Key Nutritional Tips for Supporting Prostate Health

✅ Foods That Can Support Prostate Health:

• Tomatoes and Watermelon – Rich in lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that may protect prostate cells.
• Pumpkin Seeds – Packed with zinc, a mineral essential for optimal prostate function.
• Green Leafy Vegetables – High in vitamins C and E, which help reduce inflammation.
• Fatty Fish (like salmon or mackerel) – Provide omega-3 fatty acids, which may reduce chronic inflammation.
• Berries – Contain antioxidants that support urinary tract function.

🚫 Foods and Substances Best Limited or Avoided:

• Red and Processed Meats – Their high intake has been associated with worsening BPH symptoms.
• Dairy Products – Some evidence suggests excessive dairy may increase prostatic risk.
• Caffeine and Alcohol – These can irritate the bladder and intensify urinary discomfort.
• Excessive Salt – May contribute to more pronounced urinary symptoms.

🧘 Lifestyle Habits That Make a Difference:

• Maintain a Healthy Weight – Obesity increases the risk of BPH.
• Stay Hydrated - But avoid excess fluids before bedtime to reduce nocturnal urination.
• Stay Physically Active – Movement supports circulation and hormonal balance.
