When it’s time to pamper the man in your life, consider his health. A gadget may come to mind first but it won’t make a man really happy. A strong libido, a well-functioning body and energy to spare sure will. With nourishment on all levels, positive changes result. Healthy eating habits, supplementing appropriately and balancing hormone levels can go a long way towards achieving vitality. As men age, health concerns arise and several of these are related to hormone disruption. These fluctuations can reduce libido, reduce energy and negatively affect muscle size and strength.
Benign Prostate Hypertrophy or Enlarged Prostate
According to WebMD, 50% of men will have benign prostate hypertrophy (BPH) by age 60, and by age 70 this increases to 90%. The causes of BPH are not well known, but one theory is that the swelling is related to changes in hormone production – specifically testosterone. Other changes include certain estrogens and the hormone dihydrotesterone (DHT) increasing. Contributing factors to hormone disturbance include inflammation, nutrient deficiency and liver congestion.
