Prostate Problems? It Might Be Your Metabolism!

BPH is not just a part of aging — While prostate enlargement becomes more common with age, research shows that metabolic dysfunction is also a key driver of disease progression

Inflammation fuels prostate growth — Men with BPH have higher levels of inflammatory lipids that promote tissue remodeling and chronic inflammation

Metabolic dysfunction worsens BPH severity — Research shows that men with both BPH and metabolic syndrome experience faster disease progression and greater symptom severity

Omega-6 fats are a hidden culprit — Excess linoleic acid, the primary omega-6 fat in vegetable oils, fuels chronic inflammation and disrupts hormone balance. Studies suggest that a diet high in omega-6 fats drives prostate enlargement

Targeting metabolic health helps slow or reverse BPH — Optimizing metabolic health by addressing polyunsaturated fat intake, hormonal imbalances and chronic inflammation is a more effective strategy than conventional symptom management
