In this video, we’re going to talk about one food that may help stop prostate enlargement in its tracks. The prostate gland wraps around a small tube underneath the bladder and is usually the size of a walnut. When a prostate is enlarged, it can interfere with urine flow and can sometimes turn cancerous.
An enlarged prostate is also called benign prostatic hyperplasia. Testosterone is said to cause prostate enlargement. With the help of an enzyme, testosterone is converted into DHT (dihydrotestosterone), a more potent form of testosterone. One of the best-selling drugs for prostate enlargement works by inhibiting this enzyme.
Testosterone and DHT decrease as we age, but the enzyme that makes DHT increases.
The top medication for an enlarged prostate decreases the enlargement of the prostate by 23%, but it also comes with the following potential side effects:
• Decreased libido
• Increased risk of prostate cancer
• Syndrome upon quitting the medicine (suicidal impulses, atrophy of the penis, development of breast tissue)
There is a natural inhibitor of this enzyme, called lycopene, that may decrease the risk of prostate enlargement by 21%. It may also reduce the risk of prostate cancer and decrease inflammation. It even has potent antioxidant effects.
Lycopene is a carotenoid found in watermelon, carrots, and grapefruit, but tomatoes are the best source.
Try growing your own tomatoes or getting them from the farmer’s market. You can also consume canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, or tomato paste because the lycopene in tomatoes becomes more bioavailable when heated. Make sure you choose tomato sauce without sugar!
Lycopene is a fat-soluble compound, so add olive oil when cooking with tomatoes to help extract it. Try adding tomatoes to your diet twice a week to help shrink an enlarged prostate.
Zinc and resveratrol are also helpful enlarged prostate remedies. Milk is one of the worst things for an enlarged prostate!

Tomato Paste👍🥁💃
[00:00] Enlarged prostate is a common condition in men. A healthy prostate is about the size of a walnut.
[00:26] explanation Prostate enlargement is caused by an increase in activity of an enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT, a more powerful hormone.
[01:17] DHT is supposed to decrease as men age, but an enzyme makes more DHT which enlarges the prostate.
[01:44] Medication can reduce prostate enlargement by 23% but has side effects like decreased libido and increased risk of prostate cancer.
[02:11] Lycopene is a natural enzyme inhibitor found in tomatoes that can decrease the risk of prostate enlargement and cancer.
[02:52] The best source of lycopene is tomatoes. You can eat them fresh, canned, or in tomato sauce/paste. Heat increases bioavailability of lycopene.
[03:18] To absorb more lycopene, cook tomatoes with olive oil.
[03:48] Milk is bad for the prostate because it contains growth hormones that can enlarge it.
@@bevjane7245 it was actually Lycopene, done!
Why 😂
Thoughtful! I appreciate your efforts and time.
I watched your video about the positive effects of consuming/ juicing lemon peel for the prostate.
Which is better?
Lycopene is also in Watermelon, carrot and Grape fruit. Btw watermelon boosts testosterone it’s aka Viagra.
That ‘Other then that it’s totally fine’ was hilarious😂😂😂 thank you Doctor Berg as always!
Exactly!
LOVE and appreciate his sarcastic sense of humor!
Do you appreciate he didn’t tell you the name of the drug not to take?
This is wonderful to know, Dr Berg. Love learning from your videos. Thank you ❤😊
I’m glad that you like the information here.
Tomatoes, tomato sauce, or tomato paste. Zinc also helps. Your welcome.
Plus Resveratrol 👏🏻
And olive oil!
But tomatoes aren’t keto 😅
Thank you
No good for arthritis
Thank you so much, Dr Berg 🙏🏻
Not a problem at all.
This cracked me up “But other than is totally fine” 😂😂😂
My husband has an enlarged prostate and difficulty emptying his bladder and leakage throughout the day. I read about pumpkin seeds being helpful so he began taking them. He eats 1/3 cup of raw pumpkin seeds each morning and it’s remarkable at how much it helps him. If he skips a few days he notices a huge difference.
