Scientists may have found a tasty whole fruit for the prevention and treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate) and prostate cancer with no side effects, according to studies.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia happened mostly in the older age population group is a condition of an enlarged prostate that can cause some serious urinary symptoms, such as blocking the flow of urine out of the bladder.
In many cases, an enlarged prostate can also induce bladder, urinary tract, or kidney problems and prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer is slow growth and medical condition characterized by cell growth disorderly and uncontrollably in the prostate tissue.
Most cases of prostate cancer start in the cell on the surface of the inner lining of the prostate gland
At the advanced stage, the cancerous cell can travel a distance away from the prostate to infect other healthy tissue, through blood and fluid circulation.
The causes of prostate cancer are unknown. Epidemiologically, researchers do know that the increase in age, ethnicity, family history, the genetic preposition of BRCA1 and/or BRCA2, and agent orange exposure is associated with an increased risk of the disease.
Some researchers suggested that poor eating habits and lifestyle are the most common risk factors associated with the onset of benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer. Therefore, by changing to a healthy diet, the risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer may be preventable.
Dr. Devrim E, in the concern of the widespread of prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), over the last few decades said, "garlic and its preparations have been used for the treatment of prostate cancer and relief of BPH symptoms for decades. It is thought that the mechanism(s) through which garlic may show anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory effects".
These results suggested adding garlic to your diet daily can decrease the incidence of both benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer with no side effects.
Strawberry is a genius of Fragaria × ananassa and belongs to the family Rosaceae. They have been grown all over the world with a suitable climate for commercial profits and for health benefits.
Starting at age 40, the levels of the by-product prolactin of testosterone in men increase, stimulating the production of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase that causes the conversion of testosterone to dihydro-testosterones DHT triggering prostate enlargement and other problems. Therefore in order to prevent the symptoms of enlarged prostate is to naturally impend the conversion of testosterone to DHT.
Unfortunately, aging is not the only cause of enlarged prostate. Prostate Cancer is defined as a condition of the abnormal proliferation of cells in the prostate.
The major chemical compounds include anthocyanin and ellagitannins and p-Hydroxybenzoic acid, p-coumaric acid, ellagic acid, cyanidin-3-glucoside, pelargonidin-3-glucoside, kaempferol, quercetin, and myricetin.
With an aim to find the natural compound which processes the potency to inhibit benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a common disease of the prostate that affects men as they age, and a risk factor for developing prostate cancer with no side effects, researchers at the Monash University looked into the anti-BPH activity of lycopene found abundantly in the strawberry by searching the database of medical literature.
Out of many medical studies that were examined, only 8 published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing lycopene to placebo (or other interventions) for the treatment of BPH and prostate cancer met the inclusion criteria selected for this systematic review.
A meta-analysis of two studies indicated a decrease in PSA levels in men diagnosed with prostate cancer, who received lycopene compared to placebo.
In a human prostate epithelial cell line (P21) and two tumor cell lines (P21 tumor cell line 1 and 2) derived from the same patient, and a normal human breast epithelial cell line (B42) and a tumor line derived from it (B42 clone 16), researchers examined the cytotoxic effects of strawberry polyphenols.
By applying the polyphenol-rich extract derived from strawberry or anthocyanin or tannin-rich sub-fractions to the cell lines in doses varying from 50 to 1.5 microg/ml, researchers discovered the strawberry extract inhibited over 50% in cell survival of both the normal and the tumor lines with the doses of approximately 5 microg/ml.
The extracts were found to exert cytotoxicity to peripheral blood human lymphocytes with doses higher levels 20 microg/ml for a similar effect of a 50% reduction in cell survival.
Compound analysis assay suggested that the cytotoxicity retained in the tannin-rich fraction was considerably more toxic to all cells (normal or tumor cell lines or lymphocytes) than the anthocyanin-rich fraction tannin-rich fraction.
Furthermore, In LNCaP and PC-3) tumor cell lines, strawberry extract with concentrations of 50 microg/ml was required for a 50% reduction in cell survival.
The finding suggested that strawberries processed with high amounts of bioactive compounds may be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer without inducing any side effects
