more fulfilling

It has been one year since the onset of acute prostatitis. After taking tamsulosin, finasteride, and fluoroquinolones for several months, the symptoms improved significantly. Urination frequency has returned to normal, and padyatri no longer feels any discomfort in daily life.

However, about six months after taking the medication, the frequency of urination gradually began to increase, and he also started waking up more often at night to go to the bathroom. Around that time, he thought carefully about whether he should keep taking the medication, and he learned that tomatoes are good for the prostate. He also looked up foods that can be harmful to the prostate. 

After taking a health supplement containing lycopene, an antioxidant in tomatoes that benefits the prostate, together with prescription medication for a week, he noticed a difference in efficacy before and after, and decided to stop the prescription medication. 

He also stopped consuming dairy products, which may be harmful to the prostate, and replaced them with black soybean milk, and ate a lot of cabbage salad, generously topped with tomato ketchup. Although it was a bit disappointing to give up dairy products he had eaten all his life, especially his favorite fermented cheeses like Emmental, it wasn’t tough. He originally didn’t drink alcohol or coffee, didn’t smoke, and didn’t eat meat except for fish, which has likely helped maintain his prostate health. He also reduced his cycling time by a third. 

As a result, he has been able to maintain prostate health for five months without medication.

The healthiest state is when you don’t even notice your body. If you free yourself from greed and attachment and live without suffering, what could be more fulfilling than that?