They’re full of zinc! 🎉
Ty 4 sharing!
They are very good for these problems
tell him to put a finger on his prostate to squeese out the last drops.
Got my husband on pumpkin seeds about 9 months ago. He very seldom takes the tablets perscribed by our doctor now.
I like how you keep the videos short and informative.🎉
Sure thing! Have a nice day!
In one study, mice received moringa leaf extract before being administered testosterone daily for 4 weeks to induce BPH. The extract was found to significantly reduce prostate weight ( 6 ). What’s more, the extract also reduced levels of prostate-specific antigen, a protein produced by the prostate gland.
Wow!
Moringa is packed with nutrients. Might be the most nutrient dense food
Moringa is a strong antiparasitic, this condition is caused by Toxoplasma gondii parasites.
Mice!! How much can a mouse prostate weigh that you can get any reliable information on the study?
No way am I giving up my raw milk, butter and cheese that I make. But I also can about 100 jars of salsa each year from my garden so I’m getting lots of tomatoes throughout the year.
I don’t believe you have to give them up,only if you have a prostate problem.
Dr Berg, what about adding tomatos when making grilled cheese oregano bread and then top it up with a bit of olive oil, would it help?
As you’ve said in a previous video and this one for me the solution was getting rid of all dairy, unfortunately I seem to be sensitive to something in dairy, I even react to ghee and whey protein.
And also fasting afterwards to help shrink it faster.
Toxoplasma gondii parasites causes this.
My dad passed away about a week ago because of prostate cancer. Didn’t have any cholesterol issues or diabetes. Please check with your doctor when you are over 50s waking up at night to go to the bathroom often. It was already stage 4 cancer when he found out.😢
Toxoplasma gondii parasites
My condolences on the loss of your father.
So sorry for your loss
God Bless you
I’m so sorry. Sending you healing for your broken heart 💝
I would like to put forth my deepest thanks to dr Berg, you are my hero. Half a year ago, I was a a tired blob of overweight and a screaming absence of energy, I sat through my days and dreamed of doing stuff. Then, luck would have it that I stumbled on one of your videos on intermittent fasting. I watched it and was in awe about the scientific facts behind it. From there I have watched your videos daily and it has turned my life around. The way you present the mechanics behind the scenes and explains how things (foods and different part of the body) work really inspires me to shape my days in a whole other way than I did before. Now I eat real foods, with nutritional value, in a span of hours that let my body switch to survival mode every day. Nowadays, I sleep around 6 hours, go up, cleans the house, do dishes, repair cars, house, walk my dog and alot more. My life has turned around completely and its mainly because of your videos. Thank you sir. <3
Wow, that is wonderful news! Thanks so much for letting me know.
Would you be willing to share your story on my site so others can be helped as well? Thank you!

@@Drberg Offcourse, will do that 🙏
Thank you for this!! Very good information 😍
I liked seeing the doc hold up a jar of home canned tomato sauce. Pure goodness in that jar!!
beta sisosterol too as a 5-alpha hydroxy redutace inhibitor.
The great thing about tomato paste is it’s cheap and the tomatoes are picked much closer to fully ripe, when the lycopene forms. Hot house tomatoes picked green and ripened in an ethylene tractor trailer fall short.
We need a video on prostate enlargement/shrinkage/cancer/lycopene/pumpkin seeds every 10 videos or so ,just keeps all the men hooked to the information probably it is easy to understand then other complex body parts.Thanks again Dr Berg!
Hello, this video might be of help 👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3gnuGfhh88&t=46s
@@Drberg Thank you sir!
This video couldn’t have come at a better time. My dad who is 79 has an enlarged prostate and his doctors think it might be cancer (further tests are being done). He has increased his milk intake lately. I’m going to share this with him.
Thanks for watching, hope this helps.
