How do you avoid prostate disease?
If by prostate disease you mean an enlarged prostate, or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), you should know that in the US, 2 out of 3 men over 50 have some form of this condition, and good medical authorities say you can't prevent BPH or the problems it may cause. (3 out of 4 men 80 and over have it.) That would suggest to me that BPH is generally a result of aging and has genetic factors associated with it. If that's is actually the case, then there are two alternatives to avoiding BPH. 1) Don't grow old. 2) Be born with good genes. Eating a good diet of vegetables, whole grains, no red meat, flax oil, fish oil, olive oil, nuts, berries, fresh fruit, and limiting your protein intake before you go to bed are ways to be generally healthier all over. This general health may extend to your prostate as well and may help postpone BPH... but not indefinitely. Good diet or not, if you don't have the good genes, the statistics are against you.
