Xenoestrogens or foreign estrogens!
Xenoestrogens can wreak havoc on normal hormone balance by mimicking the body’s natural estrogen, which in turn can lead to imbalance in the ratio of estrogen to progesterone. Fibroid can lead then develop as a result of this estrogen dominance.
Its important to reduce or avoid foods that promote excess estrogen- processed foods, dairy, products, refined carbohydrates, and excess alcohol and caffeine
Xenoestrogens are also found in personal care products, cosmetics, household cleaners, plastics “Plastic Bottle- Bottled water” and pesticides.
