Well-known Nollywood actress Ini-Dinma Okojie has talked about how her fight with fibroids has changed her lifestyle.
She listed the foods she intended to give up in order to reduce the size of the fibroid.
She revealed on social media that fibroids, which were surgically removed three years prior, have regrettably come back.
Ini disclosed in a video that she is now managing her disease holistically, cutting out specific foods from her diet.
She explained: “So I’m currently on a holistic journey to shrink fibroids. That means I have to go on what I call a fibroids diet and these are some of the things I’ve had to give up. Red meat, so lamb, cow, ram, goat, sausages, processed meat, any form of red meat. White carbs, so white pasta, noodles, rice, bread. Dairy, so cheese, whole milk. Refined sugar, so cookies, cake, condiments, processed food in general. Carbonated drinks, caffeine, high sodium foods like soy, things that are really high in salt.”
Okojie explained that these foods are high in estrogen, which could contribute to the growth of fibroids.
She added, “We are avoiding these things because they are high in estrogen and you don’t want that because those make the fibroids grow. All of these are useless if you’re not keeping your stress levels down, but I live in Lagos, God help me.”
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
