What are the dietary methods for benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Patient's question:

What foods can treat it without taking medicine, afraid of side effects

Doctor's answer:

Prostate hyperplasia is a common condition among elderly men. For prostate hyperplasia, a diet high in rich foods, spicy, sweet, and sugary foods often leads to internal damp-heat, obstructing the flow of qi and blood. Therefore, elderly patients with prostate hyperplasia should pay attention to a light diet, consume more vegetables and fruits, quit smoking and reduce alcohol intake, avoid spicy foods, and maintain regular bowel movements.
