Foods To Avoid & Causes Of Fibroids
Now, you know which foods can help to shrink your fibroids, I'll explain some of the causes
of these tumors.
We will also explore what environmental factors may be triggering the growth of your fibroids.
1: GMO Foods Unfortunately lots of the foods we eat today
are grown with pesticides, fungicides, herbicides and chemicals.
These chemicals are sprayed onto crops when they are growing and have been shown to disrupt
hormones in the body, especially in women because they mimic estrogen in the body.
This can cause the growth of fibroids and other tumors.
Switch to organic, none GMO foods instead.
2: Birth Control Pills Birth control pills are one of the main causes
of the growth of uterine fibroids.
These pills introduce estradiol into the body, a type of estrogen which can trigger fibrocystic
breasts, uterine fibroids and PCOS.
You may wish to consider alternative methods of contraception if you have fibroids.
3: Dairy Many dairy products such as milk, cheese and
butter come from cows that are injected with growth hormones.
These growth hormones are then expressed into the food that you eat.
This can interfere with your own hormone balance, and cause fibroids to grow larger.
Cut out dairy if you have fibroids.
4: Soy Foods If you wish to shrink your fibroids, it is
essential that you cut down on estrogenic foods.
Soy milk, soy beans and foods that contain soy protein isolates must be removed from
the diet, as these are one of the main causes of fibroids.
You can however consume fermented soy like natto or miso.
5: Cotton Tampons 94% of the cotton grown in the USA is GMO,
meaning that it contains chemicals that can interfere with your hormones and trigger the
growth of fibroids.
Switch to organic tampons if you use them, and cut out cottonseed oil from your diet.
Start to make healthier lifestyle choices.
Where you can consume organic, none GMO fruits and vegetables to avoid hormone disruptors.
We also recommend eating hormone free meats, pasture raised eggs and wild caught salmon.
These are healthier for your body and will be less likely to interfere with your hormones
and cause further growth of your fibroids.
Summary
Fibroids are caused by having too much estrogen in the body, from environmental estrogens,
genetically modified foods and chemicals in the environment.
To shrink fibroids it's important to improve your diet and start making healthier lifestyle
choices, by eating none GMO foods, and avoiding hormone disruptors.
Eating lots of organic whole foods and hormone free meats can dramatically improve the hormone
balance, and therefore help to shrink fibroids.
