This acid is powerful enough to harm the inner layer of the stomach, but thanks to the mucus that surrounds the stomach and duodenum this thing does not normally happen.

6 tips to take care of your prostate!
Prostate is a small gland available only in men, situated right underneath of the bladder. It surrounds the urethra just like a collar. Its use is for secreting most of the fluids that are found in the sperm and that help spermatozoids swim easily towards the woman’s uterus.
As any organ in the body, the prostate can suffer some ‘defections’ too. In men aged over 45 the prostate can enlarge mostly due to hormonal variations. At the beginning it does not give any symptoms, but as time goes by urinary problems can occur if the prostate presses the urethra.
This process of prostate enlargement is called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Urinating can become a difficult process and men feel like they need to go to the bathroom quite often, even though they do not urinate a lot. More than 90% of the men aged over 60 have BPH and more than half of them have the symptoms present.
