Apples contain vitamins and minerals that can benefit prostate health and help treat symptoms of prostatitis. Eating apples daily improves immunity, provides antioxidants, and helps relieve depression. Apple cider vinegar also contains nutrients that reduce inflammation and help remove harmful substances from the body of prostatitis patients. However, apple cider vinegar alone cannot cure prostatitis - it is only a supplementary treatment and medication is still needed to eliminate pathogenic bacteria. Prostatitis patients should see a doctor before using apple cider vinegar due to potential side effects.

1. Does Apple
Cider
Vinegar Help
Prostatitis?
Wuhan Dr.Lee’s TCM Clinic

2. We all know that apples are rich in nutritional
value, and the vitamin C they contain is the
protector of the cardiovascular system. Many
people have heard the phrase “an apple a day
keeps the doctor away.” Therefore, many
health experts have called apples the “king of
fruits.”

3. According to TCM, apples have the effect of
quenching thirst, strengthening the spleen and
stomach, moistening the lungs, and benefiting
the qi. Eating one apple a day is very beneficial
to health. It has been proven that there is a
high level of zinc in the healthy prostate fluid,
and after the prostate is diseased, the amount
of zinc will be significantly reduced. This
indicates that the zinc supplement can have a
certain therapeutic effect on prostatitis.

4. The benefits
of eating
more apples

5. 1. Improve immunity
The vitamin C in apples helps maintain the
concentration of red blood cells, stimulates the
production of antibodies and white blood cells,
enhances disease resistance, and improves the
immunity of patients with chronic prostatitis. It
is important to note that vitamin C is mainly
distributed on the skin of apples, so it is best to
eat with the skin. It is important to note that
you clean apples carefully and use fruit
cleaners or detergents to clean them.

6. 2. Antioxidant and
cancer prevention
Apples contain many polyphenol antioxidant
components and triterpene nutrients, which
can prevent free radicals from causing damage
to cells and reduce the risk of cancer. Patients
with chronic prostatitis eat more apples, which
can be antioxidant, anti-cancer, and prevent
disease deterioration.

7. 3. Improve depression
The special aroma of apples can significantly
eliminate psychological depression and
improve depression. The high content of
vitamin C in apples is one of the essential
elements for the body to make happy
hormones such as dopamine and adrenaline.
Chronic prostatitis patients are prone to mental
abnormalities and emotional anxiety, and
eating more apples can improve their mood.

8. Apple cider vinegar is a full fermentation of
apple juice, which contains a lot of amino acids,
acetic acid, and other nutrients that can
improve the metabolic ability of prostate
patients and help them get rid of inflammatory
substances from their bodies. So prostate
patients drink 1 - 2 cups of apple cider vinegar
daily, which is very helpful in treating
prostatitis.

9. So does that
mean apple
cider vinegar
can cure
prostatitis?

10. It is not. Although apple cider vinegar can help
treat prostatitis and relieve the patient’s
symptoms, its bactericidal and anti-inflammatory
effect is far from enough to clear the pathogens
and make the condition recur. So it can only be
used as a supplementary treatment. If you want
to eliminate the pathogenic bacteria of prostatitis,
you should still actively carry out medication.
When suffering from prostatitis, take dialectical
medicines according to the overall situation to
reduce the symptoms.

11. Worthy of note is that apple cider vinegar is
acidic, has an irritating effect on the stomach, and
should not be cited by people with stomach
problems. Vinegar contains chromium, which can
affect insulin substances, and diabetics should
not take apple cider vinegar either. So prostatitis
patients should not blindly listen to the
prescription. They should go to the hospital for
examination before determining the treatment
plan. Even if there are no gastric disease and
diabetes prostatitis patients, do not drink before
going to the hospital for review so as not to
affect the examination results.

12. The most common fruit in life is the apple, which
has the effect of auxiliary treatment of chronic
prostatitis. But eating apples and drinking apple
cider vinegar will not cure the disease. Patients
should take proper medication and insist on
taking TCM Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill to
help the condition recover soon.
