Key Wellness Strategies and Self-Care Techniques for Shrinking an Enlarged Prostate (BPH)

• Understanding BPH:
  • BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) is an enlargement of the prostate that affects urination by constricting the urethra and reducing bladder capacity.
• Hormonal Mechanism Behind BPH:
  • Estrogen, a byproduct of testosterone converted by the enzyme aromatase, increases prostate size.
  • Aromatase is produced by testicles and fat cells.
  • Estrogen levels increase with age and body fat, while testosterone decreases.
  • Intraprostatic estrogen (within the prostate) may differ from blood estrogen levels.
  • Estrogen also raises prolactin, which can further enlarge the prostate.
• Factors Increasing Aromatase and Estrogen:
  • Aging
  • Excess body fat
  • High insulin levels (linked to high-carb diets)
  • Alcohol consumption
  • Whole grains (despite being considered healthy)
  • Hormone replacement therapy and birth control pills
• Strategies to Inhibit Aromatase and Reduce Estrogen:
  • Weight loss to reduce body fat and insulin levels (e.g., ketogenic diet recommended).
  • Regular consumption of cruciferous vegetables such as kale, broccoli, cabbage, and arugula, which help inhibit aromatase.
  • Eating white button mushrooms, preferably sautéed (raw mushrooms are ineffective).
  • Consuming flaxseed (though some concerns exist, evidence suggests it does not significantly increase estrogen).
  • Drinking green tea for its aromatase-inhibiting effects.
  • The most effective remedy: daily consumption of lemon peel (citrus peel), which contains compounds that inhibit aromatase and provide multiple health benefits.
• Recommended Daily Drink Recipe for Prostate Health:
  • Blend one whole lemon (including peel) with a glass of water until creamy.
  • Optionally add 5-10 drops of liquid Stevia or ½ to 1 cup of blueberries (which also support prostate health).
  • Drink this shake any time of day to help reduce estrogen and support a healthy testosterone-to-estrogen ratio.
• Additional Tips:
  • Avoid excessive alcohol and high-carb diets to keep insulin and aromatase levels low.
  • Prioritize natural methods to inhibit aromatase rather than relying on hormone therapies or supplements with uncertain effects.
