🍲 Most men never think about their prostate health until problems begin. sad

But what if a popular dish already sitting on your table could play a small role in supporting prostate wellness?

Pepper soup is loved across Nigeria for its rich flavor and warming spices. Yet few people know that some of its ingredients have been linked to health benefits that go far beyond taste.

The surprising part?

One common ingredient may be more important than the pepper itself.

Could your favorite bowl of pepper soup be helping your prostate, hurting it, or doing neither?

The answer might change the way you look at this traditional meal.

AlphaTaikun:
I appreciate your sharing this breakfast tip. My father is also an octogenarian like your father.

The Military diet tip got by your father from his participation in the famous 1979-1981 Lebanon peacekeeping mission (which the Nigeria Military personnel performed creditably well) is highly impressive.

My quick question for you is: Does your father eat the carrots, tomatoes, onions, pepper, ginger, as diced or slices alone OR can the mixtures be BLENDED into a smoothie in a "Nutribullet?" I have a Nutribullet which I use for making smoothies.

In addition, I read a research a few years back indicating that juiced carrots (and other juiced vegetables) are BETTER absorbed into the body and effectively utilized than eating them raw for CLEARER vision based off of tests carried out using juiced carrots on young American recruits into the United States Air Force who where initially rejected due to bad eyesights. With regular intakes of juiced carrots daily, in a matter of weeks, their visions improved remarkable and they got recruited into the U.S. Military.

This post will also be useful for those interested in herbs for prostate health.

True talk 👍
In this TINUBU - Economy,where Good diet is lacking and becoming a Scarce Commodity!
• Balanced balance ♎- diet is lacking,
• Young people are even afraid to go into Relationships and Marriage,
-Average Nigerians Deserves A Balanced Diet- on Daily Basis,
BUT THE ECONOMY IS CHOKING( Food Prices, Transportation,etc) WHILE ONLY THE FEW RULING PEOPLE ARE SMILING 😁 TO THE BANK,
-The Executives ( Governors,Ministers and Head of Depts,etc,
-The Legislatures - Senators and House of Reps Members,etc)
•But Majority Nigerians are in Stupo and,
• Govt-should Listen 👂 and Urgently Do Something about the ECONOMY.
Just FACTS AND TRUTH 🥵

You are correct but if you check the post, it contains things like tomato. Also, it is cheaper to stay healthy than to end up with benign prostate enlargement.

Prevention is cheaper, and better than cure.
