Apples have always been a healthy food recommended by nutritionists to the public. Recently, a study abroad found another benefit of apples: long-term consumption can treat chronic prostatitis in men.
Chronic prostatitis is a common disease among adult men. Due to poor clinical treatment results, it has been a major problem troubling both patients and doctors. However, doctors have recently discovered in clinical practice that eating more apples can play an effective role in regulation, which can alleviate the symptoms of chronic prostatitis and reduce recurrence. This is mainly because apples contain a very high level of zinc, which is an important anti-disease element in the prostate and can affect the function of anti-inflammatory cells.
In patients with chronic prostatitis, the zinc content in their prostatic fluid is significantly lower than normal, and it is difficult to increase during treatment. Only when the prostate inflammation is cured can the zinc content return to normal. In the past, doctors preferred to let patients take zinc-containing drugs, but this method of treatment is not suitable for long-term use, and the dosage of drugs is not easy to control. Supplementing zinc by eating apples has no side effects and is beneficial for human absorption and utilization, which is better than taking medicine. After being used clinically, it has been welcomed by most patients and has become a famous "apple therapy". For patients with chronic prostatitis, eating 2-3 apples a day can obtain sufficient zinc elements to achieve the purpose of treating prostatitis and preventing recurrence. Drinking apple juice or eating jam can also be helpful.
In addition, other foods high in zinc, such as lean meat, eggs, peanuts, walnut kernels, sesame, pine nuts, sunflower seeds, etc., can also be chosen according to personal taste.
