body). Even fruit in excess becomes unhealthy. Fruit should always be eaten by itself on an empty stomach. Your insulin balances are delicate and the introduction of excesses of sugar through your foods is very disruptive to your body balances.

• Control your cholesterol levels. Fats put men at risk for poor prostate health. Make healthy food choices. Increase your fresh or steamed vegetables and salads to make them as least 60% of your daily diet. Limit your intake of red meats to two times weekly at the most.

• Include healthy fiber in your diet by using whole grains, flax meal (at least 2 Tablespoons daily), and Salba (at least 2 Tablespoons daily).

•  Avoid refined foods.

• Avoid sodas, liquor, beer and tobacco. These can be dangerous habits.
