OverviewFibroid Diet Fibroids, also known as uterine leiomyomas, are non-cancerous growths that develop in or on the walls of the uterus. They are quite common, with nearly 70% of women developing them at some point in their lives, typically between the ages of 30 and 50. While fibroids are usually harmless, they can cause various symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure on the bladder or bowel. In severe cases, they can even affect fertility and lead to complications during pregnancy. While the exact cause of fibroids is unknown, studies have shown that certain dietary and lifestyle factors can contribute to their growth and development. This has led many women to turn to a fibroid diet as a natural way to manage their symptoms, shrink the size of their fibroids, and reduce the chances of developing new ones. In this article, we will explore the basics of a fibroid diet and how it can benefit those with fibroids. What is a Fibroid Diet? A fibroid diet is a dietary approach that focuses on foods that are believed to help manage fibroids. The key principles of a fibroid diet include increasing the intake of anti-inflammatory foods, foods rich in vitamins and minerals, and avoiding foods that can aggravate fibroid symptoms. Anti-Inflammatory Foods Inflammation is believed to be a contributing factor in the growth and development of fibroids. Studies have shown that fibroids have higher levels of inflammation markers compared to healthy uterine tissue. Therefore, following an anti-inflammatory diet can potentially help reduce inflammation and the size of fibroids. Anti-inflammatory foods include whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats. These foods are naturally low in processed sugars, saturated fats, and artificial additives, which are known to increase inflammation in the body. Foods Rich in Vitamins and Minerals Certain vitamins and minerals have been linked to a reduced risk of developing fibroids and managing their symptoms. These include vitamin D, vitamin C, and iron.
