Is Eating Tomatoes Good for Treating Chronic Prostatitis?

 

It’s said that tomatoes can cure prostatitis, so some patients eat a large number of tomatoes. Is eating tomatoes good for treating chronic prostatitis? Is it true that lycopene contained in tomatoes can treat chronic prostatitis?

 

 

 

Lycopene is a natural carotenoid that can improve the body's oxidative stress ability with an anti-inflammatory effect and enhance human immunity. Lycopene is mainly found in red foods such as tomatoes, grapefruit, watermelon, etc. It can remove free radicals in the prostate and protect the prostate tissue.

 

A study from Harvard University in the United States found that carotenoids have a special relationship with the prostate. Only lycopene has an apparent protective effect among all of the carotenoids that have been studied. Compared with those who took low doses of lycopene in their diet, men who took high doses (more than 6.5 mg per day) have a 21.5% lesser risk of prostate cancer.

 

In the treatment of chronic prostatitis, the regulation of lycopene in the human body is the key to the prevention and treatment of prostate diseases. Modern medical research has proved that with the increase of age, the lycopene in the male body will gradually decrease, which will lead to some prostate diseases, such as prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, etc. Therefore, men must uptake lycopene. Lycopene can inhibit oxidative free radicals, protect prostate cells from oxidative damage, enhance their physiological activity, and remove free radicals in the prostate.

 

Eating more tomatoes has a certain effect on prostate disease, mainly because of the function of lycopene in tomatoes. The effect of lycopene on the prostate varies from person to person, but in general, lycopene has great health benefits for the prostate.

 

However, eating tomatoes alone cannot achieve the purpose of treating chronic prostatitis. It needs to be combined with other treatment methods. To treat chronic prostatitis, it is recommended to take Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill, an herbal medicine, to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and clear heat and toxic substances, which can eliminate the discomfort caused by chronic prostatitis.

 

 

The prostate contains a certain amount of antibacterial factors, the main component of which is zinc, and its antibacterial effect is similar to that of penicillin. When people have chronic prostatitis, the zinc decreases significantly with great difficulty increasing. Compared with the common zinc-containing drugs, apples are easier to digest, and the zinc is relatively high, which has benefits for improving physical fitness and promoting absorption and digestion.

 

Fresh Grapes

There is a healthy dietary method: 250 grams of fresh grapes, peeled, cored and smashed, added with an appropriate amount of warm water. You can drink that self-made juice 1-2 times a day. It has the effect of preventing chronic prostatitis. This diet is also antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, so you can use it as an assistant method in treating chronic prostatitis.

 

Like tomatoes, watermelons also contain a lot of lycopene. A one-inch slice of watermelon has lycopene equal to four tomatoes. Therefore, eating watermelon can also have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, which is good for preventing chronic prostatitis.

 

Some studies have found that certain substances extracted from a pomegranate can effectively delay the production of prostate cancer cells and better promote the self-destruction of cancer cells. In addition, studies have found that eating pomegranate can effectively curb the occurrence and deterioration of prostate tumor diseases.
