The prostate wraps around a small tube beneath the bladder. When the prostate is enlarged, it can disrupt urine flow or even become cancerous. Prostate enlargement is also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia. With the help of the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, testosterone is converted to DHT (dihydrotestosterone), a more potent form of testosterone. Some of the best-selling medications for prostate enlargement work by inhibiting this enzyme. The main medication for an enlarged prostate reduces prostate size by 23%, but it has side effects: Decreased libido Development of breast tissue There is a natural inhibitor of this enzyme, called lycopene, which can reduce the risk of prostate enlargement by 21%. It may also reduce the risk of prostate cancer and decrease inflammation. Lycopene is a carotenoid found in watermelon, carrots, and grapefruit, but tomatoes are the best source. Try growing your own tomatoes. You can also consume canned tomatoes, as the lycopene in tomatoes becomes more bioavailable when heated. Lycopene is a fat-soluble compound, so add olive oil when cooking with tomatoes to help extract it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe: https://goo.gl/u83kTC Facebook: https://goo.gl/Aph1nK Twitter: / sentosegarra Instagram / sento_segarra Tiktok / sentosegarra Podcast on iVoox: https://go.ivoox.com/sq/1476283 Secondary YouTube channel: / sentosegarra ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Legal information.
