                 Upper gastrointestinal (GI)

The prevalence of upper gastrointestinal (GI) diseases is increasing in subjects aged 65 years and over. Pathophysiological changes in esophageal functions that occur with aging may, at least in part, be responsible for the high prevalence of
1. Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) in old age.
2. The incidence of gastric and duodenal ulcers and their bleeding complications is increasing in old-aged populations worldwide.
3. H. pylori infection in elderly patients with H. pylori-associated peptic ulcer disease and severe chronic gastritis
4. Almost 40% of GU and 25% of DU in the elderly patients are associated with the use of NSAID(1) and/or aspirin(2).(a)
I. Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD)
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), also known as gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), gastric reflux disease, or acid reflux disease, is defined as a chronic condition of liquid stomach acid refluxing back up from the stomach into the esophagus, causing heartburn. According to the study of “Updated guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease.” by DeVault KR, Castell DO; American College of Gastroenterology, GERD is defined as symptoms or mucosal damage produced by the abnormal reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), also known as gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), gastric reflux disease, or acid reflux disease, is defined as a chronic condition of liquid stomach acid refluxing back up from the stomach into the esophagus, causing heartburn. According to the study of “Updated guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease.” by DeVault KR, Castell DO; American College of Gastroenterology, GERD is defined as symptoms or mucosal damage produced by the abnormal reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus.

                                        Symptoms  

1. Heartburn
Heart burn is one of common symptom of Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in adult, as a result of acid reflux cause of burning sensation or pain in the middle of the chest mostly after meal.

2. Regurgitation
In gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), regurgitation is the expulsion of a small amount of digested foods to the mouth from esophagus. frequent or prolonged regurgitation can lead to acid-induced erosion of the teeth, bad breath or damage to the esophagus.

3. Trouble swallowing
It is caused by damage of the muscles and tissues that must flex for swallowing, as a result of prolonged period of acid reflux that has left untreated.

4. NauseaIt is one of uncommon of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), but is is associated to some people with the disease.

5. Pain when swallow
It may be caused by the damage or infection of the esophagus.

6. Asthma
In a study of The association between gastro-oesophageal reflux disease and asthma: a systematic review” by B D Havemann, C A Henderson, H B El-Serag, posted in a international journal of gastroenteroloy and hepatology, researchers found that this systematic review indicates that there is a significant association between GORD and asthma, but a paucity of data on the direction of causality.

Chuan Lian or Huang Lian (Rhizoma Coptidis)

Chuan Lian or Huang Lian is also known as Coptis Rhizome, the bitter and cold herb has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat indigestion, diabetes, inflammation of intestine, diarrhea caused by bacterial infection, high fever, restlessness, insomnia and also used in externally to treat inflammation of the cornea, middle ear infection, external ear infection and eczema, etc. as it clears heat, dries Dampness, disperses Fire, expels toxins, etc. by enhancing the functions of heart, large intestine, liver, and stomach channels

Ingredients
1. Berberine C20H17NO3
2. Colchicine C21H25NO5
3. Coptisine C19H15NO5
4. Worenine C21H15NO4
5. Palmatine C22HC24 H24O5 N.OHO5NOH
6. Jatrorrhizine
7. Magnoflorine
8. Etc.

Health Benefits
1. Anti-Alzheimer and antioxidant activities
In the investigation of the anti-Alzheimer and antioxidant effects of six protoberberine alkaloids (berberine, palmatine, jateorrhizine, epiberberine, coptisine, and groenlandicine) and one aporphine alkaloid (magnoflorine) from Coptidis Rhizoma, found that Coptidis Rhizoma alkaloids have a strong potential of inhibition and prevention of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) mainly through both ChEs and beta-amyloids pathways, and additionally through antioxidant capacities. In particular, groenlandicine may be a promising anti-AD agent due to its potent inhibitory activity of both ChEs and beta-amyloids formation, as well as marked ONOO(-) scavenging and good ROS inhibitory capacities, according to ‘Anti-Alzheimer and antioxidant activities of Coptidis Rhizoma alkaloids” by Jung HA, Min BS, Yokozawa T, Lee JH, Kim YS, Choi JS.(1).

