How I had to change my diet to shrink fibroids – Ini-Dinma Okojie (Video)

Nollywood actress Ini-Dinma Okojie has opened up about a great lifestyle change she’s had to make due to her ongoing battle with fibroids.

After undergoing surgery three years ago to remove the fibroids, she revealed that they have unfortunately returned.

Now, she’s taking a holistic approach to manage her condition, which involves making drastic changes to her diet.

In a video shared on social media, Ini detailed the foods she has decided to eliminate in an effort to shrink the fibroids.

Among the items she has given up are rice, meat, bread, caffeine, pasta, noodles, and more.

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 stated that these foods are high in estrogen, which can 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.”
