Men’s Health: Natural Health Approaches for Better Prostate Health (BPH)

Are you taking enough responsibility for your health in our stressful world? Only you can make the effort to learn about how to proactively optimize your health and overcome any future health complications. This post’s main focus is on the benefits of using astragalus and soybean for the benefit of prostate and hormonal health. But first, I will elaborate on the medical studies that have been done related to these natural remedies. I will equip you with the knowledge to understand you can prevent or combat certain conditions.

There are medications and treatments prescribed by your physician and then there are naturopathic remedies that are not often in the limelight as much as the former. However, medical research is making strides to discover the benefits of complementary health treatments that have been used traditionally by our ancestors before the dawn of modern science. This means science can tap into the remedial effects of herbs, natural ingredients and the like on certain health conditions.  If you want to implement natural remedies that have been scientifically proven effective by research, then keep reading further. Let’s say you want to maintain a healthy prostate. In that case, taking clinically tested natural supplements might be worth looking into.

Do you or someone you know consume products containing soybeans? Consuming soybeans (Glycine max) is a great way to maintain one’s health. To elaborate, soybeans could be beneficial for prostate health, hormonal health and fighting cancer and osteoporosis, not to mention they contain vital nutrients (i.e. proteins, healthy fats, and carbohydrates). As a matter of fact,  a component of soybeans, isoflavones, is being researched intensively. The motives behind this trend are soy foods’ potential connections in reducing heart disease, osteoporosis and prostate and ovarian cancers. On the other hand, some argue soy food consumption is linked to unbeneficial effects based on studies  done on animals. In this and future posts, I would like to address the relationship between soy and the risk for chronic diseases, give my readers healthy recommendations for optimal health, and discuss potential downsides to certain treatments. Unless you are allergic to soy, the verdict seems to be that soy should be a staple in maintaining overall good health.

Did you know that the root of the astragalus plant (Astragalus membranaceus) is good for fatigue and strengthening immune health? This plant has been traditionally used for its aforementioned properties around the globe.  Knowing this, astragalus could be a great help for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Research has shown that astragalus can help improve prostate health, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), urinary issues, male pattern baldness (androgenic alopecia), acne, hormone balance, aid polycystic syndrome, aid those with diabetes, prevent osteoporosis and, of course, improve Quality of Life.

When put together, astragalus and soybean become an incredible tag team with healing properties. I want to tell you more about the synergy behind these two ingredients, but you do not have to simply take my word for it, because the claims about these ingredients are backed by  in-depth medical research. I would like to stress that these two immune-enhancing ingredients can offer a solution to health concerns related to prostate health, a major but often unaddressed topic among men. This blog is intended to provide you with information and other natural, alternative methods to encourage a healthier lifestyle, so I hope you keep on reading!
