Self-Discipline and a Prostate Diet

It takes self-discipline to make the proper decisions when it comes to eating certain foods that fuel your prostate. Would you put regular or premium unleaded gas in a luxurious sports car?  A high performance sports car requires high octane fuel to work effectively.  Your body is no different.  Your body requires proper sleep, nutrients, water, and exercise to function at optimum levels.  Imagine your prostate gland being similar to a fuel filter.  The red fuel filter light illuminates when contaminants are present in the fuel line.  Frequent urination is the red blinking light staring at you in the face letting you know that your enlarged prostate requires better fuel.  If you suffer from an enlarged prostate then you need to make better decisions when choosing prostate foods.

An effective prostate diet requires a great deal of self-discipline and control.  What if you were told that your prostate problems would diminish if you abstained from eating bread, potatoes, pasta, rice, crackers, chips, cheese, red meat or drinking soda, coffee, beer or liquor for 30 days?  Could you do it?  When you think of self-discipline images of monks meditating all day may come to mind but in reality the art of discipline all boils down to a simple yes or no decision.  For example, as you go through a drive-thru window at a fast food restaurant, the person taking the order may ask, “Do you want to try our Mega Cheese Burger deal for only $3.99?”  At this point you have a decision to make:  Yes, I will take and eat that Mega Cheese Burger and feel like crap all day or No, I will take and eat the Grilled Chicken Salad instead and feel better all day.  It’s your choice but more importantly it’s your decision.

Self-discipline is a daily battle that can be won by making the right decisions.  Decisions are a daily occurrence and your decision-making skills are a reflection of who you are.  If you have ever been told that you look great for your age then maybe you are making the right decisions in terms of your health.  However, if you have been told that you need to lose a little weight then maybe you should consider your decisions that have been made throughout your life which have guided you to your present state.  If you are a middle-aged man and you want your prostate to work like it did when you were younger then you need to start making better decisions with regards to your health.

The secret to self-discipline is having a goal that you truly believe in.  If your goal is to have a healthier prostate then you need to start making better decisions with regards to your diet.  There are virtually thousands of prostate supplements on the market but they have little to know effect on improving prostate health due to the lack of a sustained diet.  An anti-inflammation diet (either a low-glycemic or Zone diet) with a balanced carbohydrate, protein, and fat ratio is a must if you want to make a difference.  You must be able to make decisions like a computer (either 1 = yes or 0 = no) with respect to prostate food choices.  Living with a chronic condition like an enlarged prostate didn’t happen overnight so it’s going to take some time before you start seeing improvements.  However, having the self-discipline along with the determination to achieving your goal will ultimately yield success.  A healthy prostate is possible, how bad do you want it?
