أهم عنصر غذائي على الاطلاق لتصغير البروستاتا _ تخلص الى الابد من تكرار التبول وتضخم البروستاتا

Well , today , I have a very interesting video on the prostate and the most important nutrient to maintain prostate health .

Now , this topic was inspired by my new favorite book called Soil Grass and Cancer .

OK .

This is a book that I found .

Uh it was very expensive .

It's basically $250 .

I couldn't find any used books , but it's filled with nutritional information .

That's just fascinating and each chapter is very , very different .

So the last chapter was on insulin , which I did a video on that and then this one was on the relationship between zinc and the prostate plan .

There's some great data I wanna share with you .

I think the first thing to talk about is this big confusion of what the prostate gland is .

Very .

Few people know what the prostate gland does .

All they know is that as you get older , it enlarges and then it it affects your urination .

50% of men over the age of 60 start to get an enlargement of the prostate gland .

So what we do know is as you age , the prostate gets larger and that can affect urination stream flow .

Uh libido retention of urine in your bladder , backup of urine in the kidney .

And so I think it's important to understand a little bit about the prostate and identifying why this occurs .

I mean , it's kind of weird that as men age , uh a high , high percentage of them start developing prostate problems and then as it gets bigger , you , you're more at risk of getting prostate cancers .

But just because the prostate enlarges doesn't mean that's cancer .

So let's first start with where the prostate is located .

There's a , a little bone in the front part of your pelvis called the csis pubis .

And the prostate is right behind that bone .

Ok ?

And then the prostate also is just underneath the bladder and there's a little tube that comes down from the bladder that this prostate wraps around and the size of the prostate would be about equivalent to a walnut size .

So it's not that big , but it can get quite big .

And then you have the rectum , which is right behind that .

So that's where it's located .

But what does it do ?

The prostate is about 70% gland and 30% muscle .

So it does two things .

It helps you secrete a certain fluid , which I'm gonna talk about .

And it also acts as a pump during ejaculation .

So it helps push this fluid through the tube , which is the same tube is where your urine goes through and then out of the body .

Now , sperm is created in the testicles .

Ok .

And it takes roughly about 60 to 70 days for a sperm to develop .

So the sperm travels through this little tube up into the area of the prostate where you have additional glands that produce fluid with the fluids of the prostate gland , all mixing together into what's called semen .

And so the purpose of semen is to fertilize sperm and sperm is basically just the genetics from a male body , which is then gonna join with the genetics of the ovary to form a human body .

So to do that , you need uh something to feed the sperm , which is fructose from the semen .

You need certain enzymes to help penetrate into the uterus lining because there's mucus there and a lot of other factors to keep this sperm fertile and the sperm outside the body can last roughly about five days .

So , on the other end in the female , you have this egg which is inactive and it becomes active once a sperm penetrates .

So that's a summary of what the prostate does in relationship to these other factors .

Now , what's interesting about the prostate gland in relationship to nutrition is that it is the gland that has the highest concentration of zinc .

So the prostate has 100 times more concentration of zinc than your blood .

Because if you test your blood and this normal zinc , it might not tell you what's going on inside the prostate gland .

So , in this book , I wanna mention a couple of points talking about the relationship between a zinc deficiency and what happens with the prostate gland .

Um But actually enlarges , there was a study done and I will put some links down below that shows a normal prostate .

OK ?

And the level of zinc that's in it , it's like 744 mcg .

And then you have a mild hypertrophy or enlarged prostate gland that has a lesser amount of Z which is 486 mcg .

Then they tested people with chronic prostatitis and that was at 470 mcg .

Now remember this is all compared to a normal prostate gland which has 744 mcg .

And then he talks about prostate and the cancer related to zinc .

Apparently that level was actually on average 273 mcg of zinc .

So we have this relationship between a zinc deficiency and inflammation in the prostate gland enlargement of the prostate gland and susceptibility to getting prostate cancer .

Very , very interesting .

The other point I wanna bring up about this is that you have a very powerful form of testosterone .

Ok , called the HT .

So , testosterone can convert to DH T with a certain enzyme .

Ok ?

And that's called five alpha reductase .

And so there are certain medications that inhibit that enzyme to help reduce DH T four .

Now pattern baldness , prostate hypertrophy , erectile dysfunction because too much of that hormone DH t can create better .

But what's interesting about that is zinc is a natural inhibitor of that enzyme .

Fascinating .

And we also know that people with low testosterone are usually zinc deficient .

So zinc is the most important trace mineral to make sure your testosterone is high , make sure that the fertility of sperm is there and to make sure that the size of the prostate is maintained .

Now it's gonna get more interesting .

Why would someone be deficient in zinc ?

That's the big question .

OK .

I'm gonna go through the reasons .

Uh They don't consume enough red meat .

Now , think about this , what is the big push now with especially men as they get over the age 50 don't consume red meat .

Red meat is bad .

Well , they never differentiate the quality of red meat .

Ok ?

They lump red meat into one group .

They don't differentiate between processed meats and grass fed organic .

They just lump it into one big concept and tell you to get off red meat and they tell you to lower your cholesterol foods , which happened to be the building block of testosterone .

And then what do they tell you to eat , eat plant based ?

Make sure you're eating enough whole grains , which is loaded with phytic acid pro the biggest thing that blocks your ability to absorb zinc .

In fact , 2 billion people on this planet are deficient in zinc , probably because they're consuming too much cereal and too many grains .

Ok ?

Now , the other interesting thing about aging is that when you age , you lose the concentration of stomach acids and we need stomach acid to be able to absorb this zinc .

If you have low stomach acids , you're not gonna absorb zinc .

Not to mention if you're taking an ant acid , you're gonna be deficient in zinc .

If you're taking a diuretic , that medication will deplete you of zinc .

If you're taking statins , you'll have significant zinc deficiencies .

Alcohol is another common thing that will cause a zinc deficiency .

Consuming a lot of sugar will cause a zinc deficiency , eating frequent meals , like in snacking , lit at night while you're watching the TV creates insulin resistance , which can also deplete zinc .

And so I'm trying to prove a point here .

If you're not consuming enough zinc , that's gonna affect your libido .

Your testosterone , sperm count the size of your prostate and eventually your urine flow .

One of the best sources of zinc is shellfish as in oysters .

But the second best source is red meat .

But I'm gonna tell you right now , taking zinc is not gonna guarantee any type of cure for enlarged prostate , lower testosterone , reducing your risk of prostate cancer or anything related to any medical condition .

Because there are a lot of other factors involved , your diet , how much alcohol you drink , how much stress you go through and uh a lot of other factors related to your medications , et cetera , et cetera .

All right .

So now that you know , a little bit more about the relationship between zinc and your prostate .

I wanted you to watch this next video on zinc , which is quite interesting .

Check it out .