 2. Antineoplastic effect
In the review of the pharmacological studies of huanglian and berberine, with an emphasis on their antineoplastic effects and the promise as novel antineoplastic agents, found that Berberine is an essential anticancer compound in huanglian. In some studies, the use of huanglian was shown to be more effective and beneficial than the use of berberine alone. The presence of other protoberberine-type alkaloids in huanglian might give synergistic effects for the anticancer effects. Berberine also demonstrates effects of antiangiogenesis, anti-invasion and anti-metastasis in some cancer cell lines, however, more investigations are required to unravel the underlying mechanisms involved, according to “Berberine and Coptidis rhizoma as novel antineoplastic agents: a review of traditional use and biomedical investigations” by Tang J, Feng Y, Tsao S, Wang N, Curtain R, Wang Y.(2).

3. Hepatoprotective effect
In the demonstration of Coptidis rhizoma aqueous extract (CRAE) antioxidant effects against CCl(4)-induced acute liver, found that CRAE showed protective effect against CCl(4)-induced chronic liver damage in rats and its potential as an agent in the treatment of chronic liver diseases by protecting hepatocyte from injury, according to “Hepatoprotective effect and its possible mechanism of Coptidis rhizoma aqueous extract on carbon tetrachloride-induced chronic liver hepatotoxicity in rats” byFeng Y, Wang N, Ye X, Li H, Feng Y, Cheung F, Nagamatsu T.(3).

4. Type II diabetes
In the evaluation of the effects of different compatibility proportion of Jiaotai pills on treating type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in rats by injecting streptozotocin from tail vein and feeding with high fat and high caloric diet. Diabetic rats were randomly divided into model group, Jiaotai pill 1 group (Coptidis Rhizoma-cinnamon 2: 1), Jiaotai pill 2 group (Coptidis Rhizoma-cinnamon 4: 1), Jiaotai pill 3 group (Coptidis Rhizoma-cinnamon 10: 1) and metformin group, found that different compatibility proportion of Jiaotai pills are effective on treating type 2 diabetes mellitus in rats. The effect of Jiaotai pill 1 group is better than that of other therapy groups, according to “[Effects of different compatibility proportion of jiaotai pills on treating type 2 diabetes mellitus in rats].[Article in Chinese]” by Wang J, Lu F, Dong H, Gong Y, Xu L, Zou X, Chen G.(4).

5. Neuroprotective effect
In the To examination of whether berberine has survival promoting effect on damaged neuronal cells, found that berberine promotes activity dependent cell survival mediated by NMDA receptor because berberine is known to activate neurons by blocking K(+) current or lowering the threshold of the action potential. Taken together, berberine has neuroprotective effect on damaged neurons and neurodegenerating brains of neonatal animal model induced by MK-801 administration, according to “Effect of Berberine on Cell Survival in the Developing Rat Brain Damaged by MK-801″ by Lee T, Heo H, Kim Kwon Y.(5).

6. Hepatitis C virus
In the investigation of San-Huang-Xie-Xin-Tang (SHXT), a transitional Chinese herbal formula, composed of Rhei rhizoma, Scutellaria radix and Coptidis rhizome, and possesses anti-inflammatory effect, found that SHXT-frC treatment also caused a concentration-dependent decrease in the induction of COX-2 and NF-κB expression caused by either HCV replication or HCV NS5A protein. Collectively, SHXT-frC could be an adjuvant treatment for patients with HCV-induced liver diseases, according to “San-Huang-Xie-Xin-Tang extract suppresses hepatitis C virus replication and virus-induced cyclooxygenase-2 expression”by Lee JC, Tseng CK, Wu SF, Chang FR, Chiu CC, Wu YC.(6).

7. Rheumatoid arthritis
In the evaluation of Berberine, the major constituent of Coptidis Rhizoma, widely used as an antitumor and anti-inflammation agent for its effect on the progression of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), found that berberine exerts antiproliferative effects against RAFLSs, likely through deregulation of numerous cell cycle and apoptosis regulators, thus having potential therapeutic implications in the treatment of RA, according to “Effects of berberine on human rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast-like synoviocytes”byWang XH, Jiang SM, Sun QW.(7).

