Do you ever wonder if saw palmetto and prostate supplements you hear and read about all over the Internet (and other places in the mass media) really work? Can they really help with BPH (i.
e.
prostate enlargement) and prostatitis? Or are they just the result of great marketing and advertising targeting men who don't want to mess around with painful surgeries or dangerous drugs with side effects? I asked these same questions myself when I had these problems.
I had done a lot of research on saw palmetto and prostate supplements and wanted to figure it out, so I wouldn't waste a bunch of money on just so much "goop" from the health stores and big supplement companies.
And you know what I discovered? These supplements and herbs often do help.
However, I also think that making certain lifestyle and dietary changes can do just as much (if not more) good for you, too.
In fact, in many cases, they can even work BETTER than supplements and pills.
One of my favorite ways is simply drinking a lot more water.
There is a very good chance you don't drink enough water.
Even people who drink a lot of water probably are not drinking enough water.
When you combine the effects of living in a culture that is awash in chemicals, salt (in everything we eat) and the amount of stress the average person goes through, it's almost impossible NOT to be dehydrated.
And this is true of your prostate, too.
If you want to start having a healthier prostate, drink lots of water.
At least half your weight in ounces each day.
When it comes to saw palmetto and prostate supplements, I think many of them are good and worth looking at.
But don't forget to drink more water, too.
It's one of the most important things you can do not just for your prostate, but your overall health, too.
