Role and Efficacy of Tomato in the Treatment of Chronic Prostatitis

The tomato originated from South America, which belongs to the fruit of solanaceous plants. Solanaceae also includes green pepper, potato, and eggplant. The word tomato means wolf peach in Latin, referring to the previous view that tomatoes are as dangerous as wolves. However, tomatoes are non-toxic. In fact, the benefits of tomato make it a healthy food.

 

Scientific research has proved that lycopene, a magic element rich in tomatoes, can effectively reduce the incidence of some life-threatening diseases and improve overall health. Many health organizations recommend eating fruits and vegetables rich in carotenoids.

 

With the deepening of scientific research, experts found that lycopene in tomato has a very good health care effect on men's health, especially for men's prostate disease, the prevention and auxiliary treatment effect of lycopene is very significant.

 

Lycopene can remove free radicals from the prostate, protect prostate tissue, prevent and alleviate chronic prostatitis, prostatic hyperplasia, and other common diseases of the elderly. "Free radical scavengers have become a new method for the treatment of prostatitis" is mentioned in the authoritative literature The Mechanism of Chronic Nonbacterial Prostatitis and Research Progress of Drug Treatment."

 

In other words, lycopene can significantly improve chronic prostatitis. Therefore, lycopene can also be supplemented to prevent the occurrence of prostate disease. In addition, some studies have shown that eating tomatoes often can improve sperm concentration and vitality.

 

The antioxidant activity of lycopene is very important for plants, according to the report of the information center of the Institute of trace elements of Linus Paulin. But its importance to mankind is not known yet. For some reason, there is no recommended daily intake standard for lycopene. In addition to tomatoes and their products, other common foods rich in lycopene include watermelon, pink grapefruit, canned baked beans, sweet pepper, and vegetable juice cocktails.

 

Side effects

 

 

It is safe to get lycopene from your diet. However, the source of nutritional supplements should not exceed 30 mg per day, and the duration of continuous administration should not exceed 8 weeks. It is safe to consume lycopene from food during pregnancy and lactation, but whether it is suitable for the use of lycopene nutritional supplements has not been finalized. In addition, recent studies have found that lycopene can make prostate cancer worse.

 

Tomato has a very good health care effect on the prostate because the lycopene in tomato can prevent prostate lesions, but it can not play a fundamental role in the treatment of chronic prostatitis.

 

When antibiotics can not play an effective treatment, you can also choose herbal medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill, which contains Houttuynia cordata and other herbs with broad-spectrum antibacterial effect, which can effectively kill bacteria. Although the effect is not as fast as antibiotics, it has no drug resistance, drug dependence and other shortcomings, and can be used until the bacteria are removed.

 

In addition, in the treatment of prostatitis, Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill can also promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, so as to accelerate detoxification, heal the pathological changes of prostate caused by inflammation, so as to improve the immunity of the whole tissue, inhibit the reproduction of bacteria, and cure chronic prostatitis completely.
