Millions of men know how valuable their prostate health is,
in fact, awareness about prostate health has increased thanks to ‘BPH
and your prostate‘ style education campaigns. The prostate is just a small
sized gland located below the bladder but neglecting it could mean a lot of
trouble for men later in life. Drinking or taking lots of fluids is one of the
most effective medical advice by doctors to attain good prostate health. It is
also advised to stay away from caffeinated drinks which is why coffee and prostate health seem not to mix well. Coffee
contains a lot of of caffeine that can irritate the urinary tract thereby
adding more problem.
As soon as a man has an enlarged prostate, the best thing to
do is take lots of fluids to flush out liquid out from the bladder. So when
coffee and prostate health are combined,
they just work against each other. However, it was really proven that caffeine
can cause dehydration. In the past few years, there have been research linking
positive relationship between coffee and prostate health.
There has been latest updates on coffee and prostate health,
Sciencedaily reported in December 2009
that there was data revealing an indirect and inverse correlation between
coffee consumption and the risk of lethal and advanced prostate cancers. In
fact, conclusions from the research was presented to the American Association
for Cancer Research Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research Conference.
Although doctors would still need more research before they start advising
their patients to drink more coffee. The rationale behind this according to a
certain Dr. Wilson at Harvard Medical School asserts that coffee can have an
effect on glucose metabolism, insulin and sex hormone levels. The same
biological factors play an important function in determining prostate
cancer : positively or otherwise. Thus, coffee and prostate health is actually
a healthy mix after all. Moreover, the clinical study also reported that men
who have their daily shot of caffeine are better off with good prostate health
than those who don’t. The probability of coffee lovers to have prostate cancer
is decreased by as much as 60% which is very good news. Nevertheless, there are
additional studies that has to be made to substantiate the claim but having a
cup of coffee seems to be a good idea.
