A crunchy snack that packs the power of prostate protection

“When I was diagnosed with an enlarged prostate, a friend encouraged me to eat pumpkin seeds regularly. Three months later, I no longer wake up in the middle of the night to urinate.” –Adam Gregory, via e-mail

This old remedy seems to be making a comeback, reports Prevention’s clinical herbal advisor Douglas Schar, DipPhyt, MCPP. “In the early 1900s, pumpkin seed was used to treat enlarged prostate symptoms and other urinary tract complaints,” he says.

More than half of US men over age 50 have problems related to enlarged prostate. Termed benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), it constricts the urethra, causing discomfort and urinary problems. Today in many parts of Europe, young men start eating pumpkin seeds for prostate protection later in life.

Pumpkin seeds contain protective compounds called phytosterols, which may be responsible for shrinking the prostate, says Schar. They also contain chemicals that may prevent some transformation of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). High levels of DHT are associated with enlarged prostate.

To help prevent BPH, Schar suggests eating a handful (about 1 ounce) of shelled pumpkin seeds three times a week. Pumpkin seeds are sold in health food stores and grocery stores.

Pumpkin Seed Nog

1/2 cup raw, pumpkin seeds, soaked overnight
1/2 cup pitted medjool dates, soaked in 2 1/2 cups water
pinch of vanilla or 1 vanilla bean (soaked with dates)
pinch of pink himalayan salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon powder
pinch of nutmeg
2 additional cups of water

Directions:
Strain and rinse the pumpkin seeds.
In a blender (I use a Vitamix) add all the ingredients (including the date soak water) and blend well until smooth and frothy.

This Nog is also great as a milk substitute for lattes and anything else you would normally use milk.
