How do I avoid Ovarian Cysts?
“There is no way one can prevent ovary cysts production.” I asked this question to two different gyanes and I was told the same bitter truth.
Is there any way to prevent future cysts from forming? Yes, birth control pills may be prescribed to reduce the probability of other cysts growing but do not treat them. However this would not be a possible option for those who are trying to conceive and most importantly, they do not restore our health.
However when I googled on the net, I learned that changing our diet could be the natural effective ways to treat ovarian cysts. So this is what I am going to do:
- Eat proper food to maintain acid alkali balance
(60-80% alkaline-forming foods and 20-40% acid-forming foods) - Cut down the following foods as they irritate ovarian cysts:
- Food that are rich in estrogen e.g.oats, daily food, tomatoes
- Caffeinated foods, chocolates, soda, sugar - Lower the carbohydrate consumption
- Avoid consumption of alcohol
- Don’t eat meat !! (haha piece of cake! I am a vegetarian!!)
- Stop the bad habit of holding my bladder
- Avoid cold drink whether having ovarian cysts or not !!! This is what I was told by my Chinese Physician!
I am so excited! I hope it is gonna work 
Vegetarian Pregnancy Guide to Health & Nutrition
I often received comments that imply that vegetarian diet is not always healthy. Some even said that vegetarian is bad for me if I am trying to conceive. They wish I would be converted to be a meat eater anytime soon. One of my colleagues even has jokingly regarded this as one of his missions of the year!
Well, I know they meant it for good. But, I never like to eat meat or seafood. As a matter of fact, I loathe it! For some reasons I couldn’t even stand the smell of it especially when it comes to steam fish dishes!
I do understand if I am not careful in picking and choosing the right food, then vegetarian may not be the best diet for my health. When I received ” Your Vegetarian Pregnancy - A Month-by-Month Guide to Health and Nutrition” written by Dr.Holly Roberts as a gift, I was jumping for joy! Needless to say, this is the sort of book that I needed most!
(Thank you Sis Pauline for being so thoughtful, although I got it for quite a while already)
