2. Feature article: Foods to shrink fibroids
by Bernadette Hopkins
-------------------------------------------------------------
In the hope of avoiding painful and often ineffective surgery, many
women look at various natural remedies to help them shrink fibroids
and often wonder if there is a special "fibroid diet" which they could
follow. There are in fact various foods to shrink fibroids, but it is
vital to understand that watching what you eat is not the only thing
you will have to do to have an effect on your symptoms and the size of
your fibroids.
As fibroids are thought to be caused by a combination of factors which
have subtly interacted to cause fibroid growth, it follows that
treatment needs to address the various causes rather than simply
treating the symptoms (which is what surgery does). Diet is an
important factor in this treatment, but it is important to understand
that it is only one element and you will have to make other lifestyle
changes and possibly include herbal remedies which are known to help
with fibroids.
The main aim of a fibroid diet is to ensure that all foods which are
known to enhance fibroid growth are eliminated. In addition, you
should be mindful of the number of calories consumed as it is well
known that women with a body mass index of over 30 (which is hardly
obese!) are at a much higher risk of developing fibroids.
Foods To Avoid
* Red meat
* Processed foods
* Foods containing artificial additives
* Excess sugar
* Alcohol
* Caffeine
* Fruits and vegetables which have been sprayed with pesticides
Dietary modification can be a useful tool for women trying to shrink
fibroids, but it is vital to look at other areas which will need
modification in order to be successful. Indeed, as well as foods to
shrink fibroids, there are specific herbs which can be very useful at
detoxing the liver.
