Food Choices & Fibroids
Fibroids, benign uterine tumors, have been found to be more common in women who eat significant amounts of red meats - and significantly fewer green vegetables. Excessively high estrogen levels seem to play a major role in the development of the tumors and some research suggests that meat may increase estrogen levels. Certain compounds in vegetables like asparagus, spinach, romaine, kale & other green vegetables can help offset some of the estrogens effects on the body because of the isoflavonoids in the veggies. To be on the safer side, try to eat no more than 3 ounces of red meat daily and boost your fruit & veggies up to 5 servings a day.
