Episode notes
Exercise Cuts Prostate Symptoms
- Do at least 75 minutes/week of jogging or equivalent high-intensity or resistance exercise to reduce LUTS and BPH risk.
- Exercise lowers inflammation and improves pelvic muscle strength, cutting risk of symptoms by about 25%.
Boost Zinc And Lycopene Intake
- Increase zinc and lycopene intake from foods like tomatoes, red peppers, pumpkin seeds, beef, and lamb to help LUTS.
- Consider a zinc supplement if dietary change is impractical, although direct supplement trials are limited.
Simple Habits To Reduce Nighttime Pees
- Try double voiding: urinate, relax 20–30 seconds, then urinate again to reduce residual urine.
- Avoid drinking fluids 2–6 hours before bed to minimize nocturia-driven sleep disruption.
