Time for an oil change?Trans fats (in manufactured foods, takeaways etc.) trigger inflammation and insulin resistance which
can affect body tissues including the prostate. Look on food labels and avoid foods that contain
hydrogenated or partially-hydrogenated vegetable oil.
Instead, boost your levels of omega-3
anti-inflammatory fats
![Page 13: Men’s health matters !](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816725550346895ddbb479/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Get into a healthy weightIncreased body fat levels are
associated with enlarged prostate volume. So, get rid of the spare kilos that may be clinging to your middle
which is associated with the pro-inflammatory condition, insulin
resistance.

Get moving!Regular exercise, boosts mind and body health
including prostate health. A meta-analysis found
moderate to vigorous physical activity cuts BPH risk by up to 25 per cent:
protective effects increase with higher activity levels.

Pick Palmetto Plus™?Palmetto Plus contains saw palmetto, lycopene
and isoflavones to support male physiology
and maintain overall good health
![Page 16: Men’s health matters !](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816725550346895ddbb479/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Saw palmettoAppears to inhibit the production of
an enzyme that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone
(DHT). DHT is produced in the prostate and
other organs. DHT accumulation in the prostate
causes continued growth.
![Page 17: Men’s health matters !](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816725550346895ddbb479/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Prostate conditions and hair loss?The hormone dihydrotestosterone
triggers hair loss and prostate growth. Reducing DHT levels has
been used to treat hair loss in men. More clinical trials are needed to
prove a definitive link.

LycopeneLycopene, the pigment that
gives tomatoes their red colour, is the most abundant carotenoid in the prostate. It helps to maintain the cell membrane and protect DNA
from oxidation.
