Prostateitis Patients Should Drink More Apple Juice
Prostateitis Patients Should Drink More Apple Juice
Prostatic fluid contains proteins, various enzymes, and many trace elements, with zinc being predominant. Reports indicate that zinc content in prostate tissue far exceeds that in other body tissues. But what exactly does zinc do in prostate tissue?
Foreign research revealed prostatic fluid contains certain antibacterial components. Further study proved this antibacterial substance is a zinc-containing protein, with zinc as its main component. Its antibacterial effect resembles penicillin, hence named "prostatic antibacterial factor." Furthermore, studies found zinc levels significantly decrease in chronic prostatitis and are difficult to restore.
A clinical medical study abroad discovered apple juice has remarkable efficacy for zinc deficiency. This therapy is called the "apple therapy." Compared to conventional zinc supplements, apple juice proves more effective, safer, easier to digest and absorb, and better accepted by patients. Moreover, the efficacy of "apple therapy" correlates positively with juice concentration—higher concentration yields better results. Thus, regular consumption of apples is highly beneficial for chronic prostatitis patients.
