Natural Recipe for a Healthy Prostate
The prostate is a gland of the male mammalian reproductive system, whose main function is to produce a portion of the seminal fluid that constitutes semen. The prostate also contains some muscles that help expel semen during ejaculation. Additionally, the prostate also secrets a bit of proteic contents, including prostate-specific antigen (PSA), magnesium, enzymes, zinc, etc. Normally, PSA is present in the blood at very low levels, but can be elevated in the presence of prostate cancer or other prostate disorders.
Some studies have suggested a link between a high-fat diet (which frequently include few servings of vegetables) and prostate’s disorders. For example, this study found that following the type of diet normally prescribed for cardiovascular health may also keep the prostate healthy. Regarding this conclusion, our previous post on keeping low cholesterol levels may provide some help. However, I always like to remember that the first step toward treating any health problem must be an evaluation by a qualified specialist. In no way Internet may replace your doctor’s examinations and recommendations.
This post’s motivation comes from an email that Elias Villar sent us yesterday. Thanks Elias, for your kind words, for being one of our readers, and for sharing your experiences! In the email, Elias refers his actions after receiving some recent labs which revealed a higher-than-normal PSA level. Of course, his first step was to look for a medical evaluation and guidance. But additionally, Elias introduced some changes in his diet, and recurred to a natural recipe.
Specifically,
- He removed all ingestion of red meat, and ate four or more servings of vegetables and fruits a day.
- Besides, he prepared a recipe whose ingredients are the following:
- 2 firm, ripe tomatoes (seeded)
- 1 piece of carrot (peeled)
- Juice of 4 oranges
- 1 tablespoon of honey (quality honey produced by honey bees)
Combine all those ingredients in a blender, and blend until well mixed. Yield: 1 serving. Elias drank one serving before breakfast, and one serving after dinner. He followed this scheme for 10 days. Rested 10 days, and resumed the scheme for 10 additional days. Again, rested 10 days, and drank the servings for another 10 days. After that, he repeated his labs, and reported a decrease of the PSA levels.
Clearly, it would be irresponsible to claim that his recipe is a treatment for prostate problems (as Elias’ results and methods have not undergone scientific research), but he wanted to share his recipe with everybody. Additionally, I think that his recipe is natural and healthy, although I cannot support or verify his claims. You should take everything you read on the net with a bit of salt anyway. I insist that we should always follow our doctor’s guidelines.
Finally, thanks again to Elias for sharing his experiences, and for acting in good faith. Thanks! And remember that this blog is always open to the feedback, suggestions and experiences of its readers. Thank you very much!

thanks for the tip. I will prepare it for my husband
btw, I also have my ’secret’ recipes
… perhaps I’ll send some to you at a later time
Removing red meat and increasing veggies makes you healthier!?! Whodathunkit!
Seriously though, thanks for the reminder. I don’t think it’s the recipe in particular (though I’ve heard grape and cherry tomatoes help prevent prostate cancer) but the shift from red meat to veggies that lowered the PSA levels. It’s amazing how much healthier you can feel and be with some exercise and removal of red-meat along with an increase in veggie consumption.
Thanks for your opinion, Adam!
I’ll talk to my friend Elias about the grape and cherry tomatoes variant.
And yes… a veggies-based diet is the best for a healthy body (& mind). Whodathunkit!
The tomatoes in the recipe are very important to a healthy prostate. It is the lycopene in the tomatoes that gives the benefit. Check out my tomato rarebit recipe published in my http://www.healthplansplus.blogspot.com blog.
