Taking control of endometriosis through diet

  Hello my loves. It's still March. Which means that I will be uploading information completely dedicated to endometriosis. I began this blog to share this data all year long. One of the main aspects of gaining some control over your endometriosis is to start with what you put into your body. There are certain foods that women with the condition should avoid. This list is also known as the "endo-diet. If this diet is followed as close as possible, it can decrease symptoms. Such as:

• pelvic pain
• constipation
• hormonal imbalance
• fatigue
• bloating
• bleeding between periods
• heavy bleeding

  Some of the foods that contribute to those symptoms are:

• red meat
• pork
• dairy products
• saturated and trans fat
• alcohol
• gluten
• soy products                            
• refined sugar
• caffeine
• processed food

  The main objective in managing endometriosis naturally is to eat healthy. That's it. It does take time to see results, while changes occur overnight. Here is a list of foods that help ease endometriosis symptoms:

• green leafy vegetables-which contains a lot of iron 
• food's rich in omega 3's
• foods rich in antioxidants, such as blueberries, oranges, etc
• lots of distilled, spring or PH water. You can make your own PH/alkaline water by adding a few drops of lemon or lime to water
• legumes, nuts, seeds, and grains
• ginger which is anti-inflammatory, and helps decrease ovarian cysts

  These are just a few of the items to avoid and to be added to your diet. I guarantee that with the right research, you'll be more fulfilled with this way of eating. I also prefer to refer to the dietary changes as lifestyle changes. If you'd like to learn different recipes, check out more posts on this blog! Also subscribe to be notified when there are new posts!
