Almonds For Prostate Health: Just a Little Reduces BPH Symptoms

Recent research suggests beta-sitosterol found in almonds and other nuts may benefit benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

In a six-month study of 200 men with BPH, 60 mg per day of a beta-sitosterol improved the symptoms of BPH and increased urine flow.

A follow-up study reported that these improvements in symptoms of BPH were maintained for up to18 months in the 38 participants who continued consuming beta-sitosterol after the study ended.

The best way to get the benefits of almonds for prostate health? You can get 60 mg of beta-sitosterol by enjoying two ounces of almonds.
