Pumpkin seed red watermelon seeds constrained not only delicious as a snack in my spare time. It turns out watermelon seeds are also efficacious as a remedy or prevent the enlargement of the prostate gland. So also saw palmetto fruit.
Central Javanese calls as pumpkin pumpkin. Yellow flesh is pink when fully ripe, tasty. While the seed is white, and slightly larger than the black watermelon seeds, watermelon seeds are also usually treated as a savory taste.
There are two types of pumpkin. Plants and fruit is easy to find in the country. Saw palmetto while far from where we are, namely in the United States in the south, from southern California to Florida.
In the red pumpkin seeds (there is also a pumpkin) that is located usefulness in preventing or overcoming benign prostatic hypertrophy or enlargement (benign prostatic hyperplasia). While the efficacy of saw palmetto fruit stored.
Along with the aging process
Disorders such as benign prostate enlargement (RPM) is just threatening our fathers or grandfathers. Therefore, the prostate gland belongs only to men. Function, it produces prostatic fluid which provides food for sperm substances. Gland approximately the size of a peanut that lies exactly in between the pubic bone and rectum, surrounding the base of the urinary tract or urine (the urethra).
RPM compared with other disorders, such as prostate cancer, it most often occurs. The cause is not certain RPM. Allegedly, closely related to the aging process. Therefore, RPM or perceived usually starts at age 40-45 years. Along with the aging process, there is a change in the hormonal system.
Gradually biological reduction process occurs due to the influence of testosterone 5 alpha-reductase enzyme to dihydrotestosterone hormone. Changes take place gradually caused by the higher levels of dihydrotestosterone. These hormones affect the prostate gland enlargement.
Which is also part of the equation in the case of enlargement of the prostate gland, is the increase in substance prostaglandins in the prostate tissue. Beta-sitosterol inhibits the formation of prostaglandins play a role. Therefore, RPM can also be prevented by beta-sitosterol.
If the enlarged prostate gland, urethral tract or urine in the bladder near the entrance as if choking. Automatic urine spending so disturbed. Therefore, patients will often urinate, especially at night. Sometimes unbearable until wetting everything. When the clamps on the urethra increases, discharge urine even more difficult and so weak urinary stream and then suddenly compressed. Consequently, there is a sense of great pain in the abdomen because of urine retained. This situation can then lead to infection in the urinary bladder.
If the RPM is in such a way, and halted the flow of urine, to remove the catheter should be used kecing water. This will be felt by the patient sick. On a serious stage, the doctor was forced to perform surgery by cutting the prostate gland.
But, clearly prevents a wise step. Therefore, if symptoms arise Benign prostatic hypertrophy, should immediately take the drug. Pumpkin or saw palmetto can be used as an alternative option. Pumpkin seeds can be consumed in the form of watermelon seeds, boiled, or roasted. There is no limit how much should be eaten.
Actually, the use of pumpkin seeds as a remedy already exists RPM from the old days. Dr. W. Devilment from Berlin, Germany, suggested to the patient RPM red pumpkin seeds to eat regularly to inhibit prostate gland enlargement. Instead of pumpkin seeds is said to have property returned power of male sexuality. Now, do not benefit from it, grabbed the oars once two islands are exceeded?
In Europe and America, pumpkin seeds popular as a drug prevention of prostate disorders. Evidently, the guy who used to eat pumpkin seeds on a regular basis do not experience prostate problems during his life.
What's nutrition?
In a pumpkin seed contained a number of substances including a rare type of amino acids (such as m-karboksifenilalanina, pirazoalanina, aminobutirat acid, etilasparagina, and sitrulina) and a number of other amino acids necessary prostate gland (such as Alanine, plant, and glutamic acid).
Pumpkin seeds also contain mineral elements Zn (zinc) and Mg (magnesium), which is very important for reproductive health, including the prostate gland. The other contents of the main fatty acids, namely linoleic acid, oleic acid, linolenic acid and less. Addition of vitamin E (tocopherol) and carotenoids, namely lutein and beta-carotene are also there in the flesh seeds.
While fruit contains a number of saw palmetto fatty acids include lauric acid, linoleic acid, acid linolenic, myristic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid.
However, in this case play a role in most of all it is the hormone content of beta-sitosterol in pumpkin seed and saw palmetto fruit (other than beta-sitostreol, this fruit also contains sterols such as stigmasterol and aukosterol).
Beta-sitosterol hormones that inhibit or suppress saving efficacy of enzyme 5-alpha-reductase. This enzyme reduces the formation of the hormone dihydrotestosterone from testosterone. Thus, enlargement of the prostate gland can be prevented.
Hormone beta-sitosterol in pumpkin seed or fruit of saw palmetto also inhibits the formation of prostaglandins in the prostate tissue. That is, the decreasing levels of prostaglandins will prevent prostate gland enlargement. Or in other words which have had prostate gland enlargement will shrink back. Zn and magnesium in pumpkin seeds is also strongly support the efforts for a healthy prostate gland. The result, benign prostate enlargement can be resolved.
However, please note, pumpkin seed or fruit saw palmetto is not able to overcome the interference caused by prostate cancer prostate gland.
Become expensive drugs
Saw palmetto plant Serenoa repens has a latin name [Bartr.] K. Small., Synonymous with serrulatum Serenoa Hook. F., or Sabal serrulatum Schult. f. They include plants like palms that live and grow in sandy soil. These plants are specific to stem the spread horizontally along the 1.8 to 3 m, and branching. At the end of short stems grow, which appeared on the surface of the soil with leaf-shaped menjari. On the edge of a leaf like saws share, with petiole length 1.5 m. Panicle inflorescence stalk along stems with leaves.
For those among the population there, the fruit was used as a drug used to treat bladder irritation, urethral, and prostate gland. Therefore, the substances contained in them can stimulate mucous membrane channel urine. It is also used as a tonic, bronchitis medicine, facilitator of urine and sedatives.
Medicine for prostate disorders in circulation during the industrial production is mostly derived from the fruit of saw palmetto. The price is quite expensive, be advised of this plant native United States. If the drug was formulated from the pumpkin seeds which are abundant in Indonesia, of course the price will be less expensive than that derived from the fruit of saw palmetto.
Perhaps a medicinal plant experts in this country need to discuss the processing of pumpkin seeds as a remedy for prostate disorders. Before it was done, recommended Dr. W. Devrient from Berlin it may need to follow: eat a pumpkin seed regularly to avoid prostate disorders, hyperplasia of prostate benign, especially for adult men.
