Caffeine and stimulants can cause prostate problems

Benign Prostate Enlargement (BPE) is a condition where the prostate gland located under the pelvis and surrounding a duct through which men urinate can become inflated and cause discomfort. This can lead to poor bladder control and Erectile Dysfunction (ED).

This can be caused by high intake of caffeine like coffee or soda. Cold and allergy medicine which contains anti histamine (ephedrine) can also cause this. They both causes your prostate to enlarge.

Try reducing intake of the above and see if you prostate problem is reduced. I also found that illegal stimulants like Ecstasy (MDMA), Amphetamine, Meth Amphetamine (Syabu) also causes ED, probably through some effect on the prostate as well as the central nervous system.

I now try to eliminate or reduce the intake of the above to have a healthy sex life as well as a healthy heart.

Update

Had a good run in February where I got my work ethics and confidence back. However there were a few distraction where I lost my focus. Now I am trying to get back again.

I am learning now that whatever I focus on, that is who I am! I am starting to believe that I am not "who I am". I am "what I do and what I focus on". If I want to be a good father, I have to focus on it and just do things that makes me a good father. I know it sounds so simple, but this is all it is. Just do things, one by one... Over time, I AM a good father!! Simple yeah?

Another important lesson is "If I cannot change the world, I can change the world I look at it". This is so important. Not everyone will think the way I think. Not everything will happen the way I want it to happen. I can do my best to make things better but if I cannot, I must accept it and try to make the best of it. When things dont go your way and you have tried your best, the best thing to do is to "spin" it so that it gives the best result. A good friend of mine taught me that I should be most grateful for the people who causes me the most pain or grief. Why? Because they are the ones that can teach you most about yourself and about life. You learn most how you should react and learn from life from difficult situation and people.

Getting Better

Things are starting to turn around. I am able to work 12 hours days again. Something just clicked and I can focus and work through problems. In Jan & Feb, I revived an old site, finished a new project and starting another.

I am back to my old self again!!

You are what you think

The last 3-4 weeks, I have been exposed to lies, treachery, sadness, heartache on an extreme level. I have gone "crazy" and reacted badly in ways I never imagined I would stoop to. This is one of the most valuable lessons I have in my life to date.

I got crazy because I followed my basic instinct and just reacted and constantly ask stupid why questions. E.g., why are they doing this? why is this happening to me? why can't they see this is wrong?....

After all that, I have come to the conclusion that I cannot control or understand why people do things. I now choose to accept that people do things for reasons beyond my understanding. There is no right or wrong because I'm not in their shoes. I can only accept what they do as their right (even if what they did is hateful to me). I can only choose how I think about it. I now refuse to think in terms of stupid whys. I now choose to ask better questions like how can I learn from the situation. What good can I make out of it? How can I be a better man and choose a better path and maybe lead others out of it?

By doing this, I can direct my emotions to a better place. I now believe we can choose to hate or love, be angry or be at peace, be hurt by others or understand them, etc. It is up to me. Everything starts and end with me.

Our Subconcious Mind

Our mind is very powerful. It has an impact on us much more than we realise. It can easily affect the way we feel and even our health. A good example is the placebo effect. This is when we are given any kind of medication, if we believe in it or the doctor, it will actually help us recover even if the medication or drug is just a sugar pill. This placebo effect is so noticeable, that no drug trials are done without some sort of control subjects to cater for the placebo effect. Quite often during drug trials, the placebo drugs get better results than the actual drug tested!

Anyway I am starting to tap into my subconcious mind after reading some motivational books. It basically says, you are what you think. I believe that if you become more aware and interactive with your subconcious mind, there is a lot to be gained from it. For example, now when I am struggling with a decision, I will think about it before sleeping. Then when I wake up, somehow the answer will come to me in various form of thougts. Sometimes it may be a memory related to it, or a few possible solutions... Sometimes it even comes in different way like, I will feel like doing something else and when I do it, it has an impact on the the earlier question.

Just have faith and let it come to you... There is always an answer to all our questions.
