Endometriosis is a condition that affects the uterus and fallopian tubes. It can cause pain, infertility, and other health problems. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to treating endometriosis, but a healthy diet can help reduce symptoms.
A healthy diet includes plenty of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat proteins. For more details about healthy diet plans for endometriosis visit supplements and endometriosis.
Some foods that may help reduce endometriosis symptoms include:
–Fruits and vegetables: Vegetables are high in antioxidants, which may help prevent damage to the cells that line the uterus. Some examples of vegetables that may be beneficial for endometriosis include broccoli, cauliflower, kale, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, tomatoes, apples, oranges, grapefruit, garlic cloves, and onions.
Fruits also contain antioxidants and are packed with fiber which can help regulate blood sugar levels. Choose fresh or frozen fruits and veggies instead of processed ones to get the most benefit.
– Whole grains: Whole grains are an excellent source of fiber and other nutrients that may help reduce inflammation in the body. Include at least half a cup of whole grains per day in your diet.
Examples of whole grains that you might want to include in your diet include oats, quinoa, brown rice pasta (but avoid white pasta), barley flakes cereal (try oat bran), bulgur wheat packets (look for those without added sugar or oils), farroita bread (made from Bulgur wheat)
