柏格醫生 Dr Berg 稱檸檬皮可以解決攝護腺腫大(前列腺腫大)

解決攝護腺腫大的自然療法：每天喝一杯檸檬皮飲料 

以下為生成式AI摘要：

這支影片主要討論前列腺良性增生症(BPH)的成因和一種天然飲品來幫助縮小前列腺的體積。BPH是指前列腺增大的情況，會影響尿液流動，導致尿失禁、尿後滴瀝等症狀。許多年長男性都會發展這種疾病，有些人甚至最終會導致前列腺癌。

前列腺位於膀胱下方，而尿道是一條由膀胱通往體外的小管道。正常情況下，前列腺很小，但當它增大時會擠壓尿道，阻礙尿液排出，嚴重時甚至可能壓迫膀胱，減小膀胱容積。

導致前列腺增生的主因是體內雌激素水平升高。雖然雌激素主要是女性賀爾蒙，但男性的雌激素其實來自於睾酮(testosterone)代謝產生。轉化睾酮為雌激素需要一種名為芳香化酶(aromatase)的酶。這種酶不僅由睪丸產生，還會由脂肪細胞製造。

有趣的是，即使睾酮水平隨年齡下降，但雌激素卻會隨年齡上升。過多的雌激素會導致前列腺增大，因為它是一種促進生長的激素。另外，雌激素還會增加催乳素的分泌，而催乳素也有助於前列腺增大。

某些植物化合物雖然也具有雌激素樣活性(稱為植物雌激素)，但其強度遠遠低於人體內源性雌激素，大約只有十萬分之一到十四萬分之一的強度，所以攝取植物雌激素不太可能導致體內雌激素過多。

要減緩前列腺增生，最重要的是抑制芳香化酶的活性，以減少雌激素的生成。芳香化酶活性會隨年齡、體重、胰島素水平、酒精攝取量和全穀類食物的攝取量而增加。減緩芳香化酶活性的自然方法包括:

定期食用像是紅棗菜、西蘭花、甘藍等十字花科蔬菜。

食用油炸的白蘑菇(生食無效)。

喝綠茶。

食用亞麻籽(但效果不如其他食材)。

而最佳的自然療法是攝取檸檬皮。檸檬皮含有許多能有效抑制芳香化酶並為身體帶來其他益處的營養素，其營養價值甚至比果肉高出5倍。

可以將整顆有機檸檬(連同皮)放入調理機，加入一杯水和少許甜菜糖漿或藍莓(亦有益前列腺健康)，攪拌成漿狀飲用。最好在早晨飲用。除了控制體重、降低胰島素及減少酒精和全穀物的攝取外，食用檸檬皮是最有效的自然療法。

檸檬皮還有其他意外益處，包括:

提高acetylcholine水平，可改善阿茲海默症和失智症狀。

改善肝膽道黃疸及黏液阻塞。

抑制糖皮質激素，具抗壓力作用。

對抗灰指甲等真菌感染。

抑制病原體，殺菌力強於某些抗生素。

所以每天喝一次檸檬皮漿不僅有助於縮小前列腺體積，維持泌尿系統健康，對大腦、肝膽、抗壓力和抗感染也有正面助益，是一種簡單又天然的全方位保健飲品。

Green-lipped mussel extract supplementation for joint health and inflammation 綠唇貽貝萃取物對關節健康及關節炎的益處

Green-lipped mussel extract supplementation refers to the use of a dietary supplement made from the extract of the New Zealand green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus). The green-lipped mussel is native to the coastal waters of New Zealand and is known for its unique green edges around the shell, giving it its distinctive name.

This mussel species has gained popularity as a supplement due to its potential health benefits, particularly for joint health and inflammation. The extract contains various bioactive compounds, including omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), chondroitin sulfate, and other nutrients that may have positive effects on joint function and mobility.

Key potential benefits of green-lipped mussel extract supplementation:

1. Joint Health: The omega-3 fatty acids and GAGs present in green-lipped mussel extract are believed to support joint health and reduce inflammation. These compounds may help alleviate symptoms of joint conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

2. Anti-Inflammatory Properties: The extract's unique combination of bioactive compounds may have anti-inflammatory effects, helping to reduce swelling and pain in the joints and other inflammatory conditions.

3. Cartilage Support: Chondroitin sulfate, one of the components of green-lipped mussel extract, is an essential building block of cartilage. It may aid in maintaining and supporting cartilage health, which is crucial for joint function.

4. Improved Mobility: By reducing inflammation and promoting joint health, green-lipped mussel extract supplementation may lead to improved mobility and flexibility, making it beneficial for athletes and people with joint discomfort.

5. Asthma and Respiratory Support: Some studies have suggested that green-lipped mussel extract may have potential benefits for respiratory health, including reducing symptoms of asthma and improving lung function.

It's important to note that while green-lipped mussel extract shows promise in promoting joint health and reducing inflammation, more research is needed to fully understand its mechanisms of action and confirm its effectiveness. As with any supplement, individual responses may vary, and it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplementation, especially if you have existing health conditions or are taking medications.

When choosing a green-lipped mussel extract supplement, look for reputable brands that source their products from sustainable and high-quality mussel farms to ensure the best possible benefits.

(華視)小便姿勢不良 恐加劇攝護腺肥大症

摘自華視2018.3.16

哇，原來小便的姿勢會影響到攝護腺肥大！

站在小便斗前小便，雖然時間很短，如果姿勢錯誤，可能導致攝護腺肥大，西班牙的醫學中心還特別開課，一堂課要價22萬，教男性怎麼尿尿，有上過這堂課的泌尿科醫師，跟大家分享心得，括約肌放鬆，尿液能夠排乾淨，如果尿液滯留，會導致攝護腺發炎腫大。

醫師並提醒，如果尿很急，千萬不要一開始就尿非常用力，用力尿尿會導致尿液回流，造成攝護腺發炎腫大，另外男性上大號坐著小便時，也要保持正確角度，小便時站對姿勢，掌握排乾淨和一開始不用力兩大原則，從年輕做起，就能降低攝護腺發炎肥大的機率。