8. Irritable bowel syndrome
In the examination of the effect of CR extract on neonatal maternal separation (NMS)-induced visceral hyperalgesia in rats and its underlying action mechanisms, found that electromyogram (EMG) signals in response to colonic distension were measured with the NMS rats showing lower pain threshold and increased EMG activity than those of the unseparated (N) rats. CR dose-dependently increased pain threshold response and attenuated EMG activity in the NMS rats. An enzymatic immunoassay study showed that CR treatment significantly reduced the serotonin (5HT) concentration from the distal colon of NMS rats compared to the Veh (control) group, according to “Analgesic effect of Coptis chinensis rhizomes (Coptidis Rhizoma) extract on rat model of irritable bowel syndrome” by Tjong Y, Ip S, Lao L, Fong HH, Sung JJ, Berman B, Che C.(8).

9. Oropharyngeal candidiasis
In the searching for alternativecandidiasis treatment among individuals infected with HIV, as 90% of patients develop oral and/or oropharyngeal candidiasis in various stages of AIDS.
found that traditional Chinese medicinal herbs provide abundant choices for the treatment of refractory candidiasis commonly seen in HIV/AIDS patients. However, there remains a need for further screening of effective extracts and for study of the antifungal mechanisms involved. Importantly, ahead of clinical application, the safety of these compounds must be firmly established, according to “Effect of traditional Chinese medicinal herbs on Candida spp. from patients with HIV/AIDS” by Liu X, Han Y, Peng K, Liu Y, Li J, Liu H.(9).

10. Anti-inflammatory effects
In the study of Huang-Lian-Jie-Du decoction (HLJDD) (Oren-gedoku-to in Japanese) as a famous traditional Chinese recipe is composed of Rhizoma coptidis, Radix scutellariae, Cortex phellodendri and Fructus gardeniae, used to treat inflammation for nearly two thousand years, found that with the help of principal component analysis (PCA) technique, the data obtained revealed that the two fractions and the major group of compounds in HLJDD (iridoids, flavonoids and alkaloids) complement each other with particular emphasis to synergistically exert anti-inflammatory effects, according to “Anti-inflammatory effects of Huang-Lian-Jie-Du decoction, its two fractions and four typical compounds” by Lu J, Wang JS, Kong LY.(10).

11. Coptidis rhizoma and Diabetes
In the study of berberine in the control of blood glucose and lipid and metabolism disorders, indicated that berberine, an isoquinoline alkaloid isolated from some Chinese medicinal herbs such as Coptidis rhizoma found that the mechanisms involve many aspects of the diabetes, including regulating the blood cholesterol and triglyceride, lowering blood glucose, ameliorating the insulin resistant state and influencing the function of the pancreatic beta cell, according to “[Advances of the mechanism study on berberine in the control of blood glucose and lipid as well as metabolism disorders].[Article in Chinese]” by Shen N, Li CN, Huan Y, Shen ZF.(11).

Obesity is a medical condition of excess body fat accumulated overtime, while overweight is a condition of excess body weight relatively to the height. According to the Body Mass Index(BMI), a BMI between 25 to 29.9 is considered over weight, while a BMI of over 30 is an indication of obesity. According to the statistic, 68% of American population are either overweight or obese.

You can calculate your BMI index BMI= weight (kg)/ height (m2)

Skin infection is defined as a condition of infection of skin caused by certain bacteria, including Impetigo (a highly contagious bacterial skin infection), Erysipelas (an acute streptococcus bacterial infection), Cellulitis (a diffuse inflammation, etc. ,fungal skin infections of the skin, hair, and/or nails, parasitic infestations and viral related infections

The association of Obesity on Skin Diseases
1. According to the study of "Skin manifestations of obesity: a comparative study" by Boza JC, Trindade EN, Peruzzo J, Sachett L, Rech L, Cestari TF.(Source from Department of Dermatology, Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre (HCPA), Porto Alegre, Brazil, © 2011 The Authors. Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology © 2011 European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology), posted in PubMed, researchers concluded that Obesity is strongly related to several skinalterations that could be considered as markers of excessive weight. Skin care of obese patients deserves particular attention, not only because of the high prevalence of cutaneous alteration but mainly because many of these disorders are preventable and could be treated, improving patient's quality of life.

