that there's something that you
could be eating every single day that would minimize prostate symptoms that would
also make it so that you're likely not to have an enlarged prostate but besides that this one thing
that you could be eating every single day that may be in your cabinet may not be but it is available
at your local store could not only improve overall health could help you grow back hair could also
be healthy for every single person in your family but besides that it's anti-cancer forming too so
let's get into it so since the end of the 19th century and what we're going to do we're going to
talk about it i'm going to tell you why it's such a powerful thing and i'm going to tell you what
doses you can use and how you can integrate this into your everyday life so ever since the end of
the 19th century this thing has been used to treat urinary tract problems not only that but it's
got anti-depressive properties because it's also rich in tryptophan it can help decrease sugar
cravings and improve diabetic health and help prevent diabetes why because actually a hundred
grams of this serving of this thing can contain over 90 milligrams of magnesium and studies
actually suggest that for every 100 milligrams a day that you increase your magnesium intake
the risk of developing type 2 diabetes decreases by approximately 15 so this is like three-quarter
cup of this right and then it's hair growth stimulating 400 milligrams a day of this
oil every day for 24 weeks actually had 40 percent more hair growth than men in the placebo
group during a study and it's also shown to be great for women too it can help with problems
associated with menopause as well and it's been used in traditional chinese medicine to get rid
of worms it's protective of the of of the liver so medicine and holistic practitioners
have used this to boost detoxification and it's packed with antioxidants and it improves
urinary symptoms so this magic thing it's not magic because it's available everywhere all over
the place also helps decrease the symptoms of overactive bladder yes guess what it is now this
is something that most households in in the united states don't really get much of until october this
is pumpkin seeds and pumpkin seed oil extract now let's kind of get into how something as simple
as pumpkin seeds can do this now pumpkins were were kind of native to north america right so
native americans cultivated pumpkins and the rest of the world came and stole them right and so
now it's become kind of this worldwide phenomena that that pumpkin seed oil extract is so powerful
that most prostate supplements that you see have it in it so let's talk about why so one of
the big things if you go back to a previous video that i talked about the importance of zinc
pumpkin seeds and pumpkin seed oil are rich in zinc but not only are they rich in
zinc but they're also rich in copper too so those of you who are supplementing zinc and not
getting enough copper can actually really throw things off but if you're focusing on pumpkin seeds
a handful or two of pumpkin seeds a day actually you're getting the zinc and the copper and zinc is
essential to the health of your prostate now one thing also keep in mind that we're dealing with
when we're dealing pumpkin seed oils is that that researchers have determined that over a
hundred grams of pumpkin seeds contains almost eight milligrams of zinc and and the
thing that we also keep in mind when we're talking about pumpkin seed oil is that the way
we think it works is that remember that five alpha reductase right five alpha reductase is
that enzyme that can take good old-fashioned amazing testosterone and turn it into a more
potent form of testosterone called dht well dht is amazing and it helps grow muscles but dht
can also cause hair loss but on top of that it can cause the prostate to swell so one of the ways
that science tends to think that pumpkin seeds help with prostate health is because it helps
decrease dht right and then the high content high content of carotenoids so there's so
many antioxidants and essential fatty acids embedded into the pumpkin seed that the pumpkin
seed oil helps bring all this stuff into fruition now i've just i've just scraped the iceberg in
terms of how potent and how powerful pumpkin seed oil can actually be and then what we're going
to do is talk about some ways that you can use and integrate pumpkin seed oil into your daily life
and of course there's always supplements so if you can't get pumpkin seeds and pumpkin seed oils into
your diet you can also supplement with supplements now the other thing to think about is that
when we're talking about pumpkin seed oil we actually studies have actually shown that
it can help decrease the weight of the prostate by inhibiting prostate cell growth right we
talked about that in the last video so make sure you check it out so 10 grams of pumpkin
seed extract a day can has been shown to improve bladder tone and to actually decrease some of the
symptoms so now for instance say you saw the last video and you decided to integrate saw palmetto
into your regimen saw palmetto plus pumpkin seed oil extract has been clinically shown to decrease
urinary symptoms associated with prostate issues up to 30 percent so those two work really well
together and you'll see them combined a lot in a lot of over-the-counter supplements
clinical trials with pumpkin seed extract they've done everything from 500 milligrams to a
thousand milligrams to five grams a day um and and over time they've looked at it at 12 weeks 12
months and so on and so forth and the data seems to be really clear 12 weeks 24 weeks even 12
months and what we see is anywhere between a 30 to a 40 percent decrease in prostate symptoms
compared to placebo so that's huge and the best part is that 96 of the patients in these studies
had negative side effects now let's talk about side effects i think side effects are important
when you're dealing with pumpkin seed oil and you're taking pumpkin seed oil in high doses like
that you can it can lead to some stomach upset a little bit of diarrhea and maybe even
some electrolyte imbalance so of course anything that you try in this realm you should
of course have this conversation with your doctor in advance because you know i'm just here to
kind of give you the facts and the information now what i will do though is also share with you
how many milligrams i tend to put patients on but when it comes to blood thinner if you're
on blood thinner this is not for you now how do you how do you choose you know you're going to
see all these different brands when you google it you want to find a cold pressed oil because when
the oil comes out and it's cold pressed then your what's happening is some of the qualities of the
pumpkin seed oil isn't denatured so you want cold press you want it to be virgin and you want
it to be unprocessed if you can find that then technically speaking that's probably going to be
a better form of the pumpkin seed oil you should also consider combining it with saw palmetto see
maybe you've you've tried saw palmetto and maybe it irritates your bladder a little bit these two
work synergistically to help decrease the symptoms associated with prostate issues now on top of all
of this i always get the question how do i use a doc well one thing i don't want you to do i don't
want you to cook with it it has a very low smoke point so all very very much as soon as you start
heating it you'll start to see smoke coming off that's always a sign that that's not good cooking
oil so i don't want you to cook with pumpkin seed oil but what you can do is use it as a salad
drizzle so instead of using olive oil you can use pumpkin pumpkin seed oil along with a little
vinegar a little salt a little pepper and use it as a garnish on your salad another thing you can
do is you can you can put it on your dish after you've completed it say maybe you've decided to
have pasta you can drizzle the pumpkin seed oil on as type of a garnish another thing that you can
actually do is just eat pumpkin seeds slow roasted pumpkin seeds actually have pumpkin seed oil in it
so that is another way that you can use it if you happen to have my e-function smoothie recipe book
you'll notice that i put a lot of pumpkin seeds in it i say go ahead and finish the smoothie with
pumpkin seeds this is why because pumpkin seeds are so powerful so if you haven't picked up my
e-function smoothie recipe book you will see the link down below but let's talk about dosing so
maybe you don't like the taste of pumpkin seeds you don't want to deal with it you want to get
straight to it well the following doses have been researched and studied scientifically for benign
prostatic hypertrophy or bph they've studied five grams of pumpkin seed oil which is a lot and
then they've studied 160 milligrams of pumpkin seed oil divided three times a day in combination
with saw palmetto and some other ingredients so i usually ask that this pumpkin seed oil if you're
going to go straight with the oil be divided into two to three doses a day so that it doesn't
upset the stomach as much right so here we have once again another product that is available at
your corner store that you can start integrating into your daily lifestyle that you can start
eating more or using it as a drizzle or even supplementing it that can improve the quality of
and health of your prostate all right so like this video share this video and let the world know that
food is the original medicine and follow me from
