Prostate Exams and Beta-Sitosterol for Prostate Health


Posted: 11/19/2009
These days millions of men are being diagnosed with prostate cancer or have the fear of being diagnosed with this disease. Some are so worried about it they skip out on regular prostate check ups because they fear that the tests are going to reveal something bad! I know the thought of dealing with any form of cancer is a scary subject but if you don't take precautions now it might end up being too late. The first thing to do is stop the stress and quit worrying over something that hasn't even happened.

What I suggest doing today that will ease your mind and get you in the habit of taking control of your health is to go to your local health food store and see if they have the supplement beta-sitosterol. Beta-sitosterol is one of many phytosterols with chemical structures similar to that of cholesterol. It is widely distributed in the plant kingdom and found in black cumin seeds, pecans, saw palmetto, avocados, wheat germ and rice bran. In Europe it is used to treat the enlargement of the prostate and is currently being tested here in the United States. It is a thousand times more powerful than saw palmetto and much more effective. Not only does it help in the prevention of prostate cancer but it helps increase the normal flow of urine by reducing the size of the prostate. Heck, it even helps in the reduction of bad cholesterol and helps kill cancer cells that would normally cause breast cancer.

I know many men who currently take this supplement on a daily basis. I have even consumed it even know I'm still in my thirties and I have even made sure my father takes it on a consistent basis.  The majority of men over 60 years old have some form over urinary symptoms due to benign prostatic hypertrophy. Since plant sterols, which make up beta-sitosterol, have such a positive impact on the prostate and it's cells more and more men around the globe have begun to use it.

Always make sure to be on the safe side and along with taking this supplement be sure to make an appointment with your doctor to have a prostate exam. Make your doctor check the PSA levels within your prostate. This is the most crucial part of a prostate test. I once had a client I was training and he was suffering from urinary issues and when the doctor ran tests on his prostate they didn't even bother to check his PSA levels. This almost killed him. If they would have checked his PSA they would have found that his prostate was enlarged and that he was in the beginning stages of cancer. Luckily he found a good medical staff and got this issue taken care of. So fellas, do not skip out on doctor visits and make sure your in control and make them check your prostate's PSA levels.
Beta Sitosterol
Aside from everything I have told you be sure to eat a clean diet of natural whole foods low in fat. Get adequate amounts of dark green vegetables and powerful fruits like blueberries, raspberries and oranges. If you need to substitute fruit and veggies with a supplement because your time and money are tight, then be sure to check into a product called Juice Plus. This company carries a veggie capsule and a fruit capsule. The phytonutrients within this product, which help protect against disease, are very powerful and once they get into your system you will feel a difference. If you want to take even more precautions against prostate cancer you can add a good multi-vitamin / mineral along with Lycopene and Pumpkin Seed Extract to your diet. These are also good agents for maximum prostate health. So start today and be strong in your stance against prostate cancer. Stop worrying, you are going to be ok! Just remember to take your beta-sitosterol, don't stress, and live your life. Until next time be safe and stay healthy!
