Prostate Health - Drink Red Wine and Green Tea

Green tea leaves steeping in an uncovered zhon...Image via Wikipedia
Jackpot! Two of my favorite beverages.  During the weekday, I drink a cup or two of green tea at work. Every evening, I try to have a glass or two of red wine with dinner.

I 'm hoping the prostate health benefit is real, as reported by this FASEB Journal article, Polyphenols in red wine and green tea halt prostate cancer growth.  The Journal reports:

"In what could lead to a major advance in the treatment of prostate cancer, scientists now know exactly why polyphenols in red wine and green tea inhibit cancer growth. This new discovery explains how antioxidants in red wine and green tea produce a combined effect to disrupt an important cell signaling pathway necessary for prostate cancer growth. This finding is important because it may lead to the development of drugs that could stop or slow cancer progression, or improve current treatments."

Cialis Treats Enlarged Prostate

Looks like there's another use for this ED (erectile dysfunction) drug, Cialis (also known as tadalifil).

Men, if you have an enlarged prostate, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), Cialis might be able to help you by treating your BPH symptoms, according to this CBS News article, "Impotence Drug Eases Prostate Problems - Study Shows That Popular ED Drug Cialis Lessens Symptoms of Enlarged Prostate."

Not sure if you have BPH? Then read this list of common BPH symptoms . . .
  • Having to urinate frequently and urgently
  • Having to urinate at night
  • A straining sensation while urinating
  • Still feeling the urge to urinate or a full bladder even after going to the bathroom
  • A weak urine stream