2. In the abstract of the study of " The impact of obesity on skin disease and epidermal permeability barrier status" by Guida B, Nino M, Perrino NR, Laccetti R, Trio R, Labella S, Balato N. (Source from Department of Neuroscience, Physiology Nutrition Unit, University Federico II, Naples, Italy. bguida@unina.it, J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol. 2010 Feb;24(2):191-5. Epub 2009 Nov 19), posted in PubMed. researchers found that Specific dermatoses as skin tags, striae distensae and plantar hyperkeratosis, could be considered as a cutaneous stigma of severe obesity. The low permeability of the skin to evaporative water loss is observed in obese subjects compared with normal weight control. Although the physiological mechanisms are still unknown, this finding has not been previously described and we believe that this may constitute a new field in the research onobesity.

3. In a study of "The influence of body mass index on skin susceptibility to sodium lauryl sulphate" by Löffler H, Aramaki JU, Effendy I. (Source from Department of Dermatology, University of Marburg, Germany. Harald.Loeffler@mailer.uni-marburg.de, Skin Res Technol. 2002 Feb;8(1):19-22.), posted in PubMed, researchers indicated that Basal biophysical parameters of theskin are primarily correlated with the BMI. This may be caused by obesity-induced physiological changes, e.g. increased sweat gland activity, high blood pressure and physiological temperature-regulating system. The epidermal barrier function, as evaluated after SLS patch testing is, however, not correlated with a high BMI, indicating a normal skin barrier.

4. In a study of "An overview of dermatological conditions commonly associated with the obese patient" by Hahler B. (Source from St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center, 2213 Cherry Street, Toledo, OH 43608, USA. hahlb@buckeye-access.com, Ostomy Wound Manage. 2006 Jun;52(6):34-6, 38, 40 passim), posted in PubMed, researchers found that with the continuing increase in the incidence of obesity, investigation into the specific care needs of this population is needed. In clinical practice, measures to reduce friction and shear and improve devices to move the obese patient would enhance care provision. Studies of the incidence of dermatological problems and the best treatments for these conditions are warranted.

Treatments of Obesity and Skin Diseases

1. In a study of "[Skin manifestations, treatment and rehabilitation in overweight and obesity].

[Article in Hungarian] by Wenczl E. (Source from Fovárosi Onkormányzat Egyesített Szent István és Szent László Kórház és Rendelointézet Borgyógyászati és Lymphológiai Rehabilitációs Osztály Budapest Nagyvárad tér 1. 1095, Orv Hetil. 2009 Sep 13;150(37):1731-8), researchers found that Draw patients' attention to the preventive importance of skin care. In case of an obese patient the usual dosage of most local and systemic drugs should be modified. It must be kept in mind that obesity directly or indirectly starts unfavorable processes in almost all organ systems. Therefore, only a multidisciplinary care may secure treatment and rehabilitation of obese patients. Dermatological and lymphological care is often part of the rehabilitation.


2. According to the study of "Dermatological complications of obesity" by García Hidalgo L. (Source from Department of Dermatology, Salvador Zubiran National Nutrition Institute, Mexico City, Mexico. lindagh@avantel.net, Am J Clin Dermatol. 2002;3(7):497-506.), posted in PubMed, researchers found that Excess load on the feet can result in morphological changes that require careful diagnosis; insoles may offer some symptom relief while control of obesity is achieved.Obesity-related dermatoses associated with hospitalization, such as pressure ulcers, diminished wound healing, dermatoses secondary to respiratory conditions, and incontinence, must all be carefully managed with an emphasis on prevention where possible. Recognition and control of the dermatological complications ofobesity play an important role in diminishing the morbidity of obesity.

3. In an abstract of the studt of "Obesity and the skin: skin physiology and skinmanifestations of obesity" by Yosipovitch G, DeVore A, Dawn A. (Source from Departments of Dermatology, Regenerative Medicine, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, NC 27157, USA. gyosipov@wfubmc.edu, J Am Acad Dermatol. 2007 Jun;56(6):901-16; quiz 917-20.) posyed in PubMed, researchers indicated that evidence for association with obesity, and management of these various dermatoses and highlight the profound impact of obesity in clinical dermatology. LEARNING OBJECTIVE: After completing this learning activity, participants should be aware of obesity-associated changes in skin physiology,skin manifestations of obesity, and dermatologic diseases aggravated by obesity, and be able to formulate a pathophysiology-based treatment strategy for obesity-associated dermatoses.

                Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is defined as endocrinologic diseases among reproductive-age women caused by undeveloped follicles clumping on the ovaries that interferes with the function of the normal ovaries associated with a high risk for metabolic disorder(1) as resulting of enlarged ovaries(2), leading to hormone imbalance(excessive androgen and anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) )(1)(3)(4)(5), induced Hirsutism(6)(7), reproductive disorder(10(12)), risks of type 2 diabetes(9)(10)(11), metabolic syndrome(10)(12) and early cardiovascular disease(8)(13), acne(10)(14), endometrial cancer(18)(19),weight gain and obesity(15)(16)(17). The syndrome effects over 5% of women population or 1 in 20 women.
Unfortunately, according to studies, women with PCOs after the reproductive age, are associated to continuously increase risk of type II diabetes, with no increasingaltered glucose tolerance(20), CVD and hypertension(21).


 The prevention and management In Herbal Medicine

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is unpreventable in Western medicine. Early diagnosis and treatment may reduce risk of its complications, including infertility, metabolic syndrome, obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, stroke, etc.
Reduce fat intake less than 30% of total calories with a low proportion of saturated fat and high in fiber from predominantly low-glycaemic-index-carbohydrate foods for patients with PCOs(827a). Calorie intake should be distributed between several meals per day with restricted intake of snacks and drinks(828).

                 The stress management herbs

Stress in a natural reaction of human fight or fight response induced by pressure due to such as an environmental condition or a stimulus. Long term stress can cause deleterious and cumulative effects on human body(1104), including emotional or cognitive problems, such as an increased risk of attentional deficit/hyperactivity, anxiety, and language delay(1103), especially for people with chronic illness, including women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOs)(1105).

                                     Schisandra (Wu Wei Zi)

Schisandra also is known as Wu Wei Zi, a twining shrub living its life by climbing on other vegetation, belongings to the family Schisandraceae, native to Asia and North America, The warm, sweet, bitter, sour, acrid, salty herb has been used in tradional Chinese medicine as antioxidant(1218)(1219), anti stress(1220)(1221), anti microbial(1224)(1225)(1226) agent and to improve metabolism(1227)(1228), enhance central nervous system(1229)(1230)(1233), treat hypertension(1231)(1232) and hypotension during exhaustion of circulatory function(1217), coughing(1234)(12135), insomnia(1237), premenstrual syndrome (PMS)(1239), menopausal symptoms(1240), depression(1233), irritability(1233), erectile dysfunction (ED)(1238), lower cholesterol(1241) and regulate blood glucose(1233), improve memory(1222)(1223), etc.

In chronic psychological stress male rat model, schisandra protect against stress induced complications such as carbohydrate metabolism(1227) and neurosis, psychogenic depression, astheno-depressive states, schizophrenia and alcoholism disorders(1233) and improved mental performance(1233).through its reduction of the levels of corticosterone (CORT) and glucose and protect the structure of the adrenal cortex(1227).
In physiological stress, the herbal medicine also exerted its stress-protective effect against a broad spectrum of harmful factors including heat shock, skin burn, cooling, frostbite, immobilisation, swimming under load in an atmosphere with decreased air pressure, aseptic inflammation, irradiation, and heavy metal intoxication(1233).
In oxidative stress induced damage heart(1242) tissues in animal models, schisandrin B (Sch B), a dibenzocyclooctadiene derivative isolated from the fruit of Schisandra chinensis attenuated cardiotoxicity via antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects(1242). In oxidative stress induced liver damage, oral administration of Schisandra Lignans Extract (SLE)(1243)(1244) or triterpenoid(1245) a chemical constituent from Schisandra chinensis significantly reduced liver damage(1243)(1244)(1245) in experimental animal model, through its effects of balance of oxidation and reduction in cells(1243) or upregulating cell cycle progression(1244) and anti tumor antigen(1244), or ameliorating oxidative stress(1245).

The smoothie for prevention and treatment of Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
Yield: 2 servings (about 8 ounces each)
1 1/ 4 cups Blueberry
1/4 cup peanut
1/4 tsp curcumin(optional)
1 cup green tea drink (Make from 4 grams of green tea, a slice of ginger and a cup of hot water lipped for 5 minutes, and let cool to room temperature)

1. Place all ingredients in a blender and puree about 1 minute
2. Blend on high speed about 1 minute or until the mixture is thick and the ice is well crushed.
3. Serve immediately

The finding of a natural source for treatment of Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)  has been running into many obstacles, many ingredients showed initially with promising result in animal studies have not produced same potentials in large sample size and mutli centers human trials.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or Lupus is a chronic, autoimmune disease as a result of the development of autoantibodies attacked  the systems and organs in the body, causing caspase-1, IL-1β and IL-18 production(9).

