Chronic Prostatitis Is Not Equal To Kidney Deficiency And These Three Foods Are Recommended

Chronic prostatitis can be divided into bacterial and non-bacterial types. Patients with non-bacterial types become the majority. And there are also a significant number of patients with classic symptoms of a chronic bacterial condition.

In many traditional Chinese medicine clinics, it is common to hear that doctors say a patient with prostatitis has kidney deficiency. Many people think of chronic prostatitis as a result of kidney deficiency and many of them think that kidney deficiency is equal to a certain kidney disease. They become so worried and anxious that they go around seeking medical advice. However, after examination, no abnormal changes have been found in the patient's kidney. Why is that?

Originally, the kidney deficiency that Chinese medicine doctors always talk about and the kidney disease that bio-medicine experts always mention are two different things. Although they are similar in naming, the meanings of them on physiology and pathology are different.

In the view of Chinese medicine, kidney is not only a concept of anatomy, but also includes the physiological functions and pathological changes of the reproductive system, urinary system, neurological system, respiratory system and others. While in terms of bio-medicine, the kidney is an important organ of the urinary system.

For the treatment of chronic prostatitis, antibiotics are often used in bio-medicine, but they are easy to produce side effects on patients. As for the Chinese medicine, Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill is a more suitable option, which can effectively eliminate inflammation and improve the male prostate health. What's more, it has no drug resistance or side effects. Therefore, patients can take it safely.

Aside from the treatment, the daily diet is also important for patients with chronic prostatitis. As is known to all, spicy and greasy food should be avoided during the prostatitis treatment. To better improve the condition, there are three wholesome foods that can be recommended to patients.

1. Kelp seaweed

It not only contains sufficient iodine, calcium, iron, carotene, riboflavin, thiamine, niacin and vitamins, but also can prevent cancer, goiter, arteriosclerosis and constipation. It is good for the heart, weight loss, bones and blood.

2. Carrot

Carrots are rich in dietary fiber, which is conducive to delaying the absorption of glucose in the intestine, reducing the increase of blood sugar, regulating blood sugar level, improving glucose tolerance and increasing insulin sensitivity. Through the hypoglycemic effect of insulin mutual assistance, the demand for insulin can be reduced.

3. Nuts

Nuts, such as walnuts, pine nuts, walnuts, peanuts and so on, are good for patients. A study by health researchers found that those who ate a few nuts five or more times a week had half the risk of coronary heart disease compared with those who didn't. This is because nuts are salt-free and rich in unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E and magnesium, which are better than meat and are good for the body health.
