Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy

Benign prostatic hypertrophy or prostate enlargement can cause urinary obstruction in men. It can be caused and mitigated by genetic and environmental factors. I recommend the following dietary modifications:

1. Avoid bread, cereals, eggs, poultry

2. Increase  cooked vegetables, soups, beans, peas, lentils, and citrus fruit

3. Consider sipping on ginger/lemon/honey juice regularly*
