Prostate Health Concerns Rise for Men Over 50: The prostate gland, approximately the size of a walnut, often enlarges with age, leading to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which can cause frequent urination and weak urine flow.

Natural Remedies Gaining Attention: Research is increasingly focusing on traditional medicinal plants that may alleviate prostate issues, with several showing promising results.

Stinging Nettle Found Beneficial: Stinging nettle possesses anti-inflammatory properties that may help reduce prostate size. It can be consumed as a supplement or as an infusion.

Saw Palmetto Recognized for Prostate Treatment: Saw palmetto, a small palm tree native to the southeastern United States, has mixed research results but is commonly used to improve urinary symptoms related to BPH.

Pumpkin Seeds Show Potential: Rich in linoleic acid and vitamin E, pumpkin seeds may help reduce prostate inflammation and improve BPH symptoms, with recommended daily consumption as an infusion.

Lycopene from Tomatoes Linked to Prostate Health: Lycopene, a compound found in tomatoes, may slow BPH progression and reduce symptoms, with studies suggesting supplementation for effective doses.

Lifestyle Changes Impact BPH Symptoms: Weight loss, regular exercise, and limiting alcohol and caffeine intake can significantly improve symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
