Fibroids, or non-cancerous growths, are not uncommon in women between 30 and 50 years of age. Since one factor that is implicated in the presence of these benign growths is excessive weight, implementing and carrying through an exercise program that is both fun and effective is crucial. Depending on your inclination and life stage you could try energetic programs like step aerobics or low-impact workouts like Tai Chi and yoga. Meditation can also help by bringing the focus onto more positive aspects and releasing of negative emotions like anger
Along with exercise, life-style changes such as an improved diet, can also go a long way in tackling this problem. Investing a little more for organic food products instead of conventionally grown food products will pay in the long run. This will ensure that you are not exposed to estrogen or estrogen-simulating chemicals, which have been implicated in the formation of fibroids.
Inclusion of fiber-rich food like whole-wheat breads and pasta instead of refined flour is a substitution that can be implemented for positive results. Increasing the intake of organic fruits and green vegetables that have not been over-cooked has a cleansing effect on the system.
Immediate pain relief from pain due to fibroids can be obtained by placing a towel soaked in hot water on the stomach. You can blend some castor oil or ginger with the water as this could help reduce the size of the fibroids.
