“Let your food be your first medicine”
When I knew I had endometriosis, I quickly returned to my basics, my essentials, what I knew, yoga tools and diet. I really believe in “I may your food be your medicine”.
I went towards an anti-inflammatory, basifying diet. I felt that my body needed (more) nourishing and nutritious foods to get better. I turned to organic (which I could check with local producers), the local, seasonal, to be sure to have the necessary vitamins, nutrients and trace elements. And not to ingest endocrine toxicants and disruptors at the same time.
“Whether your food is your medicine”. It’s true I think and that’s what I try to apply from day to day.
More and more studies link diet/inflammation and chronic inflammation/endometriosis.
So we might as well adopt an anti-inflammatory diet to relieve us and live better with endometriosis. I remind you of this or reveal the main principles in this article.
The main principles to keep in mind without headaches
I prefer
– I’m stocking up on omega 3
For those who do not have allergies and intolerances to eggs, they are a superb source of omega 3 that make it possible to thin your membranes, ensure good cell exchanges and play a positive role in the inflammatory and immune process.
Omega 3 is also found in small fatty fish, mackerel, sardines, flaxseed, chia seeds, walnuts, rapeseed oil, avocados, and also lamb’s lettuce and salad (in smaller quantities).
Let’s go back to the eggs…
I learned that fertilized eggs contain more vitamin C.
Eggs in the “blue-white-heart” stream contain much more omega 3, iodine, selenium, vitamin D, vitamin E, lutein and zeaxanthin, carotenoids that are super good for our eyes, vitamin A, vitamin B 12, B2 and B5, phosphorus… than conventional eggs, even organic.
If you can’t find them, you can go to this site and ask to have a card sent to your supermarket so that they can offer heart-white eggs.
Of course, local, organic eggs will always be very interesting for their nutritional values and to favor small local producers.
– I eat a lot of vegetables
– I make sure to have a gentle cooking at low temperature
I couldn’t stand eating “raw” or raw.
It is not easy to find the right cooking method that does not destroy all the efforts made to have a nourishing and quality diet. Soft steaming then seemed the most appropriate for me. I could eat hot, and with less aggression for my digestive system, while feeding my body and mind with everything it needs to function well.
For what, yes, foods, vitamins, trace elements and mineral salts are super important vital elements for the proper functioning of our body. Especially when you have assimilation problems and the body has to beat the inflammation. The body needs it every day to regenerate and live harmoniously in balance.
I’ll talk to you again very quickly about the soft steam in a next post.
– I eat more fiber
– I cook and it makes me happy. I can even do it in full consciousness
– I consume local, organic, seasonal
I say goodbye or I reduce pro-inflammatory foods
– white sugar, refined
– saturated fats
– meat, especially red
Meat is one of the foods to avoid for many reasons, including:
– > it may contain pesticides and hormones with an estrogenic effect except endometriosis lesions are estrogen-dependent (they react to estrogens that has an effect on the triggering of bleeding).
– > it plays an acidic role on the body. Acidity has an inflammatory effect that will exacerbate the pain.
– > the body uses a lot of energy to transform it
A recent scientific study confirms once again that meat consumption would increase the risk of endometriosis.
If poultry, fish, molluscs, and eggs would not be related to the risk of endometriosis, and if you are not vegetarian or vegan, I would however recommend choosing them by limiting the risk of contamination by hormones, pesticides, endocrine disruptors (of their environment, food) by favoring the local, organic, and all small fish (less pollutants indoors because smaller).
– gluten
– the lactose contained in dairy products
– alcohol
– tobacco
– soy
– coffee and excitement
– processed products
– products with an impressive list of ingredients or ingredients that I don’t know
– additives and dyes
More than a quarter of the 300 food additives authorized in Europe should be avoided for their health risk according to UFC Que choisir.
Here is the grid of food additives to avoid… there are unfortunately many…
And in the end, it makes delicious, nourishing, very colorful plates or bowls…
