The 6 Pillars of Prostate Health

The 6 Pillars of Prostate Health are a total plan for wellness and living a life of maximum prostate health and prevention. The foundations of the 6 Pillars are based on over 200 international studies over 15 years.

The 6 Pillars bring together a plan not just for prostate health, but a plan for total health and wellness based on nutrition, weight control, lifestyle, natural treatments, hormone management and a healthy sex life.

   
The Prostate Diet: Cancer experts estimate that our food choices account for up to 90 percent of cancers of the prostate, breast, pancreas, and colon.  Making changes to your diet can significantly lower your risk of getting prostate disease.  In The Prostate Diet you will find meal plans, recipes, supplements and the 10 Foundations of The Prostate Diet; a total diet, supplement and eating plan for inflammation management, cancer prevention and prostate health.  In order to make informed nutrition decisions you also need to know what foods and additives to avoid and what supplements can actually contribute to prostate disease.

Exercise and Weight Control: Both exercise and weight loss can have a significant impact on prostate health.  Men who have prostate cancer have more than double the risk of dying of the disease if they are obese than if they were of normal weight.  Some specific exercises are also great for prostate disorders and reduce your risk of prostate cancer, prostatitis and BPH while others such as Kegel exercises can also aid in sexual health and stamina.

Lifestyle: Smoking, sleep patterns, some medications and alcohol all can affect your prostate.  

Natural Management: Natural prevention and treatment approaches for prostate health include acupuncture, biofeedback, homeopathy, hormone restoration, massage, reflexology and stress management techniques. 

Hormone Balance: Hormone management and hormone balancing play a major role in prostate health.  According to the World Health Organization “diet might influence prostate cancer risk by affecting hormone levels.” Learn all about the major male hormone players and what you can do to keep them in balance; and keep you free of prostate disease.

Sex and ED (Impotence): Sex is generally healthy for your prostate but can you have too much of a good thing?
