Protecting the Prostate

Enlarged prostate, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH), affects 50 percent of men over age 50, and 96 percent of men over age 80. BPH is characterized by frequent unination, getting up at night to urinate, slow urine flow, difficulty starting or stopping urination, and a sense that the bladder has not been completely emptied.

Although BPH symptoms are common, they are not an inevitable part of aging. Protecting the Prostate tells you how diet, exercise, lifestyle, supplements, and herbal extracts, such as Pygeum africanum and stinging nettle, can promote a healthier prostate.
