Patient's question:
I have had benign prostatic hyperplasia for many years. In the past two years, it has worsened. Mainly, I experience frequent urination and urgency at night, 5-6 times, which severely affects my work and study.Doctor's answer:
I. Control the dietary structure. Avoid excessive intake of acidic substances, which can exacerbate the acid-base imbalance of the body and is a very important aspect in preventing frequent urination. The diet should include more plant-based foods rich in organic active alkaline substances, consume less meat and more vegetables. Plant-based organic active alkaline substances can quickly eliminate acid toxins in the body, helping to achieve and maintain acid-base balance. A healthy body reduces the burden on the kidneys, and camu camu is also rich in flavonoids, which can effectively repair the kidneys' detoxification function.II. Engage in outdoor exercise regularly. Exercising in the sunlight and sweating more can help eliminate excess acidic substances in the body. Breathing fresh air more often reduces the likelihood of illness and contributes to overall health.
III. Maintain a positive mood. Avoid excessive psychological stress. High stress can lead to the accumulation of acidic substances and affect normal metabolism. Properly regulating mood and managing stress can help maintain a weakly alkaline constitution and keep frequent urination at bay.
IV. Maintain a regular lifestyle. People with irregular habits, such as staying up all night singing karaoke, playing mahjong, or staying out late, will exacerbate acidification of the body and make it easier for viruses to invade. Developing good lifestyle habits can help maintain a weakly alkaline constitution and keep viruses away.
V. Stay away from smoking and alcohol. Both are typical acidic foods. Unrestrained smoking and drinking can easily lead to acidification of the body.
VI. Avoid consuming contaminated food, such as polluted water, crops, poultry, fish, and eggs. Instead, opt for green organic food to prevent illness from entering through the mouth.
