May is not only Better Sleep Month, it is also Asian Pacific American Heritage Month which celebrates people of Asian and Pacific Islander descent. We want to commend the Asian male population for their low BPH incidence rate! BPH or benign prostatic hyperplasia, is a common condition in men around the world where the prostate gland grows in size and may interfere with urinary and sexual function (frequent urination, poor urinary flow, difficulty starting and stopping urination, dribble, sensation of remaining urine after voiding, urges, incontinence and sexual dysfunction). Why do Asian men have a lower incidence rate of BPH? It could be due to the higher presence of soy in their diet and overall healthier lifestyle. If we can take cues for the betterment of physical and nutrition health from Asian men, then men all over the world including the U.S., which had about 14 million BPH patients in 2017 according to the National Institute of Health, can see less men struggling with BPH and living a better quality of life.
The hard work and achievements of Asian researchers, doctors, health advocates, traditional medicine specialists, and other valuable members of the community are appreciated and acknowledged this month. Let's show our support for the Asian community by introducing more diversity in the health space and considering why natural treatment options based on herbs and plants are well received in Asia. Let's encourage more studies and more efforts to provide the best quality ingredients for men's treatments of conditions like BPH. Let's raise the voices of Asians and give them a platform of inclusivity and positivity. Thank you for continuing to rise in your community for a better world!
