Tip for the older men on this forum
 

Guys....has anyone else noticed that as you've got into your 50's and beyond that....um....peeing gets a bit harder and slower????

I will be 59 next month and started noticing a couple of years ago that my urine stream was not what it used to be.

Then some months ago my wife and I were in the bedroom and she steps over to the bathroom.....sits down on the toilet and psssssst like crazy!

I'm like...."damn, I wish I could empty my bladder like that"! She looks at me and says "you can't"?? "Not even" I tell her....

So I decide to start taking an over the counter prostate formula called "Super Beta Prostate" 6 months of that and NO improvement whatsoever!

So I get talked (forced) into to making an appointment with a urologist where I am told that like a lot of men my age I have a bit of benign prostate hypertrophy.....I tell the Doc about the prostate formula and the fact that it did nothing.

And my Doctor started laughing and said all I did was enrich the supplement company for 6 months.

He then told me that he could put me on a prescription drug called "flow-max" that would fix it.....or (and he said this would work just as good for vastly less money and with actual health benefits instead of the side effects of taking another drug) start eating one ounce of un-sweetened 100% dark chocolate everyday.

Soooo......for the last 2 months I've eaten 1 ounce of Ghirardelli un-sweetened 100% chocolate everyday........and within 10 days.....my urine stream was normal!!!!!!

Turns out that the flavonoids and polyphenols in pure cocoa shrink your prostate back to normal and also have a protective function on the prostate, heart and cardiovascular system......all of that for about $2.50 per week!

WHOA! Worth the try!

Funny, Lucky, you got 2 women reading your post. But truly, I'm going to ask my hubby is his stream has slowed. If so it's unsweetened chocolate for him. One ounce a day you say.

This post could bring Hope for a lot of men glad it worked for you



Namaste

Thanks for sharing.

Linen...the Doc actually said "dark chocolate of at least 70% cocoa or higher"

Bottom line is, the more sugar, milk and other stuff its got in it...the less concentrated the compounds your wanting are in it....so if you don't mind the bitterness of pure, unsweetened chocolate...and I don't...that's the best.

In the baking Ilse....The Ghirardelli 100% baking chocolate comes in a bar that has 1/2 ounce squares so you can break off the appropriate amount....

I actually started with one 1/2 square with breakfast each morning and that was already working so I upped it to a square in the morning and a square at night with supper making a full ounce for the day.

My urologist recommends it for any male over 50 whether they have a prostate issue or not....because it wards off ever having that issue...its just good for you!

Its really made a difference!

I have a friend that does this 70% or higher chocolate.... for years
But not the other 2 things ...I told him already...doesn't have problems that I know of and he is not shy to tell me medical issues. :wink:
He was doing it in his Keto diet for more fat intake.

I should be concerned about my prostate, I am in my mid seventies and both my father and my brother had prostate operations.

I am not someone who worries.

I drink at least 4 liter of fluid, if not more, per day. Yes sometimes it goes a bit slower and other times faster.
Nothing to worry about.

I'm 82 and my waterworks are virtually out of control. I take two pills per day just to be able to go - if I don't take the pills I can't go. Based on the many bad experiences of friends and acquaintances, which in one case led to a quick death, I have refused the suggestions of experts to operate. So far I can live with it. Fortunately I can again sleep through the night without permanently having to get up, this is mainly because I have limited my water intake to 1 1/2 litres.
For those older men who don't have this problem, well, they can consider themselves lucky - but it takes years to appear as a problem and as far as I have heard there's not much to be done about it.

Always something to be done. I had this issue for years. Losing weight helps, I lost a good 50 lbs over the past year, and now I don't have an issue. Flows like the Old Man River. My muscles down there need fixing, I can't hold it long when it's time! And there are exercises for that. I also began a raw vegan diet a year ago. AND I purchased an acreage this year and now spend 6-9 hours a day playing and working outside, and cutting walking trails. Coincidence that my healthy lifestyle choices pretty much fixed the one issue at least? Not at all, simple really.

Health issues are very often caused by improper, unconscious lifestyle choices. Correct the lifestyle and see the results. That includes mental, emotional and psychic health, very important.

And... All is Love! Knowing and understanding this is the most important thing, in everything we experience in life. :)
