However, the claim that women with uterine fibroids have a genetic tendency

that cannot be altered is nothing but a myth. While genes are a set of rules or

principles that determine your physical characteristics, along with the
tendency to develop or prevent diseases, your genes, similar to a blueprint,

By choosing to take control over your inner and outer environment (by

changing your diet, for example) you can strongly influence your genetic
tendencies and therefore help your body overcome disease.

A diet high in refined carbohydrates, processed and toxic foods and low in
fresh fruit and vegetables affects biochemical processes within the cells,

contributes to hormonal imbalance, worsens digestion and interferes with the
natural toxic elimination process.

Lack of good nutrition is another factor. Our bodies need to obtain about 40
essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients to enable the cells in our bodies to

fully function and remain healthy. These nutrients mostly come from our diet

since the body cannot produce them by itself. When we eat more processed
foods and fewer foods with high nutritional value, the immune system declines

and becomes less effective since nutrition is highly essential for healthy
immune functioning. With a weakened defense system, we make it easier for

Uterine fibroids and their related symptoms to develop.

Over-acidity in the digestive system, usually due to a diet high in acidic foods,

is another major factor. A state of over-acidity causes the blood to become
