Usually, when we talk about healing yourself with food, it unfortunately includes something effective but unimpressive like\u2026 eat your broccoli.<\/p>\nUsually, when we talk about healing yourself with food, it unfortunately includes something effective but unimpressive like\u2026 eat your broccoli.<\/p>\n
But not today.<\/p>\n
Today I\u2019m telling you about a way to shrink your prostate using something so sweet you\u2019re absolutely going to be hooked on it (which is great for your prostate).<\/p>\n
And it\u2019s all backed by a new study in the journal Food Frontiers<\/em>.<\/p>\n The researchers set up two types of experiments: one with mice and one with human prostate cells in a laboratory.<\/p>\n For the mouse study, they gave some mice testosterone to cause prostate enlargement, similar to what happens naturally in aging men.<\/p>\n Then they treated these mice with either nothing (control group), a standard prostate medication called finasteride, or Hovenia dulcis<\/strong> honey.<\/p>\n This is a honey produced by the oriental raisin tree, which has been shown to have very strong biological activity.<\/p>\n For the cell experiment, they exposed human prostate cells to male hormones that trigger enlargement, then treated them with the honey to see what happened.<\/p>\n The findings were quite impressive:<\/em><\/p>\n ●\tThe honey reduced the thickness of prostate tissue, which is important because thicker tissue contributes to urinary problems.<\/p>\n ●\tLevels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) \u2014 a powerful male hormone that drives prostate growth \u2014 were lower in honey-treated mice.<\/p>\n ●\tThe honey decreased signs of inflammation in the prostate, reducing levels of inflammatory molecules called iNOS, COX-2, IL-6, and TNF-alpha.<\/p>\n ●\tIt prevented a process called “epithelial-mesenchymal transition” (EMT), which basically stops prostate cells from changing into a form that contributes to enlargement.<\/p>\n ●\tThe honey increased levels of a good protein that keeps cells in their place (E-cadherin), while decreasing levels of proteins that make cells move around and cause problems (N-cadherin, vimentin, and α-SMA).<\/p>\n ●\tIn the laboratory cell experiments, the honey blocked the same pathways that were affected in the mice.\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n This means that the honey from the oriental raisin tree can address the causes of prostate enlargement by blocking multiple pathways that cause unnecessary growth.<\/p>\n My guess is that any good quality, strong honey will have results in the same direction.<\/p>\n But if you want to completely heal your enlarged prostate enjoying honey is not enough. You need to make a few more easy diet and lifestyle changes.<\/p>\n\n
