A doctor has revealed an easy-to-make-at-home drink that could help shrink an enlarged prostate.
Considered common in men aged 50 and over, benign prostate enlargement (BPE) is not a cancer and it’s not usually a serious threat to health.
However, it affects how you urinate, making the condition uncomfortable.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Dr Eric Berg said: “The stream of your urine is on the weak side. You might find that you dribble after you urinate.
“And you just might have the sensation that your bladder is not empty.”
Fortunately, the doctor shared there’s one drink that you can consume every day to help you shrink the prostate.
The doctor explained that one of the reasons for prostate enlargement is excess oestrogen.
The hormone can fuel this problem as well as increase the production of another hormone known as prolactin that can also increase the prostate size.
Fortunately, inhibiting the enzyme that turns testosterone to oestrogen which is known as aromatase could be the answer.
Dr Berg said: “What we want to do is inhibit that enzyme naturally. If you can inhibit that enzyme, you’ll have less production of oestrogen and hopefully, you can shrink the prostate.”
This is where the potent drink steps in to help. The doctor explained that blending a whole lemon could help tackle an enlarged prostate.
He said: “Apparently, there are some really interesting things in lemon peel that not only inhibit that enzyme aromatase but will perform all sorts of other benefits for not just the prostate but for the whole body.
“There’s actually five times more nutrition in that peel than the actual juice.”
All you need to do is take a whole lemon and put it in a blender with a glass of water for 30 seconds.
Dr Berg added: “And you can also then add about five to ten drops of liquid stevia to sweeten it, or you can add one-half to one cup of blueberries, which also support the prostate as well.
“You can blend all that together and drink it as a shake either with or without the blueberries. The lemon peel is the most important [part].”
The doctor explained that drinking this everyday will help keep your ratio of normal testosterone levels.
