Breast problems (Part 1) :3 food groups to avoid…..
Mild breast problems during the time of
your periods are considered as normal physiological
change. They reflect the surges of your
female hormones. But do you suffer from
severe breast changes around the time of your periods?
- Pain in the breast
- Lumpy breast
- Cystic breast
- Heaviness in breast
These symptoms are known as
fibrocystic breast disease. There are, however,
many lifestyle factors that can aggravate your breast changes.
Today we will discuss about 3 food to avoid if
you are suffering from breast problems:
- High fat: High fat diet raises your estrogen level. And
excess estrogen builds up fluid in your body. This
leads to lump & pain in your breast.
- Dairy products: Some dairy product contains
hormones that may worsen your breast pain & lump.
- Caffeine: coffee & other sources of caffeine like
tea, cola, chocolates etc, contains a chemical known as
– methylxanthine. It stretches blood vessels,
irritates nerves & increases your breast tenderness.
It is true that around the time of your periods,
there is craving for such food. But if they cause
problems, then you must avoid it.
That’s all for today
Next week we will discuss about the food groups
that helps you to relieve your breast problems.
Till then..
Take care….
