Nutrition

In my nutrition and lifestyle choices, I prioritise avoiding foods known to cause bloating and inflammation.

Certain foods can trigger inflammation in the body, which might worsen fibroids or other conditions. These include:

  • Refined sugars (sweets, sugary drinks)
  • Processed foods (fast food, packaged snacks)
  • Red and processed meats (bacon, sausages)
  • Refined carbohydrates (white bread, pasta)
  • Fried foods (fried chicken, French fries)
  • Excessive alcohol
  • High-sodium foods

Anti-inflammatory Foods:

These can help reduce inflammation and potentially alleviate symptoms associated with fibroids:

  • Leafy greens (spinach, kale)
  • Berries (blueberries, strawberries)
  • Fatty fish (salmon, mackerel)
  • Nuts (almonds, walnuts)
  • Olive oil
  • Turmeric and ginger (anti-inflammatory spices)
  • Nettle tea ( Iron)

Protein:

  • Lean protein sources are ideal for managing fibroid symptoms while promoting overall health. Examples include:
    • Plant-based proteins (lentils, chickpeas, tofu)
    • Fish and seafood
    • Lean poultry (chicken, turkey)
    •  

A diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods and balanced protein can support better health and potentially ease the symptoms of fibroids. 

Uterine Fibroids

Uterine fibroids are benign, or noncancerous, fibrous growths that form in the uterus. They’re very common.

They can grow on the outside of the uterus (called subserosal fibroids), inside the muscle of the uterus (called intramural fibroids), or into the uterine cavity (called submucosal fibroids). 

Managing fibroids through diet can be helpful.
