Fibroids, especially in Nigeria where many foods are high in carbohydrates, oils, and hormones (especially from processed meats).
While diet won’t shrink fibroids completely, it can help slow their growth, reduce symptoms, and balance your hormones naturally

🚫 Foods to Avoid (or Greatly Reduce)
1. Red Meat (especially processed)
Examples: Suya, kilishi, beef, goat meat, sausages, corned beef.
Reason: Red meat may increase estrogen levels, which can feed fibroid growth.
2. Fried & Fatty Foods
Examples: Fried plantain (dodo), akara, puff puff, meat pie, fried yam.
Reason: Excess oils, especially reused oils, cause inflammation and hormonal imbalance.
3. Dairy with Hormones
Examples: Full-cream milk, processed cheese, some yoghurts.
Reason: Some imported dairy may contain added hormones that increase estrogen levels.
4. Refined Carbohydrates and Sugars
Examples: White bread, white rice, noodles, pastries, biscuits, sugary drinks (soft drinks, malt, sweetened zobo).
Reason: They spike blood sugar and insulin, which raises estrogen and feeds fibroid growth.
5. Alcohol
Examples: Beer, palm wine, spirits.
Reason: Alcohol affects liver function and hormone balance — and the liver processes estrogen.
6. Caffeine (in excess)
Examples: Energy drinks, excessive coffee or black tea.
Reason: May increase estrogen levels and stress hormones like cortisol.
