Men over 65 years old are especially prone to prostate gland health problems such as prostate cancer, enlarged prostate and frequent urination. Even if you've been dealing with prostate problems for a long time, it's completely possible to bring your prostate back into a healthy balance. It will take time and several life-style changes, but having a healthy prostate is well worth the work.
