Prostate issues comprise one of the biggest groups of health ailments men face, yet benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the common concerns. BPH affects almost all men as they age and about half of those over the age of 75 have developed some symptoms of BPH.1 BPH is an enlargement of the prostate caused by an overgrowth of cells in the transition zone of the prostate, the area around the urethra. BPH symptoms can adversely impact the quality of life and well-being. As men often struggle to receive the best support and advice, good information and non-harmful treatments are greatly appreciated. Certain lifestyle changes may help alleviate the symptoms such as frequent and painful urination, urinary urgency, straining, and being unable to empty the bladder completely, which can lead to urinary tract infections and bladder stones.2 Walking regularly (as opposed to the jolting action of running or bicycling which can put pressure on the prostate), managing weight, eating plenty of cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, kale, etc.), and drinking plenty of water can all help. Things to be avoided or at least restricted include caffeine, alcohol, red meat and processed meat, dairy, baked goods and processed foods that are high in saturated fats. Avoid taking over-the-counter cold, sinus, and allergy medications as these contain antihistamines or decongestants, which may aggravate the BPH symptoms.3 AIM ReAssure SP has been specially formulated to address prostate health.
