Key takeaways

Supporting your prostate doesn't require a complicated plan. A handful of consistent daily habits, around food, fluids, movement and sleep, can help you feel more comfortable during the day and at night.
Morning
Hydrate early
Drink most of your water in the morning and early afternoon. Staying hydrated is important, and front-loading fluids can mean fewer trips to the bathroom at night. Take your daily supplement with a glass of water.
Prostate-friendly breakfast
Try eggs with spinach and tomatoes, oatmeal with berries and walnuts, or Greek yogurt with seeds.
During the day
Stay active
Walk for at least 30 minutes on most days. Regular activity supports healthy weight, circulation and prostate comfort.
Pelvic floor exercises
Kegel exercises strengthen the muscles that control urination. Tighten the muscles you'd use to stop the flow of urine, hold for a few seconds, relax, and repeat 10 times, a few times a day.
Don't hold it
Empty your bladder regularly and take your time when urinating.
Evening
Cut back on fluids
Limit drinks in the two hours before bed, especially caffeine and alcohol, which can irritate the bladder.
Wind down
Keep a regular sleep schedule and use the bathroom right before bed.
