For prostatitis treatment, nutritions and supplements are of great importance
Prostatitis can be difficult to treat. Acute, chronic, or nonbacterial prostatitis are infectious conditions that can be treated naturally with lifestyle changes, nutritional support, acupuncture, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The key to this approach is the elimination of inflammatory agents as well as supplementing with anti-inflammatory nutrients and supplements.
Nutrition and prostatitis
1. Eating organic food helps reduce exposure to pesticides, herbicides, and hormones.
2. Eat whole, fresh, unrefined, and unprocessed foods, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, soy, beans, seeds, nuts, olive oil, and cold-water fish (salmon, tuna, sardines, halibut, and mackerel).
3. Avoid sugar, dairy products, refined foods, fried foods, junk foods, and caffeine.
4.Eliminate food sensitivities. Use an elimination diet to determine food sensitivities.
5.Drink 50% of your body weight in ounces of water daily (e.g., if you weigh 150 lbs, drink 75 oz of water daily).
Supplements and prostatitis
Supplements are intended to provide nutritional support. Because a supplement or a recommended dose may not be appropriate for all persons, a physician should be consulted before using any product.
Recommended doses follow:
Bromelain (proteolytic enzymes)—Take 400 mg 3 times daily away from meals. Proteolytic enzymes have anti-inflammatory properties and can potentize the effectiveness of antibiotics.
Vitamin C—Take 500-1000 mg 3 times daily.
Vitamin E—Take 400 IUs daily.
Flaxseed meal—Grind 2-4 tablespoons daily. Flaxseed meal is a better choice due to its fiber, lignan, and vitamin content, but flaxseed oil (1 tbsp daily) can be substituted.
Probiotics—If antibiotics are taken, supplement with probiotics, such as acidophilus, is used to replenish the beneficial gut flora.
Quercetin—Has anti-inflammatory properties.
Selenium—An antioxidant may be more effective when taken with vitamin E.
Zinc—Take 30 mg daily. Zinc is vital to the health of the prostate, which concentrates and secretes zinc. Zinc also prevents infections.
In summary, although nutritions and supplements are very important, patients need to cure this disease firstly. Once suffering from this disease, patients can take the natural herbal medicine diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill, and then take these nutritions and supplements as an adjuvant treatment.
