symptom management
Things such as reducing evening fluids (especially 2–3 hours before bed) can help cut down night-time urination while cutting back on caffeine and alcohol, which can irritate the bladder and increase urgency, can also help.
Choosing prostate-friendly fats (like olive oil, nuts, seeds, and oily fish) and reducing excess fried foods has been shown to have benefits while it can be recommended to increase fibre and plant foods, which support hormone balance, inflammation control, and gut health.
It is wise to maintain a healthy weight, as excess belly fat is strongly linked with worse urinary symptoms. Focusing on key nutrients such as zinc, magnesium, and omega-3s are commonly linked to prostate and urinary health while moving daily and getting regular exercise supports circulation, metabolism, and bladder function.
Your symptom management will be particular to you. Working alongside a nutrition and health coach to discover what works and what doesn't and drawing up a plan to follow that is customed specifically to your needs can have many positive benefits.
If you’re dealing with benign prostate hyperplasia, lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) or pelvic floor problems the good news is that small daily habits can make a noticeable difference for many men, especially when it comes to night-time urination, urgency, and weak flow.
