Four glasses of milk a day, keep fibroids at bay
How often have you, your mother or a friend complained about uterine fibroids? Well, your cure could be milk.
A new report from the Slone Epidemiology Center suggests that Black women who take a high amount of dairy products have a lower risk of getting fibroids.
Based on The Black Women’s Health Study, research reveals that the average Black woman, who shows high levels of fibroids, consume little milk and thus has lower levels of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus. Black women who increased their dairy intake to four servings a day decreased their fibroid levels by 30%.
However, if you are allergic to milk, talk to your doctor about how you can receive the nutrients in dairy products.
