20 Jan Women Talking: Vitamin D and uterine fibroids

The presence of vitamin D in our body is necessary to help maintain healthy bones. Clinical studies have also shown that women who maintain an adequate vitamin D level are less likely to develop heart disease or uterine fibroids.

Sources of Vitamin D:

• Fatty fish, like salmon and tuna
• Beef liver
• Dairy
• Eggs
• Avocado
• Vitamin D3 supplements in capsules

If there is a family history of fibroids in your family, consider doing the following:

• See your specialist doctor at least once a year to find out how your uterus is
• Check your hormonal levels
• Increase your intake of Vitamin D to reduce the risk of developing them
• Watch your weight and daily diet
• Get a regular physical activity for at least 30 minutes
