So in this video we're going to talk about benign prosthetic hyperplasia where the prostate

0:28.4

is enlarging like what's behind this and what foods you need to consume to get this under control.

0:34.4

The problem with this condition is that it's going to obstruct your urine flow and the urine is going to back up in the kidney and that's going to create a toxicity.

0:42.4

You could even back up into the liver and because you're not able to get rid of the urine so it concentrates and there's a lot of problems with that.

0:49.4

Now this condition is really affected by hormones. There's different types of hormones that have different effects.

0:56.4

Certain hormones have an anabolic effect on your body. That means that those hormones have the ability to make things grow.

1:04.4

Alright so now let's go down the list and talk about what hormones are involved.

1:08.4

The first one is insulin. Insulin is an anabolic hormone. It makes things get bigger and you want to make sure you don't have excessive amounts of insulin.

1:18.4

So how would you do that? Healthy ketosis and especially in a minute fasting. Very very very important.

1:27.4

Number two, IGF1. What is that? This hormone insulin like growth factor is similar to insulin but it's also very similar to growth hormone.

1:38.4

Alright so you have human growth hormone in the body that has all these different effects. That's definitely anabolic.

1:43.4

But growth hormone then triggers the liver to make IGF which is another type of growth hormone.

1:51.4

But I don't want to get into too much detail in this video about these hormones. All I want you to know is that this hormone is another hormone that can make things grow in the body.

1:59.4

And to keep this under control you want to make sure you don't consume any dairy and make sure you don't consume excessive amounts of protein.

2:09.4

So you don't want to do a high protein diet. You're going to do a moderate protein diet without dairy if you have a prostate problem.

2:18.4

Number three, testosterone. Now testosterone can also convert to a more powerful form of testosterone which is DHT.

2:29.4

Now the studies on this topic are mixed. Some studies show that testosterone and DHT protects against this condition.

2:38.4

Other studies show that it can actually worsen the condition. So at this point we really don't know exactly if this will increase or decrease it.

2:45.4

But what we do know is this. Testosterone is converted to DHT during a hormone called five alpha reductase.

2:53.4

And some of the most powerful inhibitors of this enzyme help improve in a large prostate.

3:00.4

And that would be sole polometal and stinging needle root. So these are two powerful enzymes that can help less than the amount of DHT produced.

3:11.4

So one point about stinging needle root, if you're going to do this as a remedy, make sure you do it in larger amounts, not in smaller amounts.
