Prostate Health and Sleep

Sleep is essential to good prostate health. When you sleep properly, your body repair’s itself. The proper amount of sleep is a necessary component to good health also.

Quality sleep for an adult is about 6 to 8 hours per night. Of course, your lifestyle contributes to the amount of sleep you need. If you meditate during the day, live relatively stress free, enjoy your job, love your spouse, family, and friends, are financially secure, and live in a nature friendly environment, then sleep should be better.

If your environment is toxic, then you are more stressed. A toxic environment can include a stressful job, an unhappy marriage, being overweight, watching toxic tv programs, money issues, and drinking lead based water. These are some issues that will affect your prostate. Your body will be trying to survive instead of thriving! Work on living in a healthy environment. That will help your prostate health. 

The foods you eat and what time you eat effects your sleep. Eating light meals of vegetables, fruit, and nuts (nutritious meals) allows your body to replenish itself when you sleep. Eating sugar filled desserts, sweets, instant coffee, lots of red meats means your body is working harder to break down these foods. Avoid sweets and eat more vegetables. You will sleep better and your prostate will thank you!

Quality sleep means you are comfortable (when you sleep) and you sleep deeply. It is referred to as rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. This is quality sleep.

Proper prostate health is a 24 hour job. 30% of the day is sleep. Take care of yourself during the day and sleep will replenish your prostate health.

Let’s get healthy together!