Green tea has been a precious drink in traditional Chinese culture and used exceptional in socialization for more than 4000 thousand years. Due to its commercial values and health effects, green tea now has been cultivated all over the world in suitable climate. According to Kyushu University, chronic drinking of tea may attenuate the risk of Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)(1)
Major phytochemical constituent isolated from green tea, in National Defense Medical Center study, expressed the prophylactic effects on lupus nephritis in prevented proteinuria, renal function impairment, and severe renal lesions through antioxidant and free radical scavenging and anti pro inflammatory activities(2).
Furthermore, the antioxidant also manifested the cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity is associated with increased oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokines in the kidney, including inhibiting NF-kappaB, the pro inflammatory pathway(3).

Resveratrol is a phytochemical in the class of Stilbenoids, found abundantly in grape, blueberry and peanuts, may also display anti Minimal mesangial glomerulonephritis induced by Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) through its immune-modulated effects(5). According to the joint study led by the Peking Union Medical College and Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, resveratrol exhibited protective effects in pristane-induced lupus mice via anti-inflammation and immune-regulatory properties(4).

Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia. The herb has been used in trditional medicine as anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and to treat flatulence, bloating, and appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc. its chemical constituent curcumin exhibited anti SLE effects through maintaining the balance between T helper 17 (Th17) and regulatory T cells (Treg)(6).
According to the University of Chicago, curcumin increased the expression of IgG deposits in protection against altered the transport of immune complexes leading to an increase in IgG deposits which could induce inflammatory pathways thereby leading to worsening of the disease(7).
Furthermore, oral administration of turmeric supplementation can decrease proteinuria, hematuria, and systolic blood pressure in patients suffering from relapsing or refractory lupus nephritis, the Shiraz University of Medical Sciences suggested(8).

The smoothie of Green Tea, Blueberry, Peanut and Curcumin may hold a key in further studies in production of effective natural ingredients for prevention and treatment of Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) without inducing adverse effects.

People who are at increased risk of any of Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)due to family history, weaken immunity... should drink at least one cup daily. People with Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), should drink no more than 4 servings daily, depending to the digestive toleration.

Starting at age 40, the levels of the by-product prolactin of testosterone of men increases, stimulating the production of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase that causes the conversion of testosterone to gihydro-testosterones DHT triggering prostate enlargement and other problems. In this article, we will discuss activities promoting a healthy prostate.

1. Moderate exercise (like walking)
We know that one half to three-quarters of men older than 75 will have some cancerous changes in their prostate glands. People doing moderate exercise like walking for 2 to 3 hours per week had a 25 percent less risk of developing prostate problems than those who did not. Just 20-30 minutes walking a day would help to increase circulation of blood to the body as a side benefit for better sexual function and prostate health.

2. Sitz baths
It is one of the earliest prostate treatments and the most effective remedies for prostate pain. This special bath brings a great flow of blood to a specific area of the body while the regular hot bath is pleasant and generally increases circulation throughout your body.

3. Yoga
Yoga is really helpful to the prostate. It also helps tone the deep pelvic muscles there by promoting circulation. Yoga promotes flexibility, circulation, and stimulates the liver meridian. In general yoga helps a person to be more aware of his pelvic area in terms of his muscular control.

4. Kegal exercise
Kegal exercise when performed while in virasana, bhekasana or frog pose also promotes good prostate health and overall benefit to the urogenital tract.

5. Spinal and pelvic massage
Spinal and pelvis massage helps to
a) Increase blood supply to the prostate and the pelvic area.
b) Increase lymphatic flow to the prostate and the pelvic area.
c) Reduces inflammatory conditions.

6. Joyful sex life
Sex helps increase movement of the pelvic muscles and the blood circulation to all organs of your body. As fresh blood supply arrives your cells, organs and muscles are saturated with fresh oxygen and hormones, and as the used blood is removed, you also remove waste products and toxins from your body, thus reducing the risk of inflammation of the prostate.
