Nigerian actress Ini Dima-Okojie recently opened up about changes she’s made to her diet due to her battle with fibroids
She shared on social media that after undergoing surgery three years ago to remove fibroids, they have unfortunately returned.
In a TikTok update, Ini revealed that she’s now following a holistic approach to manage her condition by eliminating certain foods from her diet. She mentioned that she had to give up a variety of foods, including rice, meat, bread, caffeine, pasta, noodles, and more for her health.
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 her 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.”
