Apple Therapy for Prostatitis
In recent years, people have gradually realized that trace elements are indispensable to the normal operation of many important physiological functions of organs and tissues in vivo. But what about their role in the male reproductive system? Zinc has become one of the most popular topics in various trace elements.
Although the importance of zinc has been noticed by medical workers half a century ago, it is still a matter of recent years to recognize its important impact on the male reproductive system, especially in chronic prostatitis, which has been paid more and more attention by medical researchers and clinical workers.
So, what role does zinc play in prostate tissue? An experimental study abroad found that prostatic fluid contains a certain amount of antimicrobial components, and further studies have proved that this antimicrobial component is a zinc-containing protein, its main component is zinc.
This zinc-containing protein can affect the phagocytosis of white blood cells. Its antimicrobial activity is similar to penicillin. Therefore, this antimicrobial component is called the prostatic fluid antimicrobial factor.
Zinc also plays an important role in anti-urinary tract and prostate infections in men. Many scholars at home and abroad have also found that in patients with prostatic inflammation, the zinc content in the prostatic fluid or seminal plasma of most people decreases, especially in patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis.
Are people with lower zinc content prone to chronic prostatitis, or do they have lower zinc content after chronic prostatitis? At present, there is no definite conclusion in the medical field, but most scholars believe that the decrease of zinc content may be a prerequisite for bacterial growth in the prostatic gland.
Clinical medical workers have found that zinc content in blood and prostatic fluid is related to the ability of prostatic antimicrobial and bactericidal. The ability of defense against inflammation and antimicrobial activity decreases when zinc content decreases.
Zinc is a very important trace element in prostatic fluid. It has been reported that the amount of zinc in the blood and prostatic fluid is directly related to the bactericidal ability of the prostate. That is to say when the current zinc content in the prostate is high, the prostatic self-antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory ability is strong. If men are infected with chronic prostatitis, zinc content will be significantly reduced.
Clinical medical researchers have found that apple juice is more effective than zinc-containing drugs in the past, and it is safer, easier to digest and more acceptable than zinc-containing drugs for patients.
Experts point out that apple can prevent and treat chronic prostatitis because zinc in apples can improve zinc deficiency in patients with chronic prostatitis. Therefore, men often eat apples for their protective function, which is called "apple therapy". Generally speaking, the effect of "apple therapy" is proportional to the concentration of apple juice. The Higher the concentration of apple juice is, the better the curative effect will be.
The nutritional value of apples also includes:
1. The colloid and trace element chromium in apple can keep blood sugar stable and effectively reduce cholesterol.
2. In the air-polluted environment, eating more apples can improve the respiratory system and lung function, and protect the lungs from pollution and smoke.
3. The natural chemical antioxidants of polyphenols and flavonoids in apples can reduce the risk of lung cancer and prevent lead poisoning.
4. Apple's unique fragrance can alleviate the bad mood caused by excessive stress and has the effect of refreshing the brain. It can help patients maintain a positive and optimistic attitude in the long-term treatment process, so as to avoid adverse effects on treatment.
5. Apples are rich in crude fibers, which can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, help the human body to discharge waste regularly and reduce the harm of harmful substances to the skin.
6. Apple contains a lot of trace elements such as magnesium, sulfur, iron, copper, iodine, manganese and zinc, which can make the skin greasy, lubricated, ruddy and lustrous.
By eating apples to supplement zinc, which not only has no side effects but also is conducive to human absorption and utilization. For patients with prostatitis, eating 2-3 apples a day can get enough zinc to assist in the treatment of prostatitis. Drinking apple juice or eating apple jam can also be chosen. But food therapy can only be used as adjuvant therapy, and drug treatment is the most fundamental.
In addition to apple therapy, conservative drugs also play an important role in chronic prostatitis, such as Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill, Plantain seed, Polygonum aviculare, Dianthus Superbus, Safflower, Peach kernel, Houttuynia cordata, cowherb seed and other 50 kinds of traditional natural medicine, which make it has heat-clearing, detoxification, and blood-activating properties.
In order to get twice the result with half the effort in treatment and prevent a recurrence, patients must develop good habits in daily life, and pay attention to avoiding sedentary habits, regular life, and proper exercise.
