=======================================================================
At Ben's Natural Health, we get hundreds of questions each year about whether diet plays a role in developing prostate problems?
The short answer, Yes.
Diet is one of the big influencing risk factors in developing prostate issues and experiencing prostate symptoms. A poor diet lacking a high proportion of fruit and vegetables with a wide range of other healthy foods will increase their risk in developing prostate symptoms and possibly, prostate disease.
There is an easy solution if your diet isn't up to scratch, though this is always easier said than done.

Here are the 5 Worst Foods for Prostate Health
1. Non Grass Fed Meat - 0:29
Industrial cattle are fed grain, an unnatural food source for cows, making it necessary to give them antibiotics to prevent them getting sick. Antibiotic residues, as well as bio chemicals and hormones are present within the cow and transferred to that nice juicy steak you’re thinking about.
Prostate enlargement is a result of increased levels of estrogen, and the hormones in red meat further increase hormonal imbalance. Studies show that men consuming large amounts of non-grass fed red meat are 12% more likely to develop prostate cancer.
2. Dairy 1:09
Dairy is a big no. Most dairy products contain bio-chemicals that encourage cancer. To maximise milk production, cows are kept permanently pregnant and as a result have 200 times the normal level of female hormones in their milk. The effect of this on the human body is not a good one. Consuming food with high levels of estrogen increases the production of DHT (an active form of testosterone), which can lead to a number of health issues, including an enlarged prostate.
Try dairy-free alternatives like almond milk or coconut milk instead.
3. Canned Foods - 1:49
It’s quick and easy, but canned food can really damage your prostate health. They contain synthetic estrogens called Bisphenol A (BPA) which can even be found in water bottles. It’s a toxic chemical that has been linked to prostate cancer. The European Union and Canada have already banned it in the making of baby bottles. Tinned tomatoes are especially susceptible to this, with BPA leaching to their acidity.
Sticking with fresh, organic and unprocessed food is the best way to go.
4. Table Salt - 2:28
The problem is that table salt, along with salt in processed foods, is not the same as the natural salt our body needs. Table salt is pure sodium chloride and has no impurities in it. When refined and concentrated to an unnatural degree, it becomes toxic.
20% of men get high blood pressure when they consume salt. If you are over 51, or have high blood pressure, kidney disease, or diabetes, you should check whether you are sensitive to salt.
If you are among the 80% of men who are fine with salt, use pink Himalayan salt which has minerals naturally present and is actually very good for your health.
5. Sugar - 3:13
Many low-fat foods substitute fat for sugar. Our body has a low capacity to store sugar and excess sugar is quickly converted into excess fat, contributing to higher levels of obesity. Furthermore, processed sugar has inflammatory effects which can lead to prostate inflammation and enlargement over time.
