Even though the etiology of Uterine Fibroids is
not known in most of the cases, hormonal imbalance is considered to be one of
the underlying causes. Hence, diet and certain lifestyle modifications can help
in managing fibroids.
Certain foods that help in easing the symptoms of fibroids:
- Diet rich in fiber, complex carbohydrates, adequate protein and
low fat help in bringing down the severity of fibroids
- Organic vegetables and fruits should be preferred over the foods
grown with pesticides protection since such eatables may cause fluctuation in
hormonal levels
- Whole grains, raw fruits and vegetables contain digestive
enzymes and fiber which are capable of reducing the severe effects of fibrin in
fibroids

| Role of Diet and Nutrition in Uterine Fibroids |
- Anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric, oily fish (like salmon,
mackerel) etc must be included a lot in the diet
- Alcohol intake must be reduced since it may cause improper
functioning of liver thus disturbing hormone breakdown in liver
- Water is capable of flushing out the unwanted toxins from the
body, hence adequate water intake is a must
- Excess weight may also cause hormonal problems and so it is
always better to maintain adequate body weight with proper physical activity
and lifestyle.
So ladies, take care of your diet and
nutrition. Stay healthy, stay happy!
