Starting at age 40, the levels of
by-product prolactin of testosterone of men increases, stimulating the
production of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase that causes the conversion of
testosterone to gihydro-testosterones DHT triggering prostate
enlargement and other problems. Besides aging there are many other
causes of enlarged prostate and some of them might result in prostate
cancer. Beside foods nutrition and herbs, vitamins and minerals
also play an important role in preventing and treating prostate enlarged
as well as prostate cancer.
1. Zinc
Zinc is necessary for
male sexual and prostate health. Zinc inhibits the uptake of
testosterone into prolactin. The prostate gland contains a higher
concentration of zinc than any other organ in the body, therefore zinc
deficiency is the major cause of enlarged prostate as well as an early
indication of prostate cancer.
2. Selenium
Selenium contains
an antioxidant enzyme that helps to enhance immune function, stop early
cancer cells in their development and control cell damage that may lead
to cancer. Foods that contain high levels of selenium are bran,
broccoli, eggs, mushroom, and basil nut.
3. Vitamin C
As we know Vitamin C, a water-soluble vitamin, is commonly known as an antioxidant. Some
studies show that increased levels of vitamin C reduce the risk for
prostate cancer as well as prostate inflammation and enlarged prostate.
4. Vitamin D
Vitamin D is found in foods and is also produced by the body and activated after exposure to ultraviolet light from the sun. Studies
show that activated vitamin D may be broken down in the prostate, where
it may plays an important role in preventing enlarged prostate and
prostate cancer. Vitamin D deficiency may increase the risk of prostate cancer.
5. Vitamin E
Vitamin
E plays an important role in preventing prostate cancer because it
interferes with prostate specific antigen (PSA) and androgen receptor
proteins that play a central role in the development of the disease.
