Food can promote poor health but it can also promote healing. If you’re dealing with a health issue such as fibroids, it can be the extra motivation you need to start a fibroid healing diet. With that in mind, here are the top 4 foods for shrinking fibroids that should be a part of your diet.
1.Fruits and Vegetables
Fruits and vegetables are very healing not only because of the vitamins and minerals that they contain but also because of their fiber content which not only helps toxins and waste matter to be removed from your body promptly before they can cause damage, but increased fiber consumption can help eliminate excessive estrogen and help with weight control.
2.Processed Meat
Processed meats have been linked to many diseases, and most doctors associated consuming large quantities of processed meat with an unhealthy lifestyle. Processed meat is meat that has been preserved by curing, smoking, drying, or canning, and includes hot dogs, sausages, dried meat, and canned meat.
For women with fibroids, the high-fat content generally found in these meats leads to inflammation, which can worsen symptoms. Processed meats usually also contain chemicals which can be irritating to your system. If consuming meat, it’s best to choose fresh, organic cuts.
3.Kale, Cabbage and Broccoli
In recent years, kale has been dubbed as having super food status. As a cruciferous vegetable, kale is high in indole-3-carbinol, which might help prevent the development of estrogen-driven tumor production, including fibroids.But don’t fret if you haven’t developed a taste for kale.
4.Eat Fibre Rich Foods
Fibre binds to oestrogen by-products in your gut and stops your duodenal cells from reabsorbing them into your bloodstream.
Fibre can also contribute to satiety and promote weight loss if you’re overweight. Epidemiological studies show a clear link between obesity and fibroid risk.
Eat high-fibre foods such as oats, brown rice, legumes (beans, peas and lentils), vegetables, nuts and seeds. And aim to eat at least 30g of fibre per day.
If you currently eat a low fibre diet, increase your fibre intake slowly as drastic increases can lead to stomach discomfort.
