Last week, Purium Co-founder Dave Sandoval kicked off our Men’s Health Series with a call dedicated to men’s fertility. In part 2, Dave transitions to a men’s health topic that is extremely critical for older men; prostate health. Let’s dive into what we learned!
Reinforcing the 90-Day Way
Before Dave jumped into the main topic of the call, he reminded everyone why Purium is known as the Transformation Company and that is by encouraging the 90-Day Way. This science-backed 90-day commitment to the Purium Lifestyle can transform your lifestyle by getting rid of your bad food habits and replacing them with good ones. As we know, it takes 90 days to leave an old inhibit behind to form a new one.
Prostate Health Conditions
The prostate is a small gland located beneath the bladder and in front of the rectum in the male reproductive system. It surrounds the urethra and is essential for producing seminal fluid that nourishes and protects sperm.
As men age, the prostate naturally enlarges by about 1% per year starting around age 20. This means by the time you are 70, your prostate is increased by 50%. If you intend to live to 120 as Dave intends, and go without treatment, your prostate could completely shut off the flow in that area.
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
BPH, or an enlarged prostate, can cause urinary issues like frequent urination, weak urine stream, incomplete bladder emptying, and nocturia (waking up frequently to urinate). This is because the enlarged prostate presses against the bladder and urethra, obstructing urine flow.
Dave’s daughter is a physical therapist and is a specialist in pelvic floor exercises. He mentioned this because these types of exercises are not just for women as men with enlarged prostates can greatly benefit.
Prostate Cancer
While common, prostate cancer is often slow-growing and confined to the prostate gland initially. However, Dave pointed out that some types can spread quickly, and require aggressive treatment. Symptoms like lower back pain can differentiate prostate cancer from BPH. Early detection and treatment oftentimes lead to successful results.
Risk factors for prostate cancer:
- Family history
- Obesity
- Radiation exposure (from TVs, computers, cell phones without protective covers)
- Age (60% of cases occur after age 65)
The bottom line that Dave emphasized is that prostate cancer is highly treatable and most people will survive.
Purium Answers
Dave, who is 62, just had his prostate checked and his doctor told him that he has the same prostate the doctor sees in 35-year-old men. Dave believes the primary reason is the Purium Lifestyle. Here are some of his recommendations.
This product is a scientifically composed blend of herbs and plant extracts that helps your body in so many ways. Men’s Defense includes saw palmetto berry, nettle, pygeum, red clover, and pumpkin seed. These ingredients have been shown to smother out certain hormones, increase circulation, and eliminate certain phytochemical imbalances.
Chlorella has been proven in studies to support healthy cell replication. This means your cells won’t spatically regenerate which happens in cancerous conditions.
When you are sleeping, your body’s anti-cancer defenses are magnified. That’s why Apothe-Cherry is so important. Remember that your gut is where 80% of your immune defenses are created. This is a big reason why Biome Medic is important.
Remember that alkalizing and detoxifying your liver and your blood is critical to eliminate toxins. This is why Power Shake is important.
Dave also reminded us that the hormones typically found in meat contribute to an enlarged prostate. So if you’re not eating grass-fed organic free range meat, there is a good chance it’s negatively impacting your prostate.
Zinc has been historically valued to help maintain a healthy prostate. Purium has the only plant-based organic zinc with our ZinC-ADE. It provides zinc as well as the essential nutrients that your body can’t manufacture on its own with vitamin C, C beta carotene, vitamin D, and vitamin E.
The nitric oxide that increases the integrity of the cell linings of your red blood cells or the vascular integrity if you want to refer it to that way, which helps a man achieve an erection is dramatically reduced by an enlarged prostate.
Can’t Beet This will increase oxygen to the area, increase nitric oxide to the area, and help push back against the prostate.
Can’t Beet This is also good for your heart, muscles, and everything having to do with your vascular system.
This product will help increase testosterone, increase circulation, and increase male hormones. These are all ways to push back against an enlarged prostate.
Closing Thoughts
As Dave mentioned, an enlarged prostate is inevitable. Dave, who is 42 years into his prostate supposedly increasing by 1% each year has only seen a ⅓ of the expected enlargement. He believes his commitment to the Purium Lifestyle is the reason.
Next week in our final Men’s Health Series Call, Dave will dig into men’s health issues ranging from head to toe.
