Prostate health is a major concern these days for quite a few men
as it should be. The prostate's importance is generally over looked until in
the latter years of life for most men. It is during this time we begin to
understand the important role the prostate plays in the overall health and well-being
of the body in general and its importance in sexual matters specifically.
In general, the prostate helps to control and regulate the actions
of certain hormones like testosterone. Many aspects about what typically makes
a man a man, like muscle mass or chivalrous aggression, are affected by the
prostate.
Specifically, the prostate helps to control just how much estrogen
and testosterone there will be at any given time in a man's body if it is in
proper working order.
One way to keep the prostate in proper working order is to supplement
with diindolymethane (DIM).
Prostate Health
Inflammation of the prostate is becoming more and more common in
men especially those who are in their mid to late 40’s and beyond. A lifetime
of red meat consumption coupled with stress and other adverse lifestyle habits
will usually take its toll on the prostate. Significant inflammatory issues can
arise and can eventually lead to cancer. As previously mentioned DIM could step
in and help correct some prostate conditions because it is a very powerful
anti-inflammatory. DIM’s ability to reduce inflammation in the prostate specifically
has been demonstrated in scientific testing. In research documented in the
January 2008 Journal of Nutrition DIM
proved effective in reducing the release of pro-inflammatory mediators in
macrophages in addition to reducing the release of nitric acid and other
inflammatory substances.
Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction (ED) has garnered much mainstream attention
for two reasons. First, it has become an unfortunate reality for many men.
Second, because pharmaceutical companies have flooded the airwaves with
commercial after commercial touting little pills that are very expensive and
sales very well. But what if there was a natural and safe way to overcome erectile
dysfunction?
ED could be a sign of
testosterone conversion gone wrong. As men age we tend to convert testosterone
into estrogen more readily. If too much testosterone is converted sexual
dysfunction is sure to follow. Even so, a man with a healthy prostate would not
produce nearly enough estrogen necessary to induce ED. A man with a failing
or poorly functioning prostate will, however. DIM may be the right supplement
needed as it has demonstrated the ability to slow down or bring into correct
balance the conversion of testosterone to estrogen. In short, the more
testosterone a man is able to hang on to the less chance he has of developing or
maintaining ED.
Conclusion
The health of the prostate is important for many reasons but let's
be honest. Erectile dysfunction is a driving force in some men's lives and the pharmaceutical
sales reports are available to prove it. Here is just one way that could
potentially put a man back in the sexual driver’s seat naturally and with
little to no side effects at all.
